NFL Playoff Predictions

By: Arianna Dayoub '32   

The 2025-26 NFl season was full of exciting games, big plays, surprising teams, and some conflicts. Now it's time for the playoffs where the best teams in the league compete to win the Super Bowl. Here are my predictions for the teams that made it in the playoffs and how far I think they go.

NFC playoff teams

Philadelphia Eagles

The Eagles are tough,fast and play really well as a team. They don't have a strong offense line. When they are focused and work together as a team they can beat anyone, especially important games. I think they make the Super bowl.

San Francisco 49ers

 The 49ers have a strong team with good players on offense and defense. They are very well coached and know how to win the playoff games. I don't think they will make it to the end of the playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys 

The Cowboys are a talented team that plays well during the season. However, they sometimes struggle in the playoffs. I think they win one game and lose after that.

Detroit Lions

The Lions have improved a lot and play with confidence. Their fans are excited to see them in the playoffs. I think they will win a game but fall short later on.

Green Bay Packers

The Packers are a young team with tons of talent. They did well to make the playoffs, but they might not be ready for the long run yet.

Los Angeles Rams 

The Rams have experience and good coaching. I think they will make it in the Super Bowl.

Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks fight hard and never give up. Even so, the playoffs are tough, and I think they will lose the first round.

AFC Playoff Teams 

Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs have lots experience in the Super Bowl and in the playoffs. They have a strong offense and know how to win big games. I think they will go very far in the playoffs and go to the Super Bowl.

Buffalo Bills

The Bills are a strong team with a powerful offense. They play hard and don't give up easily. I think they will go very far in the playoffs but lose later on in the playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens are known for running the ball and playing a tough defense. They are hard to beat, especially in the playoffs. I think they will win one game but not make it to the Super Bowl.

Cincinnati Bengals

Strong quarterback play and a talented team over all making the Bengals dangerous. They can score a lot of points. I think they will lose the second round.

Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins are a very fast and exciting team to watch. Even though they are fun to watch, playoff games are harder. They might lose early

Houston Texans

The Texans are a young team that keep getting better. Making the playoffs a big step for them. I think they try hard but lose earlier on.

Cleveland Browns 

The Browns have a strong defense, but their offense struggles and has conflicts sometimes. Because of that I think they lost the first round. 

Super Bowl Prediction

I predict that the Kansas City Chiefs will play the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl. Both teams are powerful with good defense and offense. The Chiefs have an advantage because of their experience in the playoffs and Super Bowl. But, I think the Rams will win due to their performance this year.
