FYP 

Should be a good game either way.  I need to text my aunt that's a huge KC fan and start up the trash talking.

That's what you get when you expand playoffs beyond teams that are worthy.

I think if the chargers had made it along with Seattle it would have been better.

The Chargers were up and down all year.  You never know what you're going to get week to week.  And I know he's dynamic but building your offense around a midget running back isn't a recipe for success.  Seattle was a dumpster fire this year.  No better than having Philly or Pittsburgh make it.  None of them should have.

I’m just talking about better games. There’s no use complaining, it’s here until 2033. The league already got paid.

Who's complaining?  I'm simply pointing out the foreseeable effects of a greedy, stupid change.

Rams looked good last night.   But some of that had to be because of AZ playing like ASS.     You guys should have learned your lessons a long time ago - never doubt Brady/Gronk in January and February. . .

Rams have been hot and cold, as has stafford.  I think they have more firepower than tbb… plus, they are not philly

Bengals
Bills
Packers
Buccaneers

Bills, Titans, Packers, Bucs.   

Chiefs/Bills - best game on the schedule.   

I am probably reading too much into it because of the curb-stomping they put on my Pats.   But of all the games I watched this weekend -  the Bills were the team that gave me "the look" vibe - the look of team that's gonna go on a playoff run.    I've had pretty good luck betting/picking my "the look" team in the playoffs for the last several years.  .  .

I was bouncing back and forth between the Titans/Bengals...

BTW, is this "the look" similar to JustinCharge's system?

I’d like to see the Rams and the Chiefs lose.

O got his first playoff TD. Took him 3 teams to get it too.

It's hard to gauge where the Chiefs are at because the Steelers looked like ass.  It took an entire quarter for anyone to get going, but Ben just doesn't have it any more and was holding his team back.  It's time for him to hang it up.

This game against the Bills is going to be a completely different story.  The Chiefs can't afford to get off on a slow start, and the defense is going to have to play a lot better than they have the last month.  There have been times this year the Chiefs defense has looked very solid, and they are going to need a very strong performance to slow the Bills down.  

[Utilit99 4,099]

Bills would be the easy bet for me if they were in Buffalo for this game. I'll still place a bet on them on the money line, but it won't be an all in wager.

no-one seems to have been consistent so far.  it seemed like every time an AFC team got hot enough to hold the #1 seed, they slumped.  but someone might get hot, sure.

Meh.  Kupp over Evans.  Ill take Tampas TEs over Rams.  I would take Fournette over Akers and Sont although Akers looked good in his return.  Van Jefferson?  Its basically a wash.

I like the rams kupp, obj, van jefferson, akers, michel, higbee over evans, miller, the young wrs, gronk, .... is either fournette or rojo going to play?

 

prefer rams d to tbb d as well

Nah, not that scientific.   It's more of "look for that team that just seems to put it together late in the season and then carries that 'big mo' into the playoffs".    Probably because, as a Pats fan, especially in the last couple of SBs (but surely 2001 team as well) - I saw them play some pretty mediocre football and even think "they ain't even gonna make it to the playoffs this year" and then - November/December arrives, the team puts it together and goes on a run thru the playoffs.    Tampa Bay did it last year.

Odell has topped 54 yards twice with the Rams in 9 games.  Topped 39 yards 3 times.  Sure I will give you he has more talent than thr Bucs players.  But hr is basically just a guy out there. 

Tampa statistically has the better defense including turnovers.  

This has evolved from just weapons talk but Rams also have Stafford.  Who sucks in big game generally and throws a lot of picks.

So.... do we believe that playing scrubs with NOS, CAR, and ATL inflate these numbers?  Do playing AZ, SF, and Sea hurt your defensive numbers?

They do.  

In a need it game at home for thr division they gave up 449 to the 9ers.  Were almost doubled up in yards.  GB had theit way when they played them.

They started Eric Weddle last night.  

Rams have some elite players on defense.  Also a few glaring holes.  

Ill take Tampa on Sunday.

I have all but guaranteed a win for the Niners this weekend.  To those fans, you're welcome.

[TBayXXXVII 2,559]

Well, it's Tampa vs Cinny in the Super Bowl, so we know 2 of the winners this weekend.  The rest is just fodder.

Yeah, but by the time that happens, there'll be two 12-team super conferences made up of 8 SEC teams, 6 Big 10 teams and 10 other teams from random conferences to fill in the gap.  They'll basically be the "Top 25" every year and all 8 or 12 of the playoff teams will come from those two conferences.

I hope you're right.  I'd rather the Bucs to be hosting SF than going to GB.  I mean, either way the Bucs are winning, but it's just nice to have 3 home games this year to even out the 3 road games last year.

Stafford is going to sh!t his panties in TB against that healthy D line.

Has anyone left bama yet to join a potential playoff team in an 8 team format?   I think they are just leaving the lesser contenders like the buckeyes.  It looks to me like an 8 team playoff will just water down teams 2-8 and bama will just have an even bigger advantage.
