Schwartz predicted Indiana would blow out Miami to win the national title, said Fernando Mendoza would be the No. 1 overall pick (with the Raiders getting him), and picked the Rams, Packers, Jaguars and Texans on wild card weekend while ranking Jacksonville as his AFC champion and the Rams as the top remaining Super Bowl contender.

But again, Indiana is going, I think to throttle Miami and it's gonna be a story that we've never seen before.

  • Fernando Mendoza to be picked at number 1

    I Mendos are very clear it's going to one overall idea... So how attractive is the Raiders job if you know you're getting Mendoza?

  • Houston Texans to win

    But I think Houston's much better... It's not a good matchup for Pittsburgh at all.

    Rams, Jaguars, Eagles, Bills. Okay, I think that's I think that's how it stacked them up. And then maybe Texans after that, five Texans

  • Green Bay Packers to win

    I'm just fading the Bears sort of being here in the position they are with a defense that's basically relying on turnovers only.

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Los Angeles Rams to win

    So, I mean it's a very tall task for Carolina to win, and I would expect the Rams to handle the business. Handle their business today

    Not settled yet. This is graded once the season it describes has finished.

  • Jacksonville Jaguars to reach the Super Bowl

    Of the team's playing this weekend I think Johnson's winning the AFC

  • Probably mister fancy my number one candidate. Probably probably Stefani we number one candidate... Probably Harbaugh too
