Buccaneers over Eagles
Buccaneers over Eagles
Browns over Texans
Bills over Steelers

Cowboys over Packers
Championship droughts for NFL playoff teams:
1957-Detroit Lions-2nd longest league overall (1947 Chicago/St Louis/Phoenix/Arizona Cardinals franchise is longest) but longest current wait to play in Super Bowl as Cardinals franchise did against Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII in 2009.
1965-Buffalo Bills-AFC Champions before Super Bowl created.
1973-Miami Dolphins
1994-San Francisco 49ers.
1995-Dallas Cowboys
1998-Cleveland Browns (new team added in 1998 when original franchise transferred to Baltimore).
2002-Houston Texans-Expansion team to have yet to appear in a Super Bowl.
2008-Pittsburgh Steelers
2010-Green Bay Packers
2012-Baltimore Ravens
2017-Philadelphia Eagles (previous championship was in 1960).
2020-Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2021-Los Angeles Rams
2022-Kansas City Chiefs (defending Super Bowl champions).
Browns
Dolphins
Bills (maybe Steelers should just skip it)
Bucs
Lions
Cowboys
There are three tiers this year:
Top Tier: Ravens, Niners, Cowboys
Second Tier: Bills, Dolphins
Third Tier: the rest
Super Bowl: Ravens over Dallas (the Niners) Ravens look unbeatable this year.
Browns
Chiefs
Bills
Cowboys
Lions
Eagles
RAMS!
Net scoring favors the Lions over the Rams.
Lions’ #5 strong scoring offence should roll over Ram’s #19 fairly weak scoring-against defense.
However, the Rams could upset the Lions with good #8 scoring offense against the Lions sad #23 weak scoring defense.
Lions have the edge but as it was in the Mickey Mouse Club, it could be “Anything Can Happen Day”.
The Bills lost to the Chiefs for the AFL Championship in 1966 for the right to go to the first Super Bowl. AFL championships are all we have to hang our hats on around here. The Browns and the Packers were the class of pro football in the mid 60’s. It would have been interesting to see how those Bills teams would have fared against them.
They should move the KC game to 1 PM tommorrow.
No, they should keep it right where it’s scheduled and let the organization deiced for itself what to do, not some stupid woman who’s trying to play their mom.
Some of the best games to watch are these snow bowls. They’re fun to watch.
These tyrannical women. Wish they’d go away.

Kansas City beats Miami (If they weren’t at home I wouldn’t give my Chiefs a chance)
Buffalo over Pittsburgh
Dallas over GB
Detroit over LAR
Philadelphia over Tampa Bay (the Philly talent shamed for weeks, wakes up, IMHO)
Houston Flaco flakes out
Miami KC still out to lunch
Buffalo Easy over the Steelers
Dallas Dallas at home
