Playoffs baby! Here we go!

NFL PLAYOFF SCHEDULE: (Thanks Red Badger)

Saturday, Jan 15, 2022
AFC Wild-Card Round

3:35pm CST
Las Vegas Raiders at Cincinnati Bengals
. Honestly I don't know what to make of the Bengals. One week they look like world-beaters, the next week they lay an egg. As for the Raiders... well, every game seems to be a skin-of-their-teeth exercise. But.... I think Joe Burrow emerges in this playoff game as a true NFL star. Bengals.

7:15pm CST
New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills.
Well, they split in the regular season. Are the Bills the more talented team? You bet. Does that mean they necessarily win? Not so fast... How can one pick against Bill Belichick? Regardless, come on Josh Allen and show what you're truly capable of (and I don't mean by that you throw 3 INTs). Bills.

Sunday, Jan 16, 2022
NFC Wild-Card Round

12:00pm CST
Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
. Along with the Steelers, the Eagles are the Cinderella of this ball. But the clock strikes midnight here. Bucs.

3:30pm CST
San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys
. Honestly don't know what to make of this one either. Cowboys have shown some dominant efforts throughout the season. They have also turned in some lame performances. I would certainly not be surprised to see the Niners pull off the upset. But... Cowboys.

AFC Wild-Card Round

7:15pm CST
Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs
. Ben's swan song or not, I just cannot see the Steelers finding a way to outscore the Chiefs. NO... WAY. Chiefs.

Monday, Jan 17, 2022
NFC Wild-Card Round

7:15pm CST
Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams
. OHMIGOSH! A Monday evening playoff game! These two..... I can't forget that the Cardinals last to the Lions just recently. Of course they also beat the Cowboys recently. And the Rams.... blow a 17-point lead at home against the Niners?! Might as well toss a coin here but I'll go with McVay and Stafford and their experience - and Cooper Kupp - against Klingsbury and Murray and their inconsistency. Rams.

Good Luck Everyone!

Super Bowl Picks: Bills beat the Cowboys

Wow! Gutsy pick. We'll see where we are after this round. I do think it's a wide open tournament this year. No dominant team. Packers?!

They were taking their sweet time. Looked like they were running out the clock.

My picks are based purely on regular-season scoring stats which I have used for the last 30-40 years with pretty good results - better than anyone else that I’ve seen.

I was completely surprised to see the Cowboys as the #2 team at the end of the regular season. I know nothing about the Cowboys; however, they ended the season as the #1 scoring offense in the NFL, but I have no idea why.

I’m showing the Packers as ranked 10th overall.

It seems like a wide-open field this time around - a lot of ups and downs and who knows who’s going to do what.

Welcome to the Bender2 Memorial Pigskin Thread

Yes Jim I do some stuff like that too. It was actually keeping an eye on my fellow players that got me started mapping the standings out.

With about 8 regular season folks not yet making their picks, including Impy and me, I can tell you your picks are overwhelmingly the popular picks.

For instance only one vote for PHI over TB. But of course if we all pick the same teams nobody wins and no one loses. Sounds like communism! So here's mine

I'd love to pick the Raiders but they've had such a weird season on and off the field. I'm taking the Benjie's.
My first upset winner is a coach who shouldn't be doubted. The Bills day will come, just not tomorrow. Patriots win.
This guy should run for President. Bucs.
Next up our forum against the world; SF or DAL. The experts think by 6-2 margin SF beats the Cowpokes. But watching Prescot throw perfect spirals on every single pass, I'm going with the Bender2 Memorial majority here; Cowboys.
As much fun as it would be... Chiefs
Finally as a Lions fan; Go ahead Stafford prove I was the problem all along. Cardinals

Good Luck everybody!

...except for my Super Bowl picks...

Bills beat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl?

Hard to imagine too many picked those teams...

Hard for me to image that will really happen...

(I think there's a good chance coming out of the gate here that the Cowboys may get swiped by the Niners and the Bills get busted by the Pats.)

Not sure we can pull you off of that limb, but it’s all in good fun and you can probably afford the fall if that happens.

I’ve been out on that limb before. Sometimes I came out better than the “safe” folks, sometimes not. But as you say, it’s all for fun anyway.
