Anyone have predictions? For western Conference and Eastern Conference?

As an owner and OC/DC, I can honestly say that the playoffs worry the tar out of me. I have seen some of the weirdest things happen. I've been with teams that were a top 2 seed that was blown out in the first round for no apparent reason. I've also been with a middle of the pack team that made it to the league championship game, beating two teams that destroyed us in the regular season.
Boosting or game planning wasn't the cause for the upsets. A team that never turns the ball over will have 5 INTs or lost fumbles against a team that never causes turnovers. Or a QB that has a 47% completion rate on the season will have an 80% completion rate in the playoffs. You know, something along those lines. Bort and his fan boys can say what they want, but I am convinced there is a "switch" that is turned on during the playoffs.

One thing that I'll never understand are these teams that sand bag so much that they end up a 5-8 seed in the playoffs. They hold off on dumping SPs most of the season, or they are cap 21 or higher and wait to boost until right before their first playoff game. So they are behind everyone else as far as VAs.
They are setting their team up for financial failure. If they would have played straight up, they would have had at least one home game. They also typically get promoted and are at least one stadium section behind their counterparts.

No predictions.
Just good luck to all the playoff teams.
Hope to see you guys back for another season as it was pretty competetive.

With the 1,2,3 and 5th seeds left neither would be a massive upset,these are all pretty even teams and in the playoffs anything can happen.Good luck to all.

The 5th seed beating the 1st seed wouldn't be a massive upset? Really? O_o

My old team was a #2 seed in S7 and lost to a #7 seed. That was a pretty massive upset. #5 over a #1 isn't really all that Earth shattering, since it's not exactly rare.

How was that an upset? They almost beat the Pats in the regular season. The Pats got lazy.
