Aston Villa, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion have already booked their spots in the Championship play offs.
Sherwood, who used to manage Villa, has been impressed by the performances that his former club have put in of late.
Dean Smith’s side recently won 10 games in a row to confirm their place in the play offs, alongside both Leeds and West Brom.
It seems that Villa and West Brom will end up meeting in the play off semi-final, and Sherwood feels that contest could be huge.
He said: “I’ll go Villa, my old club [to win the play offs]. The rivalry between Villa and West Brom is huge. I manage to manage in a couple of those myself, it is massive. Those two matches are huge.”
Villa and Leeds met at the weekend in a sneak preview of what could be a potential play off final, and the pair played out a controversial 1-1 draw.
The contest at Elland Road had a bit of everything, as Villa and Leeds shared the points.
The final spot in the play offs is still up for grabs, with Frank Lampard’s Derby County looking like the most likely team to take it.
The Rams have two games remaining this season, against Swansea City and West Brom.
