Top 2023 NFL playoff predictions
One of the NFL playoff bracket predictions from the model: It says the 49ers only have a 25.4% chance of winning the 2023 Super Bowl, the third-lowest percentage of the teams remaining in the field. The 49ers can make an argument that they have the top roster in the NFL, but injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo have left them on their third-string quarterback. While Brock Purdy acquitted himself in five regular-season games as a starter and the team's wild-card win over the Seahawks, he was humbled against the Cowboys during the NFL divisional round.
Now, Purdy will take on another elite defense in the Eagles, who ranked eighth in points allowed and second in yards allowed. Even if Purdy can find a way to sneak past MVP candidate Jalen Hurts and into the Super Bowl, either Patrick Mahomes or Joe Burrow will be waiting and the quarterback matchup would favor the AFC team in either scenario. Mahomes already torched San Francisco's defense for 423 yards and three touchdowns in Week 7. See which teams to back right here.
