Game Thread: Divisional weekend

[armadillooutlaw]

The winner of Dallas, San Fran is in the super bowl. Calling it as a dead lock.

I tend to agree with this. IMO Philly is a paper tiger and NY is just a good team, nothing more. With that said, you have to think whichever AFC team gets to the Super Bowl will be heavily favored over Dallas/SF to win it all since they have the great QBs.

I’ll alert the media

My people are already on it.

The remaining NFC teams have significantly better defenses outside of the Giants. I wouldn't be so sure of a big spread.

Saturday will feature the blowouts and Sunday the close games.

since things never go quite as predicted in the playoffs, we'll probably have at least one relatively close game on Saturday, and/or one not-so-close on Sunday.

Fair point. However I wasn't so much meaning point spread as much as likeliness of winning the SB in general.
I couldn't view, say, Mahomes' Chiefs as an underdog against my Cowboys, just as an example.
Would it be a close game? Probably.

Its actually kinda crazy that the Jaguars arent #1. I know the Chiefs have Carlos Dunlap and Travis Kelce so Im sure that keeps them out of the mix for #1

To the other thread.... Dallas has drafted well over the years, last year as well.

Dallas at the top is skewed some with Tyler Smith being only 21. Tulsa kid has done well. Left guard, left tackle, held his own and played about every play. Now with Peters, looks like Tyler Smith is back at left tackle going against Boza. What could go wrong here?

What about the Eagles is so great on paper?

Fantastic D-line and top two receivers.
Not a believer in Hurts as a passer in the playoffs against either Dallas' or SF's defense.

Dallas has a shitty secondary

Dallas has a shitty secondary

And bad LB play

Looking forward to all the games. Too hard to predict any of the outcomes, especially considering how sucky my picks turned out the previous week. If I had to go with the most anticipated contest, it would have to be the Bengals-Bills for obvious reasons. Just gonna kick back, ignore the wife, and enjoy these 4 battles.

That's interesting - I don't think of the Bills as being an "old" team. The core is relatively young.
Looking at the roster, they have 14 players 30 or older, but only 4 of them are starters.
Over the last few seasons, most recent in particular, the Bills have tended to sign older players to reserve spots.

theres a difference of 1 year between dallas 25yrs/9 months and buffalo 26/9 its a useless stat

browns 25/4 are the youngest alot of good it did them

They have drafted well, wish BB would take a cue, lots of homegrown talent. Kid Vander Esch has been a stud from Boise.

I’m wrong frequently.

But I don’t give a shit.

I know.

It crosses sports too.

You kicked my ass in F1 picking 2 years running.
