for the Lions to get in they have to beat the Packers @ Lambeau and the Rams have to beat Seattle, all the Packers need to do is beat the Lions, that's a mighty big hill to climb for the Lions

For some reason I forgot/got confused about the Jets game I was thinking about being this PAST Sunday lol! (it's not entirely a bad thing!)

:tearsofjoy:

Frankly I think the Rams might put up a better fight then Gang-Green but Seattle is a tough place to play for anyone and LA has nothing but pride to play for too.

All true, but the Lions can focus on what they directly control, which is the game against the Packers. The moneyline is Packers -215, which implies they win about 70% of the time.

So the Lions have a 30% "puncher's chance" of winning, which isn't terrible IMO. Whatever happens to the Seahawks is up to Baker Mayfield I guess. :tearsofjoy:

The Niners are a trendy SB pick because they have the league's best defense, and a stud QB (Purdy :tearsofjoy:) with numerous weapons around him. Although Patrick Mahomes is unbelievably great, the Chiefs defense leaves a lot to be desired. The top seed in the AFC is a large prize yet to be grabbed.
 
A Rams loss next week would break the record for worst winning percentage by a reigning Super Bowl champion at .294. The current record is .333 by the 49ers in the strike-shortened 1982 season.

Just a reminder. 😉
 
I just want the Giants to knock Dallas out of the playoffs and that would be a Superbowl victory for me for this overachieving team. Absolutely zero NFL analysts predicted the Giants would be in the playoffs at all before this season started, so this is all gravy. But knocking out Dallas would be the prime rib for the gravy
 
I believe after taking a deeper look @ the AFC playoff picture based on the week 6, 24-20 Bills victory IF (and it's a big "if") the Chiefs lose to the Raiders next Sunday AND the Bills win both tonight in Cinn then next week @ home vs the Patriots the AFC would go through Buffalo.

The Raiders stink and KC needs this game (although it is in LV) so Buffalo HAS to win out.


In a tie with KC, Buffalo would have the first one... KC is 5-0 in their division though.

The Bills guarantee the #1 seed with wins against the Bengals and Patriots. The Chiefs lost to the Bills, so they need to finish with a better record to take the #1 seed, which they cannot do if the Bills win out.

Nailed it.... "head-to-head" applies that's what I meant to say lol. 😉

(obviously today was a wake-and-bake kind of day for me... more so even than usual!)
 
I’d wager he’s already not alive. 24 years old and cpr isn’t a good combination…pretty deadly, actually.

Bet it was an unknown clot that broke loose, gave him a stroke initially then a heart attack. Heart attack at 24 is deadly… much more so than an MI (myocardial infarction—aka heart attack) at 64.
