Hopefully this helps some people keep up to date with it all. I made this to be as "noob-friendly" as possible. If I made a mistake somewhere, please point it out and I'll try to fix it as fast as I can. I'll be updating this every time there's news to present.
I made this thread from scratch, based it off no template or anything, however the stats I provide come from NFL.com.
Who do you guys think will be in the Super Bowl? Who do you think will win?

My opinion
Wildcard
Considering Jamaal Charles just left the game, I'm giving the first win to Indy. Kansas City is a very good team, but without their best player, it's going to be rough to try to outscore the Indianapolis offense.
I think that Phillip Rivers goes into Cincinnati and pulls off the upset. Phillip Rivers has had an awesome season, leading in completion percentage at 70.8%. Andy Dalton is 0-2 in the playoffs. Granted, both of those games were at Houston, I think that Rivers finds a way.
With Aaron Rodgers back, the Green Bay offense will finally be back to full swing. But it won't be enough to beat the 49ers. The Packers got in with 8 wins, and going up against arguably the best defense in the game, need I say more?
Drew Brees is arguably the best QB in the NFL right now. He consistently finds ways to lead his team to great places. Except in the cold and on the road. News flash: they're playing in both. Philly wins.
Divisionals
Denver edges out San Diego. Peyton can't play in the cold OR playoffs, but that won't stop his great WRs from making great plays.
New England beats Indy in the playoffs. Tom Brady has proven this season that no matter the talent around him, as long as he's playing his team has a chance to win it all.
Carolina takes a leap this year, and beats the Eagles. Sorry Philly Fans, but the best defense in the NFL will take apart any chance the Eagles have in this one.
Seattle beats SF. This isn't about post-season experience. If it was, SF would easily be my pick. The Seahawks are the best overall team in the NFC, and unfortunately for 9ers fans, they're in the way.
Conference.
New England tops Denver. Simply put, my opinion will always be Brady>Manning. New England overcame insurmountable odds when they played them in the regular season, completing the greatest comeback in the history of the Patriots franchise. This time, it won't be a comeback. New England will attack early; something we haven't seen all season long.
You could literally flip a coin for the Seattle/Carolina match up, and the coin wouldn't know which way to go. I think Seattle wins this game by less than a field goal. This will be game of the year for sure.
Super Bowl XLVIII
Seattle wins. Brady has more rings than the Seahawks franchise as a whole, but his last win in the big one was over a decade ago. Since then, he's 0-2 in the big one. Considering the lack of defense the Patriots have, Seattle will be able to win.

Updated thread. Would have done it sooner but I was sick and didn't feel like doing anything.
