Fourteen teams, two Super Bowl berths, one title.
The equation of the playoffs is known, but especially the participants. Who will go to the end? Here is the prognosis of the editorial staff of TDA!
Voters: Antoine Ajavon, Alain Mattei, Alexandre Lauque, Ben, Brice Duhamel, Clément Charvet, Elioth Salmon, François Tusséki, Gregory Richard, Kevin Renaudet, Jean-Michel Bougeard, Lucas Vola, Marc Orfila, Matthieu Pasquier, Mathieu David, Nithinya Simuong , Raoul Villeroy, Raphaël Masmejean, Romain Therasse, Sebastien Polomeni, Tiffany Amisse, Tristan Henry, Victor Roullier, Xavier Renaud
The bracket (explanation and percentage in the rest of the article)
wild card
AFC Conference
Jaguars (4) – Chargers (5): Chargers win 54%
Bengals (3) – Ravens (6): Bengals victory 96%
Bills (2) – Dolphins (7): Bills win 96%
Unsurprisingly, the Bills and the Bengals are largely favorites, it must be said that they will face two teams deprived of a decent quarterback. The only undecided match is between the Chargers and the Jaguars, and it is ultimately the lowest ranked team that comes out in this young QB duel.
NFC Conference
Buccaneers (4) – Cowboys (5): Cowboys win 58%
Vikings (3) – Giants (6): Vikings win 71%
49ers (2) – Seahawks (7): 49ers win 96%
If the writing trusts the Niners, the victory of the Vikings is less clear. A little less than a third of the editorial staff imagine the Giants creating a surprise. The most indecisive match is obviously the meeting between Tom Brady and “America’s Team”, and it is the latter who wins.
Divisional Round
AFC Conference
Chiefs: 96% chance of qualifying
Bills: 67% chance of qualifying
Bengals; 33% chance of qualifying
Chargers: 4% chance of qualifying
No votes: Jaguars, Ravens, Dolphins
As expected, it’s a 3-way race in the AFC which leads to a virtual certainty: the Chiefs will be in the conference final. The duel between Bills and Bengals turns to the advantage of the Bills, for a match which would therefore be disputed in Atlanta.
NFC Conference
Eagles: 79% chance of qualifying
49ers: 79% chance of qualifying
Vikings: 17%
Cowboys: 13%
Other votes: Buccaneers (8%), Giants (4%)
No votes: Seahawks
For the NFC, the suspense is much less strong for the voters: the Eagles and the 49ers are the big favorites! Vikings and Cowboys are lagging far behind, but the odds are real.
conference final
AFC Conference
Chiefs: 42% chance of qualifying
Bengals: 13% chance of qualifying
Bills: 46% chance of qualifying
No votes: Jaguars, Chargers, Ravens, Dolphins
In a breathtaking duel, it is the Bills who get a place in the Super Bowl, beating the Chiefs by a single vote!
NFC Conference
Eagles: 29% chance of qualifying
49ers: 58% chance of qualifying
Other votes: Buccaneers (4%), Vikings (8%)
No votes: Cowboys, Giants, Seahawks
Less suspense here, the favorite is San Francisco! Author of a second part of the canon season, Kyle Shanahan’s men are going to face the Bills.

Bills: 38% chance of victory
49ers: 25% chance of victory
Other vote: Chiefs (29%), Bengals (4%), Eagles (4%)
No votes: Jaguars, Chargers, Ravens, Dolphins, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Vikings, Giants, Seahawks
This is one of the paradoxes of these votes: the two favorites for the Super Bowl are in the same conference. Suffice to say that the editorial staff has more confidence in the AFC than in the NFC. San Francisco still has a small chance, while Bengals and Eagles also receive one vote each.
