Round 1 Picks In: CAR or SD vs PIT in SB!

This will be the final pre-season prediction until the draft is done.

Based on 20 seasons of a computer-generated schedule, it looks like the Panthers and Chargers will face each other in the AFC Championship game. The Steelers could be facing division rival Giants in the NFC Championship. Both CAR and SD have the edge over PIT in the SB.
