2.) Bills over Patriots
3.) Bengals over Raiders only because I hate that team and their fans from LV
4.) Bucs over Eagles
5.) Cowboys over that freaking team from SF
6.) Rams over Cardinals (This one is a toss up as both teams are struggling right now)

Looking good so far!!

That 49ers game threw quite a few brackets off, myself included. Otherwise, I’m sitting pretty good, and as long as I got 90% of my teams advancing, I’m still in the green here. One more game to go tomorrow night.

That said, I need the Packers to advance next week and I doubled down on them big, which I have them winning the Super Bowl. I think that game is going to be really close, because when they last met in September of 2021, the Packers barely edged them at Lambeau by two points. I have the spread of the Packers winning by ~15 in Lambeau next Sunday.

What a win by the Niners! Setting the tone from the first possession and getting Dallas to jump offsides multiples times through out the game. Can't count this team out!

Brick by brick!

Only 3-from-5 on my predictions, guess I don’t have a future as a bookmaker.

Thought the Chiefs looked good, and well done the 49ers keeping the Cowboys offense in check.

The Football gods have been kind. Three of my most hated NFL teams (Patriots, Cowboys and Steelers) lost in the wildcard round--woot!

Rooting for the Bills and Bengals this weekend. No hate towards KC, I just favor the Bills. The Titans/Oilers is the Ex who jilted the fanbase by moving to Memphis. That's why I'm cheering for Cincy. There's a good chance I'll have no one to cheer for in 2 weeks.

All I'll have to look forward to is getting a cheap TV after the Superbowl. A lot of 'Mericans "buy" a big TV for the game and return it the next day. Gonna be looking at open box TV's after Valentine's day.?

I ****ed up on the Eagles. I didn't realize Hurts sucks that bad throwing the ball and that the Eagles OC can't make a god damn adjustment mid game.
 
The Rams caused a lot of butt hurt for brackets tonight.😁 I had them winning and moving forward.

**********************

Picks for next weekend:

Titans over Bengals

Bills over Chiefs

Green-Bay over 49ers

Buccaneers over Rams
 
Expected the Rams to beat Arizona. Ready for the Divisional round!

- Bengals (I like Joe Burrow)
- Bills (They look good)
- 49ers (Bang bang, Niners gang! GB defense is ranked better than both LA Rams and Dallas, but the Niners can still establish their run game against that defense. Kyle is going to want that game big time, especially with how their Week 3 matchup ended and of course, the offseason drama between he and Matt LaFleur over the supposed rumor of the Niners trying to trade for Aaron Rodgers. Big factor is if Nick Bosa and Fred Warner are clear to play. Will be another close one for sure and can't out Aaron Rodgers until the game is completely over.)
- Bucs (As long as he has the time to throw, they'll take care of business against the Rams.)
 
The Rams are a hard call. They have the talent to match up with anyone, but you don't know which Stafford you're gonna get. The guy who throws for 400yds and multiple TD's or the one who's gonna throw 3 INT's, one of which is a pick 6.

Let's see...

Titans over Bengals
Packers over 49ers (probably a close one, but with Garoppolo injured and still unclear if Bosa can play, I think the Packers can make it)
Bucs over Rams
Bills over Chiefs (have to go with the Bills, because the Chiefs suck :p)
 
1.) Chiefs over Steelers
2.) Bills over Patriots
3.) Bengals over Raiders only because I hate that team and their fans from LV
4.) Bucs over Eagles
5.) Cowboys over that freaking team from SF
6.) Rams over Cardinals (This one is a toss up as both teams are struggling right now)

SON OF A ....



Picks moving forward:

1) Titans over Bengals
2) Chiefs over Bills (I think this one will be close... and could go either way.)
3) Green-Bay over 49ers (Avenge Me... have to use the voice of the guy from Red Dawn... LOL)
4) Buccaneers over Rams
 
Titans (Won't be surprised if the Bengals win though)
Bills
Green Bay
Rams (If they can get after Brady like the NYG did)
 
My picks for the divisional round…

Bills over the Chiefs
Bengals over the Titans
Rams over the Buccaneers
Packers over the 49ers

It’s a weekend of upsets!
 
I think the Bills over the Chiefs is a good call, the passing offences are probably about equal but I reckon the Bills have the better defense.

Titans I like over the Bengals, what can I say, Derrick Henry should be back, although this should be a close game as Burrow is the better QB.

Bucs over the Rams, it’s a home game for the Bucs and they have Tom Brady. Also likely to be a close game.

Packers over the 49ers, with Jimmy G injured I reckon the Packers are going to run away with this at home.

I hate that they schedule playoff games in the evening. I'm one of those Ben Franklin sleepers. I especially dislike late games on Saturday. I can't watch a recorded game on Sunday before finding out who won when it's the "home town" team involved. Heck, I even record SprortsCenter and save it to watch the next day, after I've watched the previous day's game/s that I recorded. I know, I'm crazy!

I feel your pain! I'm in bed by about 9pm each night so I can never stay up for the late games. I don't have the self control to not check scores as soon as I'm up in the morning, so recording doesn't work for me. :p

If Jansen and Wirfs are both injured or can't go the Rams D-Line could have a field day. They bring 5 almost every play, which means the Bucs are going to have a back up against Donald.

And Tom Brady tends to be a lot less effective if he has defenders getting in his face. Yeah, it could happen. Wait to see who plays, I guess.

Brady will need all the protection he can get against Donald and the Rams' pass rush.
 
@Khalanad75

To be honest with you, I don’t think the Bengals played good football (They were sloppy if anything), but neither did the Titans. That forced pass in the end was a bad call, with four Bengals in the mix was a recipe for the interception and it should’ve been thrown to A.J Brown.

Anyways, fun game to watch.
 
Welp….My bracket is wrecked. :D

Huge rops to the 49ers. They destroyed Green Bay’s special teams with the blocked field goal/punt, and put the most pressure on Aaron Rodgers he’s had all season with 5 sacks, plus converted on their mistakes. And they played in snow at 0°. They deserve every bit of that one.

Niners defense shut Aaron down after that 1st quarter drive. Offense couldn’t do anything consistent. And man, didn’t expect the Special Teams be the deciding factor.

Brick by brick! Let’s go!
 
Yeah, couple of upsets there. Real scrappy performances in both games, none of the offenses able to put a consistent story together across multiple drives. It does speak to the quality of the defensive players on show though. The 49ers really did surprise me by stopping the Packers offense but they had the weather in their favour, that snow out in Green Bay. And they were lucky on special teams, without that touchdown from the blocked kick they would have lost.
