With the NFL postseason upon us, theScore's football editors make seven bold predictions about what will transpire.
James Harrison wins Super Bowl MVP
Harrison's "business" decision to join the Patriots following his highly publicized release from the Steelers rubbed his former teammates the wrong way, but with the 39-year-old linebacker fully rested due to his lack of playing time in the Steel City, he should be ready to produce in the postseason. In Week 17, Harrison made an immediate impact in his first game as a Patriot. The trend will continue with an ageless wonder not named Tom Brady winning Super Bowl LII MVP. - Lucas Casaletto
Rams break postseason scoring record
Sean McVay has transformed the Rams' offense into a juggernaut, and very few defenses have been able to even slow them down. But the young head coach has been saving his best for last. Riding a red-hot Todd Gurley, Los Angeles will exceed the total postseason record of 126 points, set by the 49ers in 1989. - Jack Browne
Bridgewater leads Vikings to victory off the bench
Teddy Bridgewater's return from a crippling knee injury has been nothing short of remarkable. And while Sam Bradford is back at practice, he won't be the one Mike Zimmer turns to when Case Keenum struggles. Instead, Bridgewater will erase all doubts about his remaining abilities and use his opportunity to help the Vikings win. - Dylan Perego
Jaguars shut out Bills, then Steelers
Only the Vikings allowed fewer points during the regular season than the Jaguars' 16.8 per game. Meanwhile, the Bills were the lowest-scoring team to qualify for the playoffs (ranking 22nd in the league), and could be without star running back LeSean McCoy in Jacksonville. Looking ahead to the divisional round, the Jags intercepted Ben Roethlisberger five times in a 30-9 win in their lone meeting this season. A repeat is in store. - Esten McLaren
Foles shines, leads Eagles to Super Bowl
The Philadelphia Eagles, the top seed in the NFC, will likely be underdogs when they host a divisional-round matchup. Such is life after Carson Wentz's season-ending knee injury. Nonetheless, backup Nick Foles will step in and over-perform to ensure the Eagles' remarkable regular season doesn't go to waste, leading Philly all the way to Super Bowl LII. - Michael McClymont
Donald shatters single-playoffs sack record
Aaron Donald's tour-de-force campaign will only gain more momentum during the playoffs. The All-Pro defensive tackle will record eight total sacks, breaking a three-way tie for the most in a single postseason (six) as the Rams continue their ascent as a surprise juggernaut in the making. - Arun Srinivasan
5 HC vacancies are filled by a coordinator coaching in the playoffs
Unless you're a Raiders fan, don't expect your team to fill its head coaching vacancy with someone who's already available. The Eagles, Vikings, Patriots, Panthers, Chiefs, and Steelers currently employ coordinators who are garnering plenty of attention as candidates. And all five teams searching for a new bench boss - not including the Raiders, who reportedly have their sights set on Jon Gruden - will hire a coordinator who's currently coaching in the playoffs. - Mitch Sanderson
