THE GAMES
Indianapolis Colts 34
Buffalo Bills 20
Josh Allen and the Bills had themselves a great year breaking or tying numerous team records like Most TD passes (Josh Allen: 37), Most receiving yards (Stefon Diggs: 1,535) and Most wins in a season (13: Tied with '90, '91 seasons). While Phillip Rivers seems to be on his last hurrah with the Colts. Considering he has the most games, passing yards and passing TDs among all QBs to never win a Super Bowl, he's gonna give it all he's got to win this game.
Los Angeles Rams 24
Seattle Seahawks 52
For a team with the league's #1 defense, they sure don't play like it. Maybe it's because I haven't watched many Rams games but they don't give off that menacing, stifling, world beating defensive impression that the Broncos/Steelers/Ravens of yesteryear gave off. In other words, I don't feel this defense is dominant enough to win the game by themselves. With Jared Goff questionable with his thumb surgery, I don't believe Arizona Hotshots legend John Wolford will generate enough offense to beat the Seahawks.
Tompa Bay Buccaneers 47
Washington Insurrectionists 6
I'm torn here. On one hand, I want Washington to win to shutup those bitching about them getting in the playoffs. People are mad that the Giants were "screwed" out of the division title due to the Eagles shameless tanking in the 4th quarter. There are also people who are mad that a team with a losing record is in the playoffs while the 10 win Dolphins missed out on that last wildcard spot in their own conference.
On the other hand, I find it entertaining when shit talkers get their shit pushed in on the field. Rookie DE Chase Young shouted he's coming for Tom Brady next as he ran off the field from his win against Philly. Trash talking has been part of football for a long time so this is really no surprise. A young player feeling himself, thinks he can take out the future HOF veteran in the playoffs. As much as I hate crybabies, I love trash talkers getting embarrassed more so I'm hoping Tom and Friends put the Deadskins in their place.
BTW, fuck off Giants fans/personnel and those who bitched about the Eagles blatant late tank job. The ONLY people who have a legitimate gripe about what Doug Pederson did Sunday are his players (which they did). It was planned ahead of time that he was gonna sub in Nate Sudfeld for Jalen Hurts in the season finale but players like Miles Sanders didn't get the memo, so the benching came as a complete shock to them. As for the Giants, coach Joe Judge was puffing out his chest saying he would not "disrespect the game" by losing like that. GTFO. Your shit ass team finished 6-10 and if we're going just by record, it's disrespectful for YOU to get in the playoffs while the 8-8 Cardinals and Raiders and 10-6 Dolphins are cleaning out their lockers for the offseason just because YOU was less shitty at football than your division rivals. Those three teams aren't an EMBARRASEMENT to the game of football and actually finished .500+. But here YOU are complaining that you didn't get in the playoffs based on a technicality! My god self righteous people are annoying as fuck, like Sakura annoying!
Baltimore Ravens 21
Tennessee Titans 27
Who here likes recalling league ranking numbers? It's the league's #1 rushing attack vs the league's #2 on the ground who's 3rd ranked offense will take on the 7th ranked defense. It's quite fitting this is the ABC/ESPN game because like their commentating team, I don't have anything worthwhile to say about this game. Since the Ravens made the playoffs, we missed out on Madden Curse jokes but we may still get them depending on how badly they lose here.
Chicago Bears 13
New Orleans Saints 41
So this is the special SpongeBob game that football fans lost their shit over. What does SpongeBob have to do with football? Nothing. Will that stop the NFL from partnering with SpongeBob to create a clothing line in honor of broadcasting the game on Nickelodeon? Nope. The game will have kid friendly graphics and will pair two CBS Sports members with two Nickelodeon randos to call the game. God that sounds awful...good thing I don't have kids.
Cleveland Browns 33
Pittsburgh Steelers 24
Division rivals playing each other for a third time in the playoffs is fairly common but how many times was that third game the following week in the Wildcard round? I guess it's something we should get used to like a entire division making the playoffs. Anyway, the Browns finally made their first postseason since 2002 where they lost to the Steelers in the Wildcard round 36-33 (funny how things play out like that)! I look to see them make it two in a row and avenge their 2002 comrades by winning this game and getting that monkey off their back.
LAST WEEK 6-10
OVERALL 140-113-1
