Week 13 Playoff Picture: Predictions, in which I pick the Steelers to win the Super Bowl so if you want, you can stop here.

This is based entirely on the current NFL playoff picture as it stands after the Week 13 games.

Seeds:

AFC 1: Kansas City

AFC 2: New England

AFC 3: Houston

AFC 4: Pittsburgh

AFC 5: Los Angeles

AFC 6: Baltimore

NFC 1: Los Angeles

NFC 2: New Orleans

NFC 3: Chicago

NFC 4: Dallas

NFC 5: Seattle

NFC 6: Minnesota

Wild Card round:

AFC 6 Baltimore @ AFC 3 Houston. The Ravens have been all over the place this season, but the Texans overcame a rocky start to become a consistently good team that'll make a statement in its return to the playoffs. HOU 34, BAL 21

AFC 5 Los Angeles @ AFC 4 Pittsburgh. When these teams met in December, the Steelers blew a 16-point halftime lead and let the Chargers have their way with them through a torturous second half. However, this is January, and the Steelers will play much stronger on defense and hold on for a win. PIT 34, LAC 28.

NFC 6 Minnesota @ NFC 3 Chicago. Ah, an NFC North playoff matchup outdoors in January. Gotta love it. The Bears are the more solid team here, and the Vikings are lucky to even make it here. CHI 26, MIN 14

NFC 5 Seattle @ NFC 4 Dallas. I'm sure Dallas would be favored in a game like this, but I have to go with Seattle. They've been far from perfect this year, but so have the Cowboys. SEA 24, DAL 21

Divisional Round:

AFC 3 Houston @ AFC 2 New England. New England and going to the AFC Championship game. Name a better duo, I'll wait. I hate it, but it is what it is. NE 24, HOU 20.

AFC 4 Pittsburgh @ AFC 1 Kansas City. Ah, the playoffs, where Kansas City goes to implode in new and hilarious ways every year. Last year, it involved Marcus Mariota throwing a touchdown pass... to himself. The year before, they lost at home in a game where they didn't allow a the Steelers a single touchdown all night. This'll be the Steelers again, looking to avenge a September loss in a wild game at Heinz Field, and somehow, they'll find a way. It'll involve shutting down Patrick Mahomes from the start, and a strong defensive stand late in the game. PIT 34, KC 28.

NFC 3 Chicago @ NFC 2 New Orleans. The Bears are good, the Saints are great. Gotta go with the Saints at the Superdome. NO 37, CHI 23.

NFC 5 Seattle @ NFC 1 Los Angeles. The Rams won two really competitive games against Seattle this year, 33-31 @ Seattle and 36-31 @ Los Angeles. I'll take them again, and follow the trend. LAR 39, SEA 31.

Conference Championships:

AFC 4 Pittsburgh @ AFC 2 New England. So I've made it come to this. The Steelers, in Foxborough, for another AFC Championship. They haven't won in Gillette since 2008, and haven't beaten the Pats in the playoffs since the 1996 season. It's been a tough road in these playoffs, with revenge games against the Chargers and Chiefs. The Steelers have revenge on their minds once more, for all the times the Patriots have ruined the season. Pittsburgh went to New England 2 years ago for this same game, and got whooped. Not this year. The defense will keep steady pressure on Tom Brady through the game and minimize the threat, and someone will finally figure out how to slow down the rush. Look for Jesse James to make a crucial catch for the Steelers late in the game to help with the win. PIT 31, NE 27

NFC 2 New Orleans @ NFC 1 Los Angeles: The Saints ended up with a 10 point win in a wild game in New Orleans earlier in the season. This one will be another shootout, but this game isn't in the Superdome, but in whose house? (Rams' House!). The city of stars will shine brightly, and the Rams will be making their first Super Bowl appearance since the Greatest Show on Turf days in St. Louis. LAR 46, NO 42.

Super Bowl LIII, Atlanta, GA:
