Since the Cowboys are not in it we should relax and enjoy the playoffs the best we can. Who do you like and dislike to win it all? Who will you be rooting for and against the most?

My choices:

Like to win: The Chiefs. Got to go the Reid/Mahomes combo. Experience counts in these games.
Mostly unlikely to win: The Steelers. Lots of candidates here. Would be a real shocker if anyone of 8 or so teams won it all.

I will be rooting for hardest: The Ravens. I like Lamar Jackson. I think the guy is an outstanding talent but lacks playoff success.
I will be rooting against the most: The Packers. Hated those guys going way back to the 1966 and 1967 NFL Championship games.

Anybody but Kansas City
I would love to see Buffalo, Detroit
even Minnesota would be interesting
If the Ravens just give their running backs 6 rushes like they did in their last playoff game, your scenario could work out.

That team is equipped to make a deep run but Lamar's playoff record is 2-4

Sounds a Tad familiar.......

The defense doesn’t show up in the playoffs, they’re supposed to have one of the best, but doesn’t look like it when I watch them play

Semi-rooting for the Chargers. I don’t mind the Bills, Ravens, or Lions either. Otherwise, I have no interest except for maybe for KC to lose. But they certainly don’t piss me off enough to vehemently root against them as much as the Patriots did in years past.

I've been a Josh Allen fan since his Wyoming days. Also have a soft spot for Buffalo after The Four Falls. I could get behind Minnesota for the same reason. Just give me a different team and not the Eagles or Chiefs again. There are a lot of unlikely teams to win it all.
Bills vs. Lions for all the chips.

Agree in previous years but it could be the other way round this time. The defense has been getting hot towards the end of the regular season this time.

Ravens vs Eagles superbowl with the Ravens getting it done.

Im in Rochester so there is some emotional investment in the Bills. Id love to see the fanbase get a SB

Rooting for the Lions, Vikings in the NFC. Bucs too I guess.

AFC, don't care.

Lions due to Dan Campbell and Gibbs.
Vikings due to Darnold actually being competent and laughing at the Jets/Carolina.

My hope is that the Bills meet the Vikings in the SB. Probably won't happen, but if it does, we'll get to see one team lose the first 5 and only SBs they have ever been in. I find that fascinating.

They had a very slow defensive start since losing Patrick Queen but have improved as of late, perhaps ranked around 14th, now

Their offense can be overwhelming so they just need their defense to be above average....we shall see how it goes.

Too many teams in the NFL too many games in the NFL too many bad players in the NFL that could not have played in the highlight of the mid 90s.

This leads to fluff bloviated garbage football - like the Texans.
