It is redemption time for the Serby Crystal Ball as the NFL playoffs are upon us. The preseason predictions mean nothing now, and the TSCB (The Serby Crystal Ball) hopes and prays that nobody will Google them.
The Road to Santa Clara and Super Bowl 2026 on Feb. 8 at Levi’s Stadium has come into clear focus:
Wild-card round
Saturday
Rams 27, Panthers 14
Bryce Young’s plan to have Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard “Keep Pounding” keeps Matthew Stafford on the sideline early, and Davante Adams is somewhat limited by his balky hamstring as Bank of America Stadium tries to will its double-digit underdogs to the upset. A Jaycee Horn interception sets up a Young TD pass to Tetairoa McMillan, but with no pressure from anyone other than Derrick Brown, Stafford begins playing pitch and catch with Puka Nacua, and then Jared Verse and Kobie Turner bring the heat on a rattled Young.
