NFL Playoff Scenarios: Packers vs. Patriots Super Bowl Is a Virtual Lock

The Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots are on a collision course to meet in the Super Bowl.

These two offensive juggernauts are steamrolling their competition and are both going to be No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences.

New England has a little more work to do to get that top seed, as it currently shares a 10-3 record with Baltimore and Houston, but it has the easiest upcoming schedule and should win out.

With a bye-week to get healthy and prepare their defenses, as well as home-field advantage, the two teams have nearly every advantage stacked in their favor on their road to the championship.

Who’s going to stop them?

In the AFC, the Pats will likely be facing the Broncos, Steelers, Jets or Texans.

Barring a huge upset, the Patriots would advance to take on the Ravens, the other great team in the conference and one that has given them trouble over the years because of their intense defense.

Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and the rest of the team will avenge their postseason disappointments in the championship game by beating Baltimore and get another crack at winning their first Super Bowl since 2004.

They’ll meet up with Aaron Rodgers and company in Indianapolis, after the Packers cruise through the playoffs.

Seriously, who has a chance against them?

Not the 49ers, Giants, Falcons or Lions, that’s for sure.

The only team that would possibly give them fits are the Saints, who the Pack played close in Week 1 and were a goal-line stand away from actually losing to.

So barring some big upset, we are going to see a Patriots vs. Packers Super Bowl in 2012 and it may be one of the highest-scoring ever.

I won’t speculate on who will win just yet, but I do know it very well could go down as one of the best games ever played.
