2019 NFL predictions: How will the AFC shake out?

1. Indianapolis 13-3: First Round Bye
2. Kansas City 12-4: First Round Bye
3. New England 11-5
4. Cleveland Browns 10-6
5. Los Angeles Chargers 11-5
6. Houston Texans 11-5

This year, the NFL playoffs would still see five of the six teams that made the playoffs a season ago. The new team to the mix would be the Browns winning the AFC North instead of the Baltimore Ravens, who fall completely out of the playoff contention.

Wildcard weekend would showcase the third-seeded New England at home against the six seed Houston Texans. The Patriots do well at home come playoff time and take the win in Foxborough. The other wildcard game would feature the number four seed Browns at the number five seed Chargers. The Chargers are a more solid team all-around and win on the road in Cleveland.

This would set up for the Divisional round between the number one seed Colts at home against the number five seed Chargers and also the number two Chiefs at home against the number three seed Patriots. The Chargers and Patriots both come out both victorious in the divisional round, winning their games on the road.

The AFC championship game would set up to be the Patriots at home against the Chargers. The Chargers I believe will end their drought and make it to the Super Bowl this season and represent the AFC.

Stay tuned to see who the Chargers will battle in the Super Bowl when I make my NFC division and playoff predictions.
