With the 2018 NFL season less than a month away, many fans are anticipating and predicting how their favorite team will do. Every team in the record book is equal, every team is currently undefeated. There are many headlines coming into 2018 including the revamped LA Rams and the return of stars JJ Watt and Odell Beckham Jr. among others. While every team technically has a chance a the Lombardi, realistically only a few do. Here are my 2018 NFL predictions for the playoffs.

Super Bowl LIII
New England vs Green Bay,
New England is pissed after last years loss to the Eagles. This will be a team with revenge on their mind and will deliver a sixth Lombardi to Foxborough.
Super Bowl MVP
Joe Cardona, Patriots Long Snapper
Former Naval Academy Midshipmen, Long Snappers never get the credit they deserve.
Actual MVP, Tom Brady, Patriots Quarterback
No reason needed, just wanted to give the Long Snapper some recognition.
So there you have it, now you have something in February to show me when I’m way off, or I have something to say I told you so. Either way I’m excited for football season and hope you enjoy this season.
