Wildcard Round Poll

[MHSL82]

Self-Explanatory Results Poll. Closes 15 minutes after Raiders-Texans Game starts. Select 4 options on different games (!). You can change your answers up until then, so if another QB goes down in the first 15, you can change. Don't know why it would make a difference in this game of backup QBs.

There were a maximum of 15 options, so I could not put "Dolphins 9+ Over Steelers" as an option. If that's your guess, leave the poll blank for that game and post here.

In regards to technicalities:

IF you think the Seahawks will be up by 8 points and should kneel (no timeouts left, 1st down at the 4. 8 seconds on the clock) but they score a TD to make it more than a 9 point win (two score game), then vote 9+.

If you think Miami will score a garbage time TD on the last play of the game plus two point conversion to turn a 16 point loss into an 8 point game, vote Miami close loss.

I picked the two teams in the example above not as a slight to either team, just trying to illustrate the examples.

Where can I get some of that Pitt +9 action betting the house and neighbor's houses too

I like how the Dolphins don't even get a choice for a big win. I mean, they're definitely going to get blown out, I just think it's funny that you didn't even bother giving them that option when you gave it to everyone else.

I should have changed it to 17+, ehh? But remember garbage time points count!

Seriously, I know the Dolphins beat the Steelers this year 30-15 or something and I know the Steelers have ups and downs, but these are different teams, not a surprise, and there's more film on both teams, including their game. And it's in Pittsburgh and cold.

J/k I know it should have read Miami +9 and they have a pretty good RB . Ben was knocked out that game pretty quick, so not much bearing. Big guys like him and Gronk seem to get injured alot

I explained it in the opening post - only 15 options available. Tell me what is less likely.

None of us know what will happen in the battle of the backups - Houston D is good, but who knows?
Lions game should be close because Seattle seems to be down a bit but pull things out and the Lions are the Lions but doing well this year.
Giants have a good playoff history and went on streaks, but Rodgers is Rodgers.
Steelers have potential for big blowouts or could lose.

Just busting your balls a little, man. I understand why you did it.

This is a terrific poll.....thanks.

 

[sonnyblack65]

I personally like all the dogs to cover this weekend. I think they all lose but keep it within the no# even if a junk score near end

 

[MHSL82]

This is a terrific poll.....thanks.

Just realized for compilation purposes at the end, I should have grouped the Team A 9+ with the Team A Close Win. Now I'm going to have to look across lines to add up. Oh well, we have next round to compute later.

Moore may be the 2nd best back up in the league.

2. Cutler/Moore?
3. Moore/Cutler?
4. Foles/Cutler?
5. Ryan Fitzpatrick?
6. Osweiller?
7. Chase Daniel?
8. Shaun Hill? (Has a lot of experience.)
9. ...?

Sort of my top 2 anyway.

Moore came off the bench and they barely hiccuped.

I don't see Oakland scoring that many points with a 3rd string QB.

 

[MHSL82]

Idiot me. I should have just had "Miami Win over Steelers" as an option with no reference to Close or 9+. D'oh! Totally going to beat myself up over this.

I disagree. Dolphins have at least a 50% chance of Donkeykong Suh jumping on Ben's ankle.....
