Agree with all but KC over Miami.

If Waddle and Mostert are back, and they are supposed to be, Miami's offense can light up the scoreboard. And KC's Defense isn't great. Could be a shootout with a PO'd Miami.

Do want to watch Stafford go back to Detroit.

Also,

Watt is out for Pittsburgh, Rudolph remains the starter.

My picks for the weekend...

Buffalo over Pittsburgh
Kansas City over Miami
Cleveland over Houston
Tampa Bay over Philadelphia
Detroit over Los Angeles
Dallas over Green Bay
Buffalo vs Pittsburgh
Kansas City vs Miami
Cleveland
vs Houston
Tampa Bay* vs Philadelphia
Detroit**
vs Los Angeles
Dallas vs Green Bay

*BM6 has been pretty solid of late but I could see him falling apart... Or absolutely owning PHI. I still like PHI at home.

**DET is one of the most schizophrenic teams in the post season. Let's see which team shows up...

Yes, if he and Evans are on the same page, it will be a long day for the Eagles secondary.

Gametime temps in KC are forecast to be 0-5. And windy.

I agree about DET... In fact I feel like LA is gonna go in there and steal this game tbh... I could see a huge Stafford game slinging it around to those really good receivers. This might turn in to a shootout coming down to whoever has the ball last.
 
Detroit; only the Ravens have a better season record this year, yet Detroit has a lot of doubters......and given their long run of not so good seasons, it isn't surprising.

Living in L.A., I'll be cheering for the Rams, but I'm glad to see Goff have such a good season.

And I'm glad to see Mayfield have some success with Tampa. After flaming out elsewhere, he had a few good games for the Rams as an emergency backup QB a year ago.

It's expected to be one of the coldest games ever. I predict Miami will wilt and KC's playoff experience will kick in.

Philadelphia is playing on the road in Tampa, not at home.
 
Belichik out in New England. I wonder where he will end up
BB potentially ending up on the Chargers is a scary proposition... They have a good QB and Offensive weapons... if BB fixes their Defense and Special teams then that team becomes a problem in the AFC.

I would love to see Justin get a good coach behind him, but I'm not sure that Belichik is the man for the job.
 
Pete Carroll out in Seattle...wth is going on.. the NFL is drunk right now
Wow... that's like NE without... oh...wait...

😱
Looks like we've reached the end of... well I don't know what, but some end. Belickik was done when Brady left and I expected him to keep trying in NE, but Carroll... I'm sorry for the guy. He loved his job and was good at it.

NE is a big mess, I don't even know where to begin. Seattle is a little different, there's potential. They can't rebuild that team with Smith though, he's too old.

I don't think BB will fix anything. To be honest, I have to wonder how good he really is without Brady. The NE dynasty was so successful due to the combination of BB and TB. BB alone looked a little lost in NE.

Well, I think BB was “ready for a new challenge” for a while, to put it euphemistically. The whole situation in NE is not great, the defence sucks, the offence sucks, the coaching wasn’t great, it needs renewing and that starts with the HC. Glad he’s gone, never found him very sympathetic.
 
It will be weird seeing The Hoodie on another sideline. Or someone else on the Patriots sideline. BB was Pats coach for almost half my life.

Yeah that's going to be pretty trippy. BB has been the Pats coach for my entire NFL fandom.. I was 8 years old when he started coaching the Patriots and i didn't really start following/watching football until I was 12

BB - Actually 8 rings total, two as a Giants assistant and 6 as HC. People forget about the Giants rings.
 
I think the Mia-KC game will be the most interesting. Will Miami fold again in the cold, after their Buffalo collapse? Will KC's playoff experience turn it on in what has been a disappointing season so far? And how cold will it get?

I have Peacock, so I will be watching :) (by the way, lame move NFL for putting on PPV playoff games. Weak.)
