Annual cruddy NFL predictions

First, to take care of some business, click HERE for photos from Aug. 14-20. 

In 2017 I predicted the Champion Patriots (not that that's something to be proud of) and I had half of the playoff teams correct. The story was not the same as 2018. I put far too much faith in Kirk Cousins being the Vikings' savior, and it came back to bite me real hard. However, I did have 7-of-12 playoff teams correct, so perhaps there is faith yet? Here is what I thought: 


Round 1: 
NFC
  Green Bay(WC) at New Orleans
  Carolina (WC) at Philadelphia
AFC
  Baltimore (WC) at Houston
  Jacksonville (WC) at LA Chargers
Divisional Round: 
AFC
 Baltimore at New England 
  LA Chargers at Pittsburgh
NFC
  Carolina at LA Rams
Green Bay at Minnesota
Conference Championships: 
NFC
  Carolina at Minnesota
AFC 
  Pittsburgh at New England 
Super Bowl: 
  Pittsburgh vs. Minnesota

Champ: Minnesota (34-18) MVP: Kirk Cousins

As you can see, the NFC predictions were atrocious, as Green Bay, Minnesota and Carolina did not make the playoffs. In the AFC it wasn't as bad, but it was not very good either as neither Pittsburgh or Jacksonville made the playoffs, and I didn't have the Chiefs in the playoffs, which is ludicrous. But, it is not he worst. I had 7-of-12 playoff teams right, though not in the right spots. The Patriots were the only of the Conference Championship teams that I had correct, so it was not he best.

How will it go in 2019-20? Follow along below:
