I smell one or two upsets. It won't be as clear cut as home team win

Closest one that I would go out on a limb would be Bal over buff

Can’t see Philly , KC , or det laying the egg, but I’m pulling for Buff to beat bal..want to see Josh vs Detroit in the bowl

[49erRCCollector]

If Baltimore can't at least get to the big game with Lamar, Henry and some stars on D and all that... I don't know when it will happen.

KC team hasnt played for 2 weeks now, There's a thing called rust and too much rest, we'll never know. Texans D is amazing too, their offense though

[Siberian13]

I want Buffalo/KC and Detroit/LA. Think it will be KC/Baltimore and Detroit/Philly. Really want Buffalo/Detroit final but doubt I’ll get my wish.

The bills better figure out how to stop the run.

So Darnold costed vikings the 1 seed and their season in subsequent week. Hard to think worse 2 week stretch for QB not involving injuries

I wasn’t able to watch the whole game but 9 sacks? Were they on him or was it the Oline? That’s Joe Burrow playoff level

[Floridacardguy]

My heart tells me Texans, my head tells me KC, if it was in Houston the Texans may have a chance

Lions over Commanders

Eagles over Rams

Ravens over Bills

Welcome back, Bills smoked your bronkies

Yeah but I got some relief watching the Commanders smack down the Bucs in Tampa. Broncos were forecasted to be like 8&8 or less, so making the playoff is BIG. If a Blue Chip like Herbert can look like an amateur and get beat down by the Texans, there's certainly hope for Nix.
Broncos will be contenders for the next decade. God forbid they get a running back

Commanders/Lions poop game of the week.

[Bosoxfan5990]

Road to 17-0 marches on this week.

[Floridacardguy]

I mean you predicted Nix to outplay Allen before the game

NOPE, I didn't go back and look. I SAID if Bo Nix runs wild with his feet, and Allen was held in check from running, then the Broncos could win.
You can NOT win a playoff game with no RBs, not even a hint of a running game. That turned out to be the real difference. Broncos address it this off season, and maybe we get a re do next season. Bo Nix led this team in rushing Sunday. Meanwhile, Cook- an actual RB had 120 yards and a TD

[Floridacardguy]

I mean you predicted Nix to outplay Allen before the game

Also, the Broncos beat the Bills deep out of the gate for a TD, and then never ever try it again the whole game. WHY NOT? I didn't understand the play calls- the lack of deep shots, or the resistance to try and run- bad RBs or not

Honestly this weeks slate just feels meh. Maybe the Bills/Ravens game will be interesting. I’ll cheer on Jayden but the Lions are going to dog walk the Commanders. The Chiefs game will be rife with bad calls. Eagles are going to crap the bed against the Rams.

Hopefully the games are more competitive than the WC round.

[2010GBPackers]

HOU < KC - The Texans would have a chance if their offense showed any signs of life recently, but they haven't.


WASH < DET - High scoring, but Detroit will throttle the C'mders D. Wash won't be able to keep up.


LAR > PHI - The Rams are for real. They're the only team who could keep up in a shootout with Detroit.


BAL > BUF - This sucks for Josh Allen to do so much this season and not even get to the AFCCG, but the NFL is a tough business. LJack + King Henry is an unstoppable force. If they win this weekend, they'll roll to the SB and finally be crowned Champs.

[2dueces]

Matt Milano is coming back to form

First game against the Ravens
Milano IR
Miller suspension
Bernard out
Johnson out
Josh Allen broken left hand
Ravens home field

For the first time in 3 seasons the Bills are
healthy in the playoffs.
It will be a much different defense this time
but the Ravens are a tough out for anyone
Still I like the Bills chances this time around

[Derekbauer]

Chiefs - I think this game will be closer than most think but ultimately the Chiefs defense is just too good for the Texans offense with all of their injuries at WR

Ravens - Hoping this game is an all time classic. I think this may finally be Lamar’s year to breakthrough to the SB

Lions - They’re just too good at home. Daniels has been great and I think he plays well but the Motor City is hosting the NFCCG

Eagles - Rams were impressive last night but the Eagles defense is playing lights out. Hurts will have his legs back under him and Barkley is still in mid season form.

[mjekase]

LAR > PHI - The Rams are for real. They're the only team who could keep up in a shootout with Detroit.

The most points the Rams have scored the past month is 25, and that was with Garoppolo starting. The three weeks prior: 13, 19, 12. Then 20 last night, at home, when they didn't crack 300 total yards of offense.

You think the Rams are the only team than can keep up in a shootout with the Lions?

The Rams @ Eagles will be an interesting matchup. This will be their second meeting this year. Eagles beat them in SoFi on November 24, 2024, by a final score of 37-20. Barkley set the Eagles franchise record with 255 yards rushing in that game.

This time, they are going to be outside at Lincoln Financial Field. Current forecast for Sunday in Philadelphia is a mix of rain and snow, high temperature in the 30s.

As a younger man, I'd get so worked up and tense about the upcoming games, especially in the playoffs. I'd be on cloud nine when the Eagles won, and super bent out of shape when the Eagles lost.

Now that I'm a bit older, it's nice to be able to watch the games and not get too high or low. If they win, great, if not, the sun will still rise tomorrow. I have no control over what takes place on the field, so why get worked up about it?

Good luck to everyone's favorite teams out there. Let's hope for good games, no major injuries, and may the outcomes be decided by the play on the field and not the referees. :)!

-Top notch coaching
-SB Experienced QB
-Multiple offensive playmaking threats
-Defense playing it's best right now...

The Rams have the ability to beat any team in the NFL on any given Sunday. It's just that I don't think they can do it in the cold weather in Philly. If the Rams were headed to Detroit to play indoors this week, I'd be on upset alert.

Chiefs win easy vs Houston. Maybe not a blowout, but not expecting it to be particularly close late.

Lions just too much for Washington.

Bills and Ravens is a toss up. We know what both offenses can do, but which defense can keep it together?

For me, I don’t believe in Hurts. If Barkley goes off, Eagles win. If not, Rams win. I think the Rams defense has improved throughout the season and has become an elite group. I just don’t see the Eagles winning.

[mjekase]

I like the Rams D a lot. The main advantage I think the Eagles have is the fact they've barely had to travel since that last game at SoFi (both road games were train rides), in addition to them having an informal bye in week 18. That O-Line could really just take over in the second half.

[LCM1223]

The biggest game of the year will be the SB.

Thanks Captain O. But are we there yet?

[JeremyNick]

I have to be Captain O because you are asking simple questions and making wild statements.

The biggest game next week will be the one the eventual SB champs win. The biggest game of the year is the SB. The SB is 2/92025 and today is 1/14/2025 so we are not yet at the biggest game of the year.

Please, the clear premier matchup on paper is Bills Ravens and its not even close and that's clearly what he was saying. They put the Refs on the Sat early game which is the worst spot tv wise.

You also said the broncos would roll the chiefs. You’re exact words if you haven’t edited your posts yet

Chiefs
Lions
Eagles
Ravens

Ravens/Bills is a true toss up, anyone saying that’s an upset isn’t being realistic. Especially because the ravens are now the gambling favorites.

Someone will lose between the top 3 of chiefs lions eagles. I’d like it to be the chiefs, but I’m worried it’s the eagles

Snow games are the best.

Feel like a snow game would give a big advantage to Philly right?

[MyckKabongo]

Jayden Daniels can put big numbers on the scoreboard. If the Lions D doesn't have its stuff together he can put his team in position where the D just needs to make a few key plays to steal a W. That's my upset special.

Chiefs are a lock. Eagles pretty safe bet too. Ravens/Bills is like 45/55.

[21Pittsburgh58]

Nothing like having the Saturday games on ABC/Fox and Sunday's games on Peacock and Paramount+

I have Peacock but will get Paramount+ for Landman and the Bills/Ravens

KC - I hope I'm wrong
Phil - Meh either way
Det - Absolutely rooting for Det
Buffalo - I'll never want the Ravens to win (unless it somehow benefits the Steelers), but I have mad respect for the franchise

Yesterday he was officially listed on the injury report as "doubtful."

Don't think today's official injury report is out yet, but read a Yahoo Sports article this morning that said he is not expected to play.

Hopefully with their game being Sunday night, he can go ... by luck he has to longest amount of time to recuperate before his team's game's kickoff...

If you are going to touch Patty better make sure the hit is worth it because any kind of touch on him is going to draw a flag.

Yeah, the idiots don't understand that.

I can post 4+ examples of worse holds by the KC DBs on AJ and Devonta and Goedert but then they'll just have some other excuse why it's okay.

It's funny how defensive they are about it though! :D

Every NFL coach would have said you can't decide the SB on that nothing play [save Reid].

I'm surprised refs disnt call that roughing the toe on Mahomes. 3rd and long. Get better refs. I guess it's 3 points already so they let it slip

[gomiamigo]

Def maxing KC futures [even more] seeing these calls already. No way Roger lets Goff or Hurts beat their golden child.

[patchgenie]

No flag?! They brushed his shoe for the love of god!

was surprised the refs didn't call it

[Delta5]

Anyone have a clip of the bogus roughing call? Was late to the tv

I'm sure it will be on reddit

[Scottish Punk]

Texans will be ok if they keep KC taking FGs. That is 8 points saved so far.

Refs are in no hurry, plenty of time to make more KC biased calls, after all its only Q1.

Might want to hold off on that. They might struggle against this Texans. Not seeing playoff patty this yr

Think the Texans have to get 7 and get a lead. That would be huge because they get the ball first after half

[gomiamigo]

The really sad thing about the fake call in the Eagles SB was that Jalen woulda had 1:50 left to go for the game-winning TD, or tying FG leading to OT, which everyone not working for KC wanted to see that attempt happen [except Goodell].

[Floridacardguy]

This Hutchinson guy has dropped 2

[Floridacardguy]

The O line finally failed only a matter of time

[Boo]

This Hutchinson guy has dropped 2

That was behind him:doh:

[BGT Masters]

That was behind him:doh:

Obviously he ran the route too fast.

[Siberian13]

Always a back breaker

[Boo]

Always a back breaker

Everybody inside:doh:

[Delta5]

down go mahomies

[Floridacardguy]

Anderson came to play

[Boo]

Texans D playing well

[Onepocketj]

Anderson is so good

[Delta5]

Refs might need to step up soon

[Boo]

Anderson is so good

He’s got a couple more big plays in this game

[Siberian13]

Anderson is awesome.

[Floridacardguy]

2023 Stroud

[Fenway55]

CJ Stroud delivering some spice on that hit. :eek:

[Onepocketj]

Texans offense definitely looking better so far

[Floridacardguy]

O Line damn you

[Boo]

Ugly:doh:

[Fenway55]

That was a nice fumble recovery by Shaq Mason. I guess he figured it was the least he could do since he didn't bother blocking anyone. Reminds me of Super Bowl 52 but don't get me started there.

Missed FG, still 6-3.

[JWBlue]

Ugliest FG try....ever.

[KhalDrogo]

What is Ryan thinking going for a 55 yarder in this weather?

[Scottish Punk]

Probably should have punted. Out of the kickers range when factoring weather.

[Siberian13]

Probably should have punted. Out of the kickers range when factoring weather.

Truth

[JohnnyHatesJazz]

Yup the young hybrid quarterbacks on 3rd downs against spags. Not a good combo.

[Floridacardguy]

Refs strike again

[Fenway55]

He didn't survive the ground.

[NYBBFAN]

Huh I thought the Chiefs got all the calls

[JWBlue]

Looked like a catch.

[Scottish Punk]

Incomplete

[pinnacle06]

lol nice tackling….

[gregr2]

How is he that open?

Can't blame the refs for those missed tackles

[Fenway55]

Even the refs have limits regarding how much they help the Chiefs. They can only give KC free penalties (and ignore the KC penalties). They can't call an obvious drop a catch.

[Floridacardguy]

I blame them for not calling offsides on the FG

[pinnacle06]

That wasn’t a close call……

[Kingofkings1281]

That field goal attempt is one of the stupidest decisions I’ve seen made this year.

[Kingofkings1281]

Chiefs got screwed again!

[PeteD]

Looked like a catch.

yeah his knee was down...didn't matter tho.

[JWBlue]

That field goal attempt is one of the stupidest decisions I’ve seen made this year.

I said before the game this was a coaching mismatch. Well...there it is.

Especially with the Texans D playing well.

[Onepocketj]

Nice throw

[JWBlue]

Crazy how Stroud can look like an All-Pro one play and awful the next.

[Floridacardguy]

Nice throw

Money throw

[Floridacardguy]

CJ has to get out of that pocket it collapses too often

[Boo]

CJ has to get out of that pocket it collapses too often

He missed the RB:doh:

[gomiamigo]

No struggle no matter Roger won't let them lose this game for the next week's ratings alone.

Esp when the HOU player came out of the play with the ball, lol, KC fans so triggered by reality.

[Floridacardguy]

Great game by the Texans the D came to play. Offense needs a TD on this opening drive

[Onepocketj]

I can't imagine how miserable people must be watching games with you.

[Scottish Punk]

Considering the short fields KC has had most of the half. Down only a score isn't bad. Could tie it right up on opening drive. For, KC being up while working out your rust is a positive for them.

Yeah, both teams can see this score as a positive at halftime

[49ersSF]

One thing you learn as a 49ers fan is that the Chiefs in the 2nd half are a far better team that they are in the first half.

[Onepocketj]

One thing you learn as a 49ers fan is that the Chiefs in the 2nd half are a far better team that they are in the first half.

I think most teams have come to that realization. Usually they're even more dangerous when they're down coming out at halftime.

[Floridacardguy]

Texans need to take a shot down field. They are grinding out a good game but need to take a shot

[49ersSF]

The Texans are doing an amazing job at controlling the time of possession.

However, they need to see the endzone if they are going to win. Field Goals are not going to cut it.

[Zauron]

Texans playing really well, I figured this would be a closer game than people thought

[JWBlue]

Clear offensive PI.

[Stifle]

Clear offensive PI.

Even so but 6 for 63 to 1 for 5 ?

[BGT Masters]

Had first down. Now penalty after being marked short. Uphill climb for them Texans. Ouch.

[texmcpherson]

Wouldn’t expect anything less

[Floridacardguy]

The flags are definitely all going in one direction- ‘coincidentally’
Why didn’t they challenge the spot?

[Fenway55]

I'll let you good folks figure out which is KC and which is Houston.

EDIT: FCG beat me to the punch with his post right above mine :D :D

Amazing Houston putting up a drive and the refs won't allow it. How ironic.

Don’t even try to camouflage it anymore

[49ersSF]

CJ is really showing heart in this one.

[NYBBFAN]

Solid run there

[texmcpherson]

Mixon said eff them refs

[Siberian13]

There we go!!!

[JWBlue]

Goodness.

[NYBBFAN]

LMAOOOO dang can’t even tie it

[Siberian13]

Missed it. Ouch

[Onepocketj]

Oh Texans...

[Floridacardguy]

Aren’t they at the other end? Wind shouldn’t be going the same way

[Bars and Bar]

Fairbairn did the same thing week 16

[Zauron]

Fairbairn keeps pushing it to the right, thats rough

[cdub6238]

Cant make this crap up...

[texmcpherson]

Doing his Cody Parkey impression?

[Scottish Punk]

Hell of a drive, 10 minutes off the clock.

[Bars and Bar]

Defense should be well rested for this drive

[Floridacardguy]

Fairbairn keeps pushing it to the right, thats rough

The wind is taking it too

[KhalDrogo]

Does Spags want to do anything different?

[Floridacardguy]

This is a big drive for the D. No points would be a victory but even holding them to 3 would be a win

[chompie99]

Even the refs have limits regarding how much they help the Chiefs. They can only give KC free penalties (and ignore the KC penalties). They can't call an obvious drop a catch.

But they did a good job making Fairbairn miss that extra point.

[JWBlue]

That first FG miss which should never have been attempted probably got in Fairbairn's head.

[KhalDrogo]

Clark and Swift? Gross.

[49ersSF]

The wind is taking it too

The wind had nothing to do with the last one. There was no movement at all on the wind flag on the goal post. Kicker has mentally checked out.

[EBCollectibles]

Refs may make up some new flags for this game.

False Holding
Illegal Interference

This is pathetic.

[Floridacardguy]

A flag thrown that’s not against Texans? Woe

[Floridacardguy]

The wind had nothing to do with the last one. There was no movement at all on the wind flag on the goal post. Kicker has mentally checked out.

It did the first time and there WAS wind blowing that way on extra point

[Zauron]

Does Spags want to do anything different?

No, just keep letting receivers get wide open over the middle

[49ersSF]

If the Texans defense can get the Chiefs to 3 and out we might only see the Chiefs offense on the field for 3 plays the entire 3rd quarter.

[Zauron]

Omg a holding call on offense?

[cdub6238]

Lol suck it Kelce-douche

[Stifle]

Cant make this crap up...

7 for 67 compared to 1 for 5 ? I just hope that if KC is ahead with a couple minutes and the game is over, the refs don’t start calling penalties on the Chiefs to offset a clear advantage for one side.

[Delta5]

Come on refs. Do something, need to work overtime with this iteration of chiefs

[Delta5]

Why would they do that? Chiefs have refs in their pocket lol

[texmcpherson]

Sooooooo predictable

[Delta5]

Ahahahaha obviously

[Floridacardguy]

Refs to the rescue

[NYBBFAN]

That was definitely a BS call.

[BGT Masters]

Wooooooooow!
