For Badger

And concerning that eagles - WFT game Sunday night:

Yeah, The Eagles Threw The Game. Good

[Rummyfan]

I'm traveling this week so here are my playoff picks. Good luck to everyone!

No. 2 New Orleans Saints (12-4) vs. No. 7 Chicago Bears (8-8) Bears are just happy to be here. I don't think they'll give the Saints much of a challenge. Saints.

No. 3 Seattle Seahawks (12-4) vs. No. 6 Los Angeles Rams (10-6) Seattle has been up and down, up and down. But the Rams are without Jared Goff. Seahawks.

No. 4 Washington Football Team (7-9) vs. No. 5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-5) Tom Brady has had one of his best seasons ever statistically. And while the WFT has a good defense and Alex Smith coming back to win a playoff game would be a fantastic story, they just don't have the wherewithal to beat the Bucs. Bucs

No. 2 Buffalo Bills (13-3) vs. No. 7 Indianapolis Colts (11-5) The Bills are on a mission. Maybe that mission is to lose to the Chiefs but I don't see them losing to the Colts and Old Man Rivers. Another great story in Frank Reich coaching against his former team. Bills.

No. 3 Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) vs. No. 6 Cleveland Browns (11-5) Can the Browns beat the Steelers two weeks in a row? And now with their head coach banished to COVID isolation. Great win last week by the Brownies ... against a resting Pittsburgh squad. I don't think they can do it although I would love to see it. Steelers.

No. 4 Tennessee Titans (11-5) vs. No. 5 Baltimore Ravens (11-5) The Titans seem to have the Ravens number, beating them in their last two meetings. But I'm betting the Blackbirds have matured in the last year and won't panic if they get behind. And they find some way to at least control the monster that is Derrick Henry. Ravens.

So here's how I have it shaking out for the regular season. Thank you all for hangin' out with me! Go Browns!

Did you use Dominion voting machines?......................

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I'm a latecomer to the thread, as I didn't even start watching football until about a month ago.

Looks to me like Buffalo is this year's team of destiny. Chiefs and Packers are good, but just don't have that champion look to me.

My post season picks:

Wild Card
Buffalo over Indianapolis
Baltimore over Tennessee
Pittsburgh over Cleveland
Seattle over LA
Tampa over Washington
New Orleans over Chicago

Divisional Round
Kansas City over Baltimore
Buffalo over Pittsburgh

Green Bay over Tampa
Seattle over New Orleans

Conference
Buffalo over Kansas City
Seattle over Green Bay

Super Bowl
Buffalo over Seattle

Do you see me in first place? Does that answer your question? :) Nice pickin' this year Red!

Good to hear from ya! I'm not sure if Impy's going to gather up postseason picks or not. I just kinda act as the statistician. Pretty gutsy calls in laying out the entire postseason! Browns had to practice "virtually" again today and their HC is out. But the game hasn't been played yet so I'm still holding out hope. Of all the teams to face in the AFC playoffs, I prefer to face Pittsburgh anyway.

[Red Badger]

[teeman8r]

if we are doing this.

Wild Card
Buffalo over Indianapolis
Baltimore over Tennessee (whoever wins this wins it all)
Cleveland over Pittsburgh
Seattle over LA
Tampa over Washington
New Orleans over Chicago

Divisional Round
Baltimore over Kansas City
Buffalo over Cleveland
Green Bay over Tampa
New Orleans over Seattle

Conference
Baltimore over Buffalo
Green Bay over Saints

Super Bowl
Baltimore over Green Bay

thanks for a great year football wise.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

As a St. Louisan, I'm sort of without a home team so I have lately gone with the Browns mostly because I like Baker Mayfield. But they seem to find ways to lose games, and until that changes, I'll root for them, but have low expectations! KC is sort of my fall back team, as they are in the same state. But, as I said earlier, Buffalo just looks to be the cream of the crop, but as you know, anything can happen.

As a latecomer to the season, I noticed that almost all of the social justice stuff has been abandoned. They have the things on their helmet, but it reminds me mostly of the old days- except for the empty stadiums- which is still beyond weird.
