2024 NFL Playoff Predictions – Wildcard Round
7. Dallas Cowboys (9-8) at 2. San Francisco 49ers (12-5)
Anyone who has been paying attention to this one-sided rivalry knows how this game will go. The 49ers dominate the Cowboys, who can’t stop the run. Christian McCaffrey will rip through Dallas’ defense, as Mike McCarthy likely coaches his final game for Dallas.
49ers 30, Cowboys 17
6. Green Bay Packers (11-6) at 3. Detroit Lions (12-5)
The Packers marched into Detroit and dismantled the Lions last Thanksgiving. Could there be a repeat of that? Perhaps, but the Lions were likely unfocused after crushing Green Bay in the first meeting. The Lions have done enough to their secondary to help clamp down on Christian Watson. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s weakness versus the run could come back to haunt them.
Lions 34, Packers 24
5. Los Angeles Rams (12-5) at 4. Atlanta Falcons (9-8)
The Rams shouldn’t have much of a challenge in this game. The Falcons will be wishing they selected a dynamic pass rusher at No. 8 overall to help pressure Matthew Stafford. This will be a blowout.
Rams 34, Falcons 17
7. Miami Dolphins (10-7) at 2. Houston Texans (12-5)
The Dolphins at full strength can beat anyone. However, given how many key injuries they’ve suffered in recent years, it’s difficult to trust them to remain healthy. There’s a much better chance that the Texans are closer to 100 percent for this matchup. Besides, Jalen Ramsey is no longer the elite cornerback he once was, so it’s fair to wonder how the Dolphins will deal with all of Houston’s receivers.
Texans 31, Dolphins 23
6. Jacksonville Jaguars (10-7) at 3. Kansas City Chiefs (12-5)
It’s become an annual tradition for the Jaguars to run into the Chiefs buzzsaw and lose by double digits. There’s no reason to believe that this matchup will be any different, as the Jaguars haven’t fully fixed their primary problems.
Chiefs 34, Jaguars 24
5. Buffalo Bills (11-6) at 4. New York Jets (11-6)
Will Aaron Rodgers have the playoff run that was expected of him a year ago? If so, it begins here versus Buffalo. The Jets have had the Bills’ number in recent years. They’ve been known to frustrate Josh Allen for the most part, and Buffalo doesn’t run well enough to exploit the Jets’ only defensive weakness.
Jets 20, Bills 17
2024 NFL Playoff Predictions – Divisional Round
5. Los Angeles Rams (12-5) at 1. Philadelphia Eagles (13-4)
The Rams can beat anyone in their dome, but they won’t be playing in ideal conditions in Philadelphia. The Eagles also have the pass rush to overwhelm Matthew Stafford. The Rams will be yearning for the Aaron Donald days in this matchup, as they won’t be able to put a hand on Jalen Hurts or clamp down on Saquon Barkley.
Eagles 31, Rams 24
3. Detroit Lions (12-5) at 2. San Francisco 49ers (12-5)
The 49ers and Lions meet again. Detroit had a 17-point lead in the NFC Championship, but blew it. This time, the Lions will have a better chance to hold on to the lead, thanks to the additions of D.J. Reader and two talented rookie cornerbacks. San Francisco’s offensive line can’t totally be trusted against Detroit’s terrific pass rush.
Lions 31, 49ers 28
4. New York Jets (11-6) at 1. Cincinnati Bengals (12-5)
The Jets have one of the top pass defenses in the NFL, but will they be able to stop Joe Burrow and his talented receivers? The Bills couldn’t beat the Jets in the opening round of the playoffs because of their very questionable receiver situation, but Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins should be able to crack through the Jets secondary. Plus, it’s more likely that New York will have more injuries than Cincinnati at this stage of the season.
Bengals 29, Jets 23
3. Kansas City Chiefs (12-5) at 2. Houston Texans (12-5)
The Chiefs have a stellar pass defense, but they’re not as strong against the run. The Texans have a trio of terrific receivers, but their ground attack is questionable with a declining Joe Mixon replacing Devon Singletary. Houston will have a chance to win this game if it can establish Mixon, but it’s more likely that Patrick Mahomes will get the best of the opposing young quarterback.
Chiefs 34, Texans 26
2024 NFL Playoff Predictions – Championship Sunday
3. Detroit Lions (12-5) at 1. Philadelphia Eagles (13-4)
The Lions will be better against the pass this year because of the great improvements the front office made this offseason. However, it’s going to be almost impossible for any team to contain the Eagles now that Saquon Barkley is on the roster. Meanwhile, Philadelphia’s defense has also made vast improvements. And if that’s not enough of a reason to pick Philadelphia, consider that Jared Goff will be playing in bad weather for the first time in the playoffs. The Lions were the pick over the Eagles in the NFC Championship in last year’s season previews, but the Eagles will prevail in the 2024 version.
Eagles 38, Lions 31
3. Kansas City Chiefs (12-5) at 1. Cincinnati Bengals (12-5)
The Ravens looked like a buzzsaw last year versus the Texans, but fell to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship because they couldn’t run the ball against them. Kansas City’s defensive weakness is stopping the run. The Bengals will not be able to exploit that, in all likelihood, with Zack Moss and Chase Brown. Joe Burrow will do everything in his power to keep this game close, but Patrick Mahomes will prevail versus Cincinnati for the second-consecutive AFC Championship meeting.
Chiefs 23, Bengals 20
2024 NFL Playoff Predictions – Super Bowl LIX at New Orleans
Philadelphia Eagles (13-4) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (12-5)
As stated earlier, the Chiefs’ liability is the run defense. The Jaguars, Texans and Bengals won’t be able to exploit that. Philadelphia wouldn’t have been able to do so a year ago either. However, things have changed. The Eagles signed Saquon Barkley, a dynamic threat who can push the team over the top. Kansas City will have its hands full with Barkley, which will prevent it from fully focusing on Jalen Hurts and his talented receivers. The Eagles, meanwhile, have one of the top pass rushes in the NFL, so they can give Patrick Mahomes fits, much like the Buccaneers did in the Super Bowl during the 2020 season.
