NFL playoff predictions: Super Bowl champion, MVP, wild-card weekend winners and more

It’s the first full week of January. Fourteen teams are left standing.

By the evening of Feb. 9, there will be just one.

Our Yahoo Sports NFL staff predicted the winner of every single playoff matchup, with three writers believing the Kansas City Chiefs will become the first team in NFL history to win three straight Super Bowls, and two others united another AFC team they think will end the Chiefs’ reign.

In the NFC, just two writers think the Detroit Lions will reach their long-awaited Super Bowl, with the three others picking a team that’s been nipping at Detroit’s heels all season.

As for wild-card weekend, all five writers picked the same AFC winners, while there were no unanimous predictions in any of the NFC games. In fact, two writers have the same team the other three picked to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl as being knocked out this weekend. Let’s hope that kind of unpredictable drama unfolds when the ball is kicked.

Without further ado, here are our playoff and Super Bowl LIX picks.
