Yeah, they’re Philly. My most despised team. They and their fans are a disgrace and have been for a long time. 

My Cowboy-loving brother said he would have been pissed as hell and throwing shit at the tv if the Cowboys had beaten the Giants and then saw Philly pull Jalen Hurts from the game and put in a scrub. I almost feel sorry for the Giants fans.

Same here.

Ill put mine in

Bills

Rams

Buccneers

Ravens 

Saints 

Steelers

 

Against the spread

Bills

Rams

Buccaneers

Ravens 

Saints

Browns   ( I think Cleveland can win this game.  I am trying to find out why this line went from 3 to 6 overnight?  I am guessing because the Browns coach cant be on the sidelines. But I think he can keep in touch electronically?  Not sure. But I do not think its enough to swing the line 3 points?  Cleveland can win this game for sure. A part of me wants them to but I would rather see the Baltimore Ravens go to KC with a huge chip on their shoulder.  I think the Ravens will smash Tennessee.  If the Browns win they must go to KC and if my Bills win they would host Ravens in that scenario

Good luck today, Rick. I see your Bills winning 31-21-ish. Seattle over the Rams 24-13 and Bucs over WTF 31-10. Looks like Smith is out for W. 

Thanks for the well wishes.  Bills and Rams win playoff game same day!  Love it.  I think Ravens roll tomorrow.  I believe Cleveland has a shot but might be better for Bills if Pittsburgh wins

Tennessee over Baltimore 31-30

New Orleans over Chicago 34-24

Pittsburgh over Cleveland 24-17

That was quite the playoff weekend, I think it had everything, including coaching blunders that may end up in the "hall of shame," like Frank Reich essentially leaving 5 points off the board for Indianapolis.

 

The way the Steelers wet the bed, had my mind flashing to Seattle boat-racing the Broncos in the Super Bowl (unbelievable)...

Here are the lines

Green Bay -6 1/2  vs LA Rams

Buffalo -1 1/2 vs Baltimore

KC-10 vs Cleveland

New Orleans -3 vs Tampa

I have my money down on the Bills and the Rams.  Taking the Rams with the points and straight up.  I think they can give Rogers hell.  This is the best D Rogers has seen all year. And the last time they played, the Rams beat them soundly.  Last year.  There is snow in the forecast in Buffalo for a very rare Saturday night divisional playoff game in Buffalo.  Has not been one since the 90s.  Go Bills!!  

I finally found a store to get my Jim Kelly signed football fixed at.  I need the inner tube replaced.  Its an NFL ball from the early 90s with Tagliabue and Kelly's signature.  He has to send it to the Wilson factory in Ohio.  Its going to cost

Pete Prisco of CBS is  picking the Bills by 1.  Chris Sims, who I liked until yesterday, is picking the Ravens along with his side kick Flories   But they both picked against us during this winning streak before.  Its pretty much split on the national media guys on this one. I believe the weather, home field, and Josh Allen can be the difference.  Ill take Josh over Lamar any day.  If Lamar burns us on a long run for a TD, its not enough in itself to beat us.  Our defense must rise to the occasion. Especially a guy like Tredavius White.  I want this showdown in KC. Do they really?  They were dominated by KC. We were not. Bass missed a huge FG that would have given us a shot in that game and that game was a million years ago.  We were not as good then.  The defense has been better but for their laziness after the 14 points lead vs Indy.  Indy played their hearts out and are the first team to ever get 450 yards of offense in a playoff game with no turnovers and lose. That stat goes to 11-1.  The forecast cannot be trusted.  I read 40% chance of snow.  Cloudy.  30's no doubt.  But the snow is a mystery.   The weathermen have no clue.  Maybe tomorrow, one day out they will have a better radar reading?  Lamar has said he has never played in the snow.

Two heavy hitters I respect out of Vegas are picking the Bills to win the game.  Get it done. The biggest points are if the Bills can get the lead, it would force Lamar to throw and leave his run game.  He is not capable of carrying a team on his arm.  And he has NEVER PLAYED A GAME IN THE SNOW.   50% chance of snow says the weather channel.   It keeps changing which means they do not know and a blizzard could come in off the Lake.  They love the Browns game over.  Makes sense and love New Orleans.  Also like under in Rams/Packers

The Bills will l play KC again in the tile game 27 years since the last time in Joe Montana's last ever game.  That was in Buffalo.  Tony Romo will be the analyst no doubt for the game and he had a part in the maturation process of Josh Allen.  No QB has ever improved like Josh. Romo helped him to become an overnight superstar.   All week the defense was written off and they answered big time. Daren Johnson did to Lamar what he did to Rothlesberger.  Took him to the house, and this one was a game killer.   And a season killer. 

Mahomes has a concussion.  I wish him well but I remember when Trent Edwards had shown so much promise with the Bills and when they were 5-1 they went into Arizona and he got a concussion.  Edwards was never the same again.

I would have some worry if I were a KC fan, which I am NOT.  I am really wondering if this game will actually be on the board at the sportsbook?   With uncertainty about Mahomes I would be surprised.  If they were to announce he cant go, imagine that. I am hoping that the Bills offense and defense play their lights out game two more times. 

Cleveland got screwed in that game on that call when the refs failed to call the helmet to helmet. It would have been aTD for Cleveland no doubt and they likely would have won. But Baker Mayfield moved the ball on them well. Their defense was rated the lowest left in the playoffs before this past weekend.  And don't worry if you love Baker, he will be on plenty of commercials.
