NFL: Early Predictions For The Playoffs And Super Bowl

NFC Wild Card Round (Pt. 2)

Minnesota Vikings @ Philadelphia Eagles The irony of the Eagles taking the NFC East could mean that they face the Minnesota Vikings, arguably a stronger side than the Panthers who would face the second-placed Cowboys. As mentioned, a lot of the NFC playoff picture depends on whether Chip Kelly is a genius or a lunatic. Either option is a possibility, but there's a very good chance he could have struck gold. DeMarco Murray, Darren Sproales and Ryan Mathews will run riot against some teams, while QB Sam Bradford could be an intriguing prospect if he stays fit enough to pull the strings regularly. Minnesota are looking increasingly exciting as the season draws near, with some solid additions ready to step up and shock their way to a playoff berth. Bridgewater is already being touted as their next franchise quarterback, and after winning last season's Rookie Of The Year award, it's hard to disagree with the evidence suggesting he could be a great player. Toppling the Eagles might be a step too far, but just grabbing the wild card slot is a signal of intent. Eagles Win
