Playoff predictions to laugh at later

Update: I am adding the actual playoff results in italics next to my predictions.

For what it's worth, here are my playoff predictions for this year. I think the Carolina Panthers will beat the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl.

After watching Carolina beat San Diego in the first week of the regular season, I had a hunch that they would go to the Super Bowl, and they haven't done anything to change my mind. They remind me a lot of the 2007 New York Giants, with a team that has several talented running backs, a strong defense and a talented quarterback that can deliver a victory when needed. I think Baltimore is the only defense that can get into Peyton Manning's head, and in the AFC, that's enough to propel them.
