In a point spread contest I am doing with a couple friends, I took all four dogs and the points this weekend, but the only one I am really confident about is Dallas, who I think will win outright tonight against the Rams.

I was also 1-3 last weekend, and could be the same this weekend, taking the Irsays, Rams, Patriots, and Saints.  The first three can go either way, depending on how good ol' momentum swings.  The Saints just have to not press if the score isn't 35-7 after three quarters (which so many think will be the case).

'Mark 'em in stone' predictions:  500 needless close ups of coaches with/without the play sheet in front of their mouths (or Belichick with no emotion), 500 needless close ups of the QBs on and off the field, about a thousand needless replays (often I don't need any after a play much less three), a gazillion different camera changes, maybe a dozen or so times that I will get to see the personnel changes made between plays, the volume for the CBS broadcast almost non existent (since the Ravens are out) so that we don't have to listen to the overexcited ramblings of a 12 year old, and a continued appreciation for Buck and Aikman because of less over talking.

As to officiating and challenges and......well, that's also a constant.  No need to continue ranting more of the obvious.

...going along with Dragon Attack's Queen thread has been like taking a free class in Queen knowledge. Where else are you gonna find info like that?!

I'm heading down to Atlantic City tonight for a concert, but realized that sports betting is legal now and I'm wondering if I could go place some bets down there today.  I'm guessing I can, but now I am starting to think, what's the best bet?  Dallas are 7 point underdogs, that does look like a decent bet. I'm not against the idea of throwing down a 50 on it although it kind of sickens me to then root for Dallas  :lol

Funny you say that because I am considering throwing down some money on Dallas and the points tonight as well.  I have only bet on two games vs the spread in the last 20 years (NE over Seattle in SB 49 and then Pittsburgh over TB in week 3 this season) and this might end up being the third.

I picked LA outright, but my hunch is that it'll either be a close game or Dallas pulls the upset. Dallas +7 was a no-brainer.

Great win by KC.  Their defense was coached well; I lost track of how many teams a defender got their hands up and tipped a pass at the line.

I expect tonight's game to be a nail-biter, for fans of both teams.  It's rare I root for the Cowboys, but Stan Kroenke and the Rams can eat shit.

I haven't watched any regular season football this year and only started watching during the playoffs, I wouldn't even know who to pick to win by nothing other than winning record. Last week the games were great and I thought for sure the Colts would make the Chiefs choke again but my goodness that Chiefs team were a beast of a team. As were the Rams tonight. I'm going to imagine tomorrow's game will follow the same pattern and should be another exciting day of playoff football.

Going for 2 in that situation is suicide. You miss and it's instantly a two-possession game. The Cowboys still had all three timeouts so the onside wasn't critical plus I heard that onsides are now not even half as successful as they used to be due to the new rules (can't have all your dudes lined up on one side of the kicker.)

Agreed.  Jason Garrett is a doofus at times, but kicking the XP and then kicking it deep was the right move there.  Taking out their stud rookie LB on the critical 3rd down after that was not.  So dumb.

OK I can see the no 2-pointer.  But how was that the "right move" giving the ball to a team that's been running over yours all night, plus had NO 3-and-outs???  THAT'S suicide in my book.

The theory is, in a nutshell, field position. You have three time outs, you kick the ball deep, trust your defense and get the ball back in decent position with one of your time outs still in hand. Considering the stats for successful onside kicks, these days, I agree this was the best strategy.

The bolded is where this breaks down for the Cowboys.

It's rare I root for the Cowboys, but Stan Kroenke and the Rams can eat shit.

Well to be fair ....they didn't try to kick it deep. They tried to beam one of the front row plebs.....and it grazed him.....just didn't hit him enough for the desired effect.

I picked NE largely on the basis of a critical fumble by Rivers. We'll see how that goes, but rigged game or not that was a good drive from the Patriots.

IMO, the Rams are vastly superior to the Cowboys on both sides of the ball, and about the only area where they're even is at the RB position.  Whether the Rams have any significant home-field advantage is debatable, but not having to travel is significant, as is having had the week off.

I do not agree. Dallas has a significantly better defense than the Rams, and I think Zeke will run all over the Rams.  Despite having the best defensive player in the league and a bunch of stars, the Rams D has not gelled as a whole and was subpar for much of the season.

Like I said.


I dont see how the patriots win this game.

I’m done. As I said last week, neither team in the wild card game is good enough to beat New England. The Patriots rarely lose in the playoffs at home. Their game planning and discipline in these situations is just unmatched and you have to play a perfect game to beat them. The Chargers just don’t have that in them today, and most certainly not in this environment. Oh well. At least the AFC title game is in KC and not NE. Go Chiefs I guess.
