Everyone loves talking about quarterbacks and even more, assigning takes to quarterbacks. Welcome to the Quarterback Confidence Index, where we'll take the pulse of the QBs who man the current playoff teams. A 10 means you’re Patrick Mahomes or God or something like that. A lower score means there’s less confidence. Easy, right? Here’s how confident playoff teams, ordered by seed, should be in their quarterbacks to lead a deep run and potentially win a Super Bowl title.
NFC
Philadelphia Eagles
Jalen Hurts — 7.5/10
Hurts has been to the playoffs before and is putting up an MVP-level campaign this year, but it’s fair to wonder how this offense will fare in the postseason. Still, there is the added fact that this offense functions as well as it does because Hurts has been as good as he has been this season. There should be a lot of confidence in Hurts and the Eagles' offense as far as the playoffs are concerned, but they still need to do it.
Minnesota Vikings
Kirk Cousins — 6.5/10
If Cousins can keep throwing to Justin Jefferson, the Vikings might win the damn Super Bowl. However, Kirk Cousins is prone to his Kirk Cousins moments that can sink the whole ship if the talent around him isn’t up to par. So far, it has been, but Cousins’ track record is a bit hard to get behind. Still, he’s not the worst quarterback in the world and can go through stretches of high quality play.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
