Only eight teams remain in the 2020 NFL Playoffs entering the divisional round, and the Ravens, who've won 12 consecutive games, are the favorites to lift the Lombardi Trophy at 2-1. They're followed by the 49ers (7-2), Chiefs (7-2), Packers (7-1), Seahawks (12-1) and Vikings (18-1). Both the Texans and Titans enter the divisional round as 30-1 long shots to win it all. Before you make any NFL playoff picks and Super Bowl 54 predictions, you NEED to see what our unbiased computer model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NFL game 10,000 times and is up over $7,000 for $100 players on its top-rated NFL picks since its inception four-plus years ago.

It has nailed its recent top-rated NFL picks, entering the divisional round in the 2020 NFL Playoffs on a strong 34-22 run that dates back to last season. It's also on an incredible 96-65 roll on top-rated NFL picks that dates back to the 2017 season, Last season, the model also ranked in the Top 10 on NFLPickWatch for the third year in a row on straight-up NFL picks and beat more than 96 percent of CBS Sports office pool players. Anyone who has followed it is WAY UP.

We can tell you the model isn't high on Green Bay's chance of winning it all despite the Packers' impressive season. Green Bay has won eight of its last 10 games, but the Packers win it all in just 6.8 percent of simulations, a much lower number than the Packers' odds imply, so they're a team to fade in the 2020 NFL Playoffs.

Instead, the model is all over a playoff team that is a strong value to win it all, saying it brings home the title more frequently than its Vegas odds imply. You NEED to see these projections before locking in any NFL Playoff picks of your own.
