Are the Rams the dark horse team in this year's playoffs?
IMHO no Aaron Donald, no chance. At a glance, I'd pick Tampa before I picked the Rams.
But the NFL playoffs is a bit of a crapshoot; you just have to get hot for 4 games (see Eli Manning or Joe Flacco, or Nick Foles).

At 14-3, they probably shouldn't be called a "dark horse" but the Vikings are the lower seeded team with the strongest betting odds.

I too hate the Saints since Bountygate and I also root against Sean Payton - fuck that guy.

I picked the Lions in the poll to go all the way and I hope they do. But there are a few teams that would be cool to win, such as Minn for example - just not the Iggles or Denver

Lamar is just a maniac and I kinda want him to get a ring sometime, but not at the expense of the Lions though.
I am the one "other" and I'm still alive!

A commanders win would not be a bad thing now that you are rid of that fucking owner lol
They are COMPLETELY playing with house money right now. If they lose on Sunday, of course I will be disappointed, but once I get over it, I'll come back to reality and realize how much of a success this season is regardless.

They won 4 games last year and hadn't won this many games since 1991 when they won the SB. They have their QB of the future and have a front office/owner that clearly knows what they are doing. And they are doing this with such little talent. The talent is only going to get better over the next few years to help out Daniels.

Good lord...I'm really hoping Purdy doesn't hold out for a mega deal. I don't see him as that kind of guy, I think he's kind of a "get my bag but do what's good for the team too" kind of dude, but we'll see. In the meantime, I'm not even sure we can play spoiler for the division? We just have AZ left, and they're in 3rd, so maybe we can knock them out of playoff hopes if there's not a clear lock by the end of the regular season. And somehow beating Detroit would be nice but that's a huge task.
Mega deal incoming for Brock Purdy. I expect the AAV to land north of $55M, and possibly match Dak Prescott's $60M. 🤣

Five days before the Rams host the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC wild-card playoff game, the NFL said it was keeping an eye on the wildfires that have ravaged parts of Los Angeles County since Tuesday.

The league said it currently plans for the Rams to host the Vikings during their playoff game Monday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood south of where fires burned on Wednesday, but it has a contingency plan if the fires adversely impact the ability to host the game.

"As with all games, there are contingency plans in the event a change in location is needed," the NFL said in a statement. "In this instance, the game would be played on Monday night at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz."

What has it been like to watch the Giants this year?

Giants tanking 2025 to try to get another Manning. At least, I mean, that has to be why they're keeping their HC and GM.

Wild Card is the grossest week, have to have like 5 different streaming services to watch all the games. PornHub should make a huge bid to broadcast one of the games, that'd both extra squeeze the conservative football loving states, and would probably net the highest viewership as well as highest watch rating for follow up content.

Maybe he can finally live on is own now. I think right now he's like 54th in QB pay... there are 32 teams.

Every game is available free on broadcast TV except the Steelers/Ravens, which will be free to stream on Twitch.

Correct. They're just being simulcast on each provider's streaming service. MNF is being simulcast on ABC and ESPN

Prime's twitch channel is below

Also it's such bullshit I have to install Twitch on my TV to watch a playoff game. Fuck you Bezos and the NFL C-Suite.

Pains me to say it but I like Philly to come out of the NFC.

(Rooting for the Lions!)

Edit: I still think KC wins the SB.

One bad hit and Hurts back in concussion protocol though. His last one was pretty serious if it kept him out that long.

Without Christian Watson, those chances are diminished IMO.
Packers have depth at WR. The bigger concern is Jordan Love's elbow.

The point spread is 4.5 and the Packers are about a 2:1 underdog.

As a long time fan of the Commanders, I can tell you that the QB is much more important than the WR's you have lol. Look at who they went 12-5 with this year, but had great quarterback play.

totally agree, also it's much easier to draft a good wr than it is to draft a good qb

the end of the world is neigh btw -



from 3 to 9 to 12 to 15 wins in consecutive seasons, i'm beyond ecstatic at the job Chris Spielman/Brad Holmes/Dan Campbell have done

Here are mine. I picked the Chiefs at the beginning of the season and I stand by that today.
