The 2020 NFL Playoffs have finally arrived. Let’s predict what will happen this postseason, and which teams will face off in Super Bowl 54 on February 2.
Only four short months ago, 32 teams set out in search of gridiron glory. Now only 12 teams remain as the 2020 NFL Playoffs are set to get underway this weekend. We’ve waded through 17 outrageous weeks of action, and the next month is sure to offer just as many twists and turns.
So what should we be expecting between now and Super Bowl 54? It’s anyone’s guess, but I’m going to do my best to predict the future.
I won’t lie — my predictions from last year weren’t anything to write home about. While I did predict three of the final four teams correctly, I had the New Orleans Saints and Baltimore Ravens meeting in the Super Bowl. Obviously that didn’t happen, as the New England Patriots instead stuck it to the Los Angeles Rams for their sixth Lombardi Trophy.
My mishaps aside, anything can happen during the NFL playoffs. We’ve witnessed countless surprises throughout the 2019 campaign, with supposed contenders tumbling while projected pushovers turned into legitimate threats. The postseason brings out the best in players, so your ideal approach is to expect the unexpected.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at my predictions for the entire 2020 NFL Playoffs.
