cmh6476 1,010 Posted January 6 As a season ticket holder I'm trying to sell my divisional round tix, so the market for the tickets would be better if the Broncos or Steelers would find their way to KC. The Chargers don't travel for sh1t. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lost feeling in his hand fot a while. But their passing game is off. WRs I believe lead league in drop rate. Love looks off. Nothing looks in sync in thr passing game. Now Watson out, im not a huge Watson guy, but he stretches the field. Theyve been good vs the run. But I still see Barkley going off. If they force them to pass then its Brown and Smith vs some of the worst CB rooms going at the moment. Not a lot of ways to win unless Hurts sucks coming off thr concussion.

I know as a Lions fan, I didn't wanna face them again, especially in LA. They have struggled to score as of late so there could be something there, but Stafford is dangerous.

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted January 7 interested in everyone's take on Vikings/Rams and Commies/Bucs Which teams win and which of those 4 has the better chance to knock off their potential round 2 opponent? My gut is telling me Rams and Bucs advance ... as much as i'd love to see Daniels make a run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My gut is telling me Rams and Bucs advance ... as much as i'd love to see Daniels make a run. Had Stafford and Darnold in a 2 qb league. Down the stretch the Rams passing game looked like shitt. I think the Vikings D keeps Stafford in check. I think O’Connell makes the necessary adjustments to Darnold and pressure and gets the screen game and Hockenson more involved. Darnold gets in trouble when he tries to force it to Jefferson. See his game vs Jacksonville. 3 int’s all thrown to Jefferson. Did the same the other night. I think KOC fixes him for now.

Stafford has aged in dog years and that D isn’t very good. I think the Vikes bounce back big after getting embarrassed in Detroit. I could absolutely see the Bucs winning though. As an Eagles fan, that would be the ideal outcome assuming Philly wins too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fnord 2,051 Posted January 7 1 hour ago, listen2me 23 said: Since 2014: road favorites in the playoffs are 3-10-2 vs the spread I'm expecting the LA/MIN line to move lower before the game due to recentcy bias. I'm as confident as a Viking fan can ever be (55/45) that they'll beat the Rams. That last Detroit game was just one of those bad "off" days IMO. Detroit had an excellent game plan put together and were playing at home in a crazed environment, Darnold and Jefferson both played terribly, and the defense played well enough to win if the offense wasn't putrid. Vikes probably got outcoached, which doesn't happen as often as it used to. If I was willing to make wagers here, I would probably offer one to @supermike80 that the Vikings will win.

Oh im no where near as confident as mike is. Not confident at all. I just see most all favs winning but doubt they sweep. So went Rams. Nothing too much to do with the Detroit game. Those things can snowball for a couple weeks at a time however. Rams already beat them. Its in LA not that LA is much of any homefield. I think it will probably be a pretty close game.

Agreed, I don't use those services either. We could do a friendly wager, where the loser has to do something for the winner here in the GC, whatever that would be.
