Next Up: Wild-Card Bye

We using this as the official gameday thread to discuss the games I assume?

Anyhow my official picks...

Texans over Browns: I like the idea of playing Joe too but I'm sticking to the fact Cleveland beat a Texans team without Stroud and Will Anderson. Both players will make a major difference on each side of the ball and Houston comes to Baltimore in the Divisional Round.

Chiefs over Dolphins: The weather will neutralize things for Miami and help keep the game close. If Miami gets both Waddle and Mostert back, they will have a shot at winning. Do I think they win? No. Chiefs advance to the divisional round and Tua exits the playoffs with likely a big contract waiting for him in the offseason.

Bills over Steelers: The one thing about backup quarterbacks playing well, eventually they come crashing back down to earth. We seen it with Dobbs and Jake Browning and this is where it ends for Mason Rudolph. Chiefs head to Buffalo in the Divisional Round.

Cowboys over Packers: Just like the Orioles, the Packers are too young and inexperienced for the playoffs and the Cowboys home record improves as Mike McCarthy beats his old team.

Rams over Lions: I debated on the Lions here but again I'll go with the experience over the unexperienced and Rams win. Rams head to SF in the divisional round.

Bucs over Eagles: Ever since Matt Patricia took over the Eagles defense, things have not gone well for Philadelphia's defense. The Eagles are reeling, and the Bucs are going to take advantage as Baker Mayfield once again wins on the road in the playoffs and Tampa heads to Dallas.

gameday thread in the usual spot

 
if they're not gonna use him in a dead rubber game at the end of the season then they're not gonna use him in the playoffs
not sure why he's still on the roster regardless
Guessing there’s no need now but if Mark, Duv, Ar’Darius need a spot then Gordon is one of the first to go.
 
I want the Steelers to lose. Heck, I want them to get crushed.

But if it's a weather game. It gives them a chance. Then you're a Allen hero-ball mistake away from an upset.
I have mixed feelings about this and the Browns game. I would love to be the team that knocks either the Steelers or the Browns out of the playoffs, but I also can't stand these teams. I'm in a predicament.

It's gotten to the point where I like NOBODY. It's gonna be a kick back weekend chilling with some Shiner Bock's and let the chips fall where they may. My prediction is we'll be playing a much improved Texans team.

I think I want the Steelers to win, and the weather might help with that, because the Bills are a scarier match up for us.

I'd back us to beat any team in the AFC 7 or 8 times out of 10, but Allen and Mahomes (maybe even Stroud) have the possibilty to play a great game and if Lamar isn't quite as his best that day, it could be fatal.
 
So we'll have to wait another day to find out who we play


Wow that’s fucking whack. I genuinely wanted to see how both teams handled those elements lol

i heard it may be blizzard like conditions. That would be very difficult to play in and difficult to see the field for the viewers.
 


Sunday, Jan. 21

TBD vs. TBD, 3 p.m. ET

TBD vs. TBD, 6:30 p.m. ET

Divisional round notes: The 49ers will be playing the worst remaining seed in the NFC divisional round while the Ravens will face the worst remaining seed in the AFC. Also, the winner of the Monday night game will get to play on Sunday in the divisional round.


Now that the Bills / Steelers are on Monday also, it's quite possible the Ravens game is locked in on a Sunday
