First week of playoffs had two decent games and 4 stinkers. Rams, Bucs, Bills and Chiefs all blew out their opponents. I did like the new format with the Monday night game. Would have liked to see a more competitive contest but it was cool to have a third day of football.

Raiders @ Bengals.... should be a close game but I'm betting on Cincinnati
Patriots @ Bill ....this ought to be a very exciting game, too close to call but I'll be cheering for Buffalo
Eagles @ Bucs......one would think this should be a gimmie for Tampa Bay
49ers @ Cowboys.....can't wait to watch this one, I'll have to say San Fran just because they have been playing quite well lately.
Steelers @ Chiefs....once again this should be an easy call as Patrick Mahomes is on top of his game.
Cardinals @ Rams...this will be a barn burner and another hard one to predict, but I still think Arizona is on a downwards spin.
I picked all 6 games correctly :grin: only because I didn't have any bets on them.

Next week is looking exciting, as we have some great football coming up.

Saturday
Bengals @ Titans ......one would think the Titans, but Joe Burrows is playing so good I have to say Cincinnati
49ers @ Packers.....I like the 49ers but Aaron Rodgers and the boys will prevail

Sunday
Rams @ Bucs....got to go with the GOAT on this one
Bills @ Chiefs...looking forward to this game as it should be the game of the week....Josh Allen vs Patrick Mahomes, it's a flip of the coin but I'm going out on a limb and picking Buffalo but will likely regret it.

2 days away, Thursday night kicks it off. My bears are going to get stomped by the Rams.

I like Tampa and Buffalo and The rams.
Going back to the start of your thread, that was a pretty good prediction on Rams, Buffalo and Tampa. All three look good going into the 2nd round of the playoffs.
Your Bears are like our Lions, rebuild mode. Hopefully you guys have a long term QB in Fields. I detest OSU but thought he was a good pick in the 2021 draft. Having to start over with a new coach and GM is not always a good thing for a young QB though.

Draft is approaching, which is like the Super Bowl for shitty teams like the Lions.
This regime feels different though, Holmes seems to have a draft plan that isn’t “best player available” or “Patriot way” or whatever the hell it was that Millen was going for…
Dan Campbell has won over the media, fans and team even with cruddy record. “Truth serum Dan” is an exceedingly entertaining interview on the radio.
Even Glenn is getting HC interviews after his work with a bunch of scrap heap castoffs and UDAs on defense. The defense was statistically terrible but kept the team in more games than it should have.

Wait a minute
I thought we all agreed to never mention Millen ever again :lol:
I hear ya but we won’t get a quarterback for at least two years given the current draft class

Unreal game, didn't think the Bengals were going to pull it off, as it looked like Tennessee was on the rebound.

The Titan defence were pounding Joe Burrows like a rubber fuck doll.....sacked him 5 times in the first half and 4 more in the second half....holy crap batman, that's got to hurt.

He’s a great young QB but he gets hit way too much. Bengals will need to get better O-line play. That was a really fun game to watch.

Well, can’t say I’m very sad to see GB and Rodgers out of the playoffs. Waiting to see if he says something inflammatory and/or cryptic about his future, maybe some more of that beautiful mystery BS he shoveled last offseason. Tough way to end the season for GB fans but as a Lions fan my sympathy is very, very limited. Gould was money on that kick.
