Your home for all things Fool's Ball!

In Memoriam Danny Lee (BENDER2)

Imp Pickz are Rams and Chiefs as well though I’d like it if I were wrong on the later.

Too bad the Oilers were the second best team in the NFL back then. Unfortunately they played in the same division as the Steelers.

Rams and Chiefs. Home team winners.

"Bengals! We rose up the ranks quickly with the Burrows"




"Rams! We rose up the ranks quickly with the L.A. Stafford"




"49ers! I was allowed on here so y'all are prepared for a SF Super Bowl. Maybe the imp will put me in the skit ... Maybe"

Super Bowl list

[Jim W N]

Key: # = scoring ranking; no # = YDG ranking

#5 Chiefs v. #8 Bengals

When the Chiefs have the ball:
Chiefs #4 Offense - YDS: Passing-9th; Run-7th
Bengals # 17 Defense - YDS Against: Passing-19th; Run 16th

When the Bengals have the ball:
Bengals #7 Offense - YDS: Passing-1st; Run-26th
Chiefs # 8 Defense - YDS Against: Passing-26th; Run 30th

Game Plan: Chiefs balanced pass/run attack; Bengals almost all passing.

Outlook: YDG shows Bengals have a shot at an upset showing they can move the ball against the Chiefs. But with a healthy Mahomes, the Chiefs will almost certainly outscore the Bengals. Bengals favored.

#6 Rams v. #12 Niners

When the Rams have the ball:
Rams #8 Offense - YDS: Passing-3rd; Run-28th
SF #10 Defense - YDS Against: Passing-11th; Run 6th

When SF has the ball:
SF #13 Offense - YDS: Passing-2nd; Run-17th
Rams #15 Defense - YDS Against: Passing-9th; Run 4th

Game Plan: Rams and SF should mostly pass.

Outlook: Yards show SF has a shot at an upset. SF defense has a good chance of slowing the Rams. But SF offense is in for some trouble against the Rams defense. Rams Favored.

Here we go.

[cowboyusa]

Bengals are completely outclassed.

[DoodleDawg]

A lot of game left but anyone who thought the Chiefs would take the Bengals for granted have been shown wrong. Definitely made adjustments to their game plan since the loss in week 17.

[cowboyusa]

Bengals fighting back now.

[cowboyusa]

Mahomes is carving them up.

[Jim W N]

Anyway, obviously, I meant Chiefs favored. I hate it when that happens.

(Check out my original pick (Chiefs)).

[dfwgator]

This year, I was wondering if Mahomes would be a flash in the pan, and flame out.

He ain’t. He finally faced some adversity the beginning of the season and overcame it. He’s Canton bound.

[cowboyusa]

Worst halftime show ever.😄😄

[Jim W N]

Bengals’ biggest mistake so far - not enough passing plays.

Chiefs’ biggest mistake so far - not kicking a field goal at the end of the 2nd quarter.

The only way for the Bengals to win is to outscore the Chiefs. Bengals’ defense is pretty bad, but so is the Chiefs’ defense. The Bengals’ offense is going to need to really amp it up if they are to have a chance

[Jim W N]

PLEASE, remind me to skip the Super Bowl halftime show.

Anything. I’ll do something else.

[dfwgator]

I think I scheduled my root canal during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

[cowboyusa]

All momentum with the Bengals now.

[DoodleDawg]

Chiefs’ biggest mistake so far - not kicking a field goal at the end of the 2nd quarter.

That was a Mahomes call, and not a mistake he's likely to repeat.

Third possession in a row without a score. That's got to change.

[Jim W N]

Why do the Bengals’ run EVERY 1st down??? Stupid. Predictable.

The Bengals are the #1 passing team in the NFL against the Chiefs #26 pass defense. They should be passing almost all the time.
