The first game the duo predicted was the Las Vegas Raiders vs Cincinnati Bengals. At the end of the regular season, Cincinnati was not necessarily the favorite to win this game. However, Madden picked the Bengals and asked Flair to make his prediction. Ric said“Bengals, all day long.” He adds, “I love Joe Burrow, and I’m so happy he came back from that knee injury.” Both agreed and moved on to the next game. The Bills were the favorites, walking into the wild card game against the Patriots. Madden and the Nature Boy agreed with the fans and picked the Buffalo Bills. 

The last AFC game the duo predicted was the Steelers vs the Chiefs. For this game, they agreed with Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers are the underdog, but they will have a hard time conquering the Chiefs. Flair said“Sentimentally, I feel the same way about Ben [Roethlisberger], But I don’t think that they can beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead.”
