7:00 Is BM6 out of surprise/magic? TB but only because they are the home team and PHi seems beat up...

Considering their records in the regular season you’d expect a Philly win but as Green Bay showed it doesn’t tell the whole story…

I am not a Baker fan, but I'll give it to him, he is tough and doesn't give up.

yes, he's not had the pro career that his college career suggested he might have; but he's done ok for TB this year, enough so that they might have him back again next year.

If his injuries keep him out of today's game, that'll be a blow to Tampa's chances

Have to say those last two games were a little boring. Close in performance but neither team was playing really good, it's just that one team was even worse than the other.

The Eagles???? Has there been another team that had a similar total collapse after such a hot start?

Early in the season everyone was like, Eagles to the Super Bowl, and for a long time they looked like an amazing team, but the last few rounds really took a toll and then to go out in the Wild Card… I think they were unlucky to face a string of strong teams at the end of the season, but coming into the playoffs they did not look rested and at their best.

ok, so Mayfield looks to have a job lined up for next season.

Well maybe this year the Dolphins...?

For a couple of weeks, if not more, I thought it was going to be MIA vs PHI in the SB...

Ok football heads, explain why Allen's QBR is so much higher than Mayfield's?

Is it the completion % ?

Next week...

Texas @ Ravens - Would love to see the Texans win, but it's not going to happen.
Packers @ 49ers - Go Niners! I want a 49ers vs Chiefs SB and I like Purdy.
Buccaneers @ Lions - Will be rooting for the Buccs, but here I go again and say the Lions got this 100%.
Chiefs @ Bills - I just have to go with the Chiefs, even if they have absolutely no passing game. Oh and did I mention I want a 49ers vs Chiefs SB? 😜

Texas @ Ravens - This should be a great game, this Texans team looks legit and they hit the lotto with Stroud (sorry Panthers fans, this one must sting) But I think the Ravens prevail because they're just too good and harbaugh will have them well prepared

Packers @ 49ers - Packers looked really good, but I think they also benefited from a lot of breakdowns and miscommunication by the Dallas secondary. Don't think that will happen against SF, and the SF offense will be alot better than what they got from Dallas... I think SF rolls in this one.

Buccaneers @ Lions - I have a sneaky feeling about this one... I feel like last weeks game was so emotionally draining for the Lions with Stafford coming back, Goff facing the Rams who let him go unceremoniously and the fact that it was their first home playoff game in decades. If Bowles has a good defensive plan the Bucs might be able to steal this one. I am feeling an upset.

Chiefs @ Bills - Ugh Mahomes is becoming so insuferable to watch... He is whining and yelling at the refs almost every single play that doesn't go his way. Like he wants a flag each time they don't get positive yards... its getting really old and and annoying.... However I dislike the Bills more so for my own selfish reasons will pick the chiefs to go in there and continue their playoff dominance over the Bills... I could see a signature Allen game with 2+ interceptions.

The Bills win over the Steelers was one of the best games to watch in a long time. Buffalo (city of) got 48" of snow on Sunday night! Bills hired as many fans as they could for $20/hr to shovel the stadium, tarps on the field kept it spotless for the game. There was so much snow in stands that every time the Bills made a good play, fans would throw a pole up in the air, made for great viewing. I will take Josh Allen over any other QB, he is fearless, he ran 59 yards on one play for a touch down!

I would also like to say it is so nice to see a major entertainment act like a normal human being. Taylor Swift was have a ball with the crowd, even gave her scarf to a lady sitting in front of her that was freezing.

Don't underestimate the Bills home field advantage. The Chiefs are vulnerable. As far as turnovers, Allen has 22. Mahomes? 17, just 5 less. And Josh has 44 total TDs vs Mahome's 27. High risk, but very high reward for Allen. In fact, Allen has 6 more TDs than the next guy, Dak.

So, not sure why everyone loses their bleep over Josh's turnovers, but not Mahomes or anyone else.

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...

@Don Quixote 2/6 oooof! Hope you didn't put money down!

Also, did you realize that PHI wasn't the home team? he he he...

BM6 seems pretty solid right now...

Did make picks? I can't recall...

Man you got nerves of steel!

I can't make any picks... too close to call on all fronts. I can see all the games going the other way too easily!

Well… I do think a lot of the next round games are going to be close. But:

Texans @ Ravens*: think the Ravens are a size too big for the young Texans
Packers @ 49ers*: home team with a lot of talent wins
Bucs* @ Lions: think the Bucs will sneak this
Chiefs @ Bills*: it’s at home, the Bills have a strong running game, it’s cold…

Looking forward to the weekend!

Never thought I'd see "strong running game" associated with the Bills. But, if they stick to it, they can run the ball effectively.

Don'r count out the Texans. As i said in an earlier post, they are on a mission. And Lamar and the Ravens have not had great playoff success.

49ers, I don't see them losing that game. Love though looks like he can be a QB.

Bucs and Baker's dream runs out this weekend. The Bucs win is a bit overrated, as I think a high school team could beat the Eagles now.
