Parsons finished with 30 tackles, 12 sacks and two forced fumbles.<\/p>\n<p>But getting to the\u00a0quarterback\u00a0isn&#8217;t the only thing Parsons is good at. He is also good at predicting upsets in the NFL playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>On the latest episode of &#8220;The Edge with Micah Parsons,&#8221; the Cowboys star made his pick for each Divisional Round game. Parsons notably predicted the\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0to defeat the\u00a0Detroit Lions, which was an unpopular selection.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Divisional Round games&#8230; Commanders vs. Lions,&#8221; Parsons said. &#8220;I just can&#8217;t bet against Jayden Daniels. I&#8217;m going to go Commanders.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The defender was clearly proud of his pick and made a separate post to showcase it after the Commanders pulled off the upset.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Lol I heard I was delusional all week!
