This is my last prediction post for the season discussing who will make the playoffs, who won’t, who will win, and who won’t.
As promised, I’ve been keeping track of what I say week to week so you can call me out on any bullshit you may see. TODAY, I’ll recap and highlight in BOLD any Conference Championship predictions I got right and make my final Superb Owl predicción.
Without further ado, TO THE STANDINGS!
AFC
For historical purposes, here are the final regular season standings with my correct predictions in BOLD.
| # | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | Actual |
| 1 | KC | KC | KC | KC | KC | KC | KC |
| 2 | NE | NE | NE | NE | NE | NE | NE |
| 3 | PIT | HOU | HOU | HOU | HOU | HOU | HOU |
| 4 | HOU | PIT | PIT | BAL | PIT | BAL | BAL |
| 5 | LAC | LAC | LAC | LAC | LAC | LAC | LAC |
| 6 | BAL | BAL | BAL | PIT | BAL | IND | IND |
AFC Playoffs
I was right all along in picking a New England- Kansas City AFC Championship and also picking New England to win in Kansas City.
Here is the table with the full and final AFC Playoff predictions, for historical purposes:
| 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | WC | DIV | Actual | |
| WC1 | PIT>BAL | PIT>LAC | PIT>LAC | PIT>HOU | PIT>LAC | HOU>IND | HOU>IND | IND>HOU | ||
| WC2 | HOU>LAC | HOU>BAL | HOU>BAL | BAL>LAC | BAL>HOU | BAL>LAC | BAL>LAC | LAC>BAL | ||

NFC
For historical purposes, here are the final regular season standings with my correct predictions in BOLD.
| # | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | Actual |
| 1 | LAR | LAR | LAR | NO | NO | NO | NO |
| 2 | NO | NO | NO | LAR | LAR | LAR | LAR |

| 4 | DAL | DAL | DAL | DAL | DAL | DAL | DAL |

NFC Playoffs
As you all saw, I donated $100 to the charity of Hippo’s choice, Planned Parenthood, and I also ended up buying a nice bottle of whisky for a co-worker.
I will also say that only the worst blown call in NFL history prevented me from picking the correct Superb Owl matchup all the way since I started doing this series.
Here is the table with the full and final NFC Playoff predictions, for historical purposes:
| 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | WC | DIV | Actual | |
| W1 | SEA>CHI | CHI>CAR | PHI>CHI | CHI>PHI | PHI>CHI | PHI>CHI | PHI>CHI | PHI>CHI | ||
| W2 | CAR>DAL | SEA>DAL | SEA>DAL | DAL>SEA | SEA>DAL | SEA>DAL | SEA>DAL | DAL>SEA | ||
| D1 | SEA>LAR | SEA>LAR | LAR>PHI | CHI>LAR | SEA>LAR | SEA>LAR | SEA>LAR | DAL>LAR | LAR>DAL | |
| D2 | NO>CAR | NO>CHI | NO>SEA | NO>DAL | NO>PHI | NO>PHI | NO>PHI | NO>PHI | NO>PHI | |
| C | NO>SEA | NO>SEA | NO>LAR | NO>CHI | NO>SEA | NO>SEA | NO>SEA | NO>DAL | NO>LAR | LAR>NO |
As I’ve noted before, the NFC Championship will be the real Super Bowl as the winner will handle New England in The Asshole. I’ve got to stick with that.
Superb Owl
Rams beat New England.

Go ahead and tell me I’m stupid! You know you love to!
(17/69)
For once, I actually WANT you to be right. Again, my gut says different. Or maybe I just need to take a shit.
My Mr. Coffee k-cup thingy broke yesterday, so I am at my favourite coffee house (The Chanticleer). One of the baristas looks almost exactly like Heather Graham.
If only I were the sort of man who could “jokingly” inquire if she’s into Rollergirl cosplay.
Why not? At this point, what have you got to lose?
true, one can’t fall off the floor! But it would come off WAY more as creepy than as bashful flirting, and I should nae impose that on anyone. Not for a 1 in 10,000,000 chance.
I think if you play it right, it would come off as cute/funny.
Rollergirl cosplay is more common than one would think according to a recent PEW pole.
I think the P*ts will run away with it and Cheeto will remain the POTUS for the coming year. The timeline fits it. The pacific islanders who are losing land realize this.
*checks to see who is announcing the superbowl
I predict that the spread holds at Patriots -2.5, and the Patriots win by one or two. I would *not* want to bet on that, though, because there is great potential for a bad beat.
The line moving up (opened at 1.5) indicates my unfortunate gut is right.
May Baby Buster somehow find his misplaced brain, Todd Gurley get all the horse tranquilizers, and Two of the Good Ones steal Dreamboat’s fucking soul.
I got to I predict that the spread holds at and then went off on a gif tangent, so to speak.
I’ve got to agree with you. I think that Rams defense shows up, and makes things happen.
Wade Phillips knows what up….
Do you think Coach McVay insists that his players refer to him as “C. McV.”?
RAMMIT!!!!! will bring the pressure (I hope). Aging Tawmmy will wilt as he always does when gameplanned properly (NO PREVENT D RAMS, PLEASE????). Baby Buster comes of age, and Gurley goes off for 150 on the ground. And the Lombardi comes home to the Coliseum.
I think it would be funny if the two Super Bowls won by LA teams were by teams that played at the Coliseum that season and then left.
Well, if that happened……
As long as Trent Brown and Gronk are healthy enough to block, who the hell can stop the pats running game? I’m pessimistic the pats lose 2 of these things in a row.
Aaron Donald and Donkey Kong Suh! My co-worker convinced me that Donald is the rightful NFL MVP (not just DPOY).
