If you put a gun to my head, I guess I’d say Packers/Chiefs in the Super Bowl, but this playoff ledger is wide open IMO. No outcome would shock me. Really surprised Indy wet the bed against Jacksonville. I liked them as a playoff darkhorse.
I think the Niners could be the surprise team of the playoffs. Also think the Steelers could give the Chiefs a much better game than most expect.

In before anyone else....

I like how I’m the only poster who’s apparently supposed to be all knowing. And un-allowed to say things like, “anything could happen.”

“These NFL playoffs are wide open, and just about anything could happen.” - Tempo34
“Look at Tempo waffling!” - HQ morons

“Tempo was not iron clad in every thought/opinion he had! What a fraud!”

Good to see that Jobu is still reading the Cesspool.
-
So by saying is “forced to choose” I’ve somehow contradicted myself?

“Tempo was not iron clad in every thought/opinion he had! What a fraud!”
That is not the point.
Where is Spark to continue this? I have work to do.

By all means, do your work.
It’s not like I made some bold prediction and then gave myself an out. I’m saying if I HAD to pick, it would be Packers/Chiefs, which is probably what most people would pick. Including Vegas.

Will Tom Brady win another super bowl?

Wouldn’t be surprised if he does, wouldn’t be surprised if he doesn’t…

at this point I'd be almost surprised if he doesn't!
-
I’m feeling the underdogs in a big way this week.
-
Oakland clocks it on 1st and goal with 30 seconds remaining and needing 7 to tie.
Why ?
They've got time to run 4 plays. They have more time than they need for their 3 remaining plays after clocking it.
-
Doesn’t matter now. Man, Joe Burrow is a stud.

Yeah, didn’t like wasting the down.
-
Josh Allen is a stud as well.

New England getting curb stomped. Expected more from them down the stretch. Probably looked better than they were by feeding on cupcakes.

Yes, clearly did not approve of tempo's playoff prognostication.
-
So many young and great/soon to be great QBs in the NFL right now. Just hope Fields joins that group.
-
The Bills just hit the over.
-
No surprises early in the Bucs/Eagles game.

these playoffs have been pretty dull so far

Lol
Also good lord they have a ton of clickbait on DS
-
Cowboys cowboying it up at the moment.
-
That's why I don't prognosticate.
-
QB run up the middle with 14 seconds left and no timeouts. That has to be up there for the worst play calls of all time.
-
McCarthy. Told ya.
Shanahan had a couple head scratchers as well. Trying to trick them into jumping from shotgun wasn’t going to work.
-

Yes, way too risky (like the Mack trade). That play looks a fair bit better if you have a TO left. But yeah, dumb.
-
That game ended up much closer than it should have been.
-
Hahahaha fuck the Cowboys! That was hilarious
-
Once again, Jerry is all hat with no cattle.

Loved his Super Bowl or bust comment/answer. Think he needs to fire his coach. Just terrible performance.

I hope he keeps McCarthy. Leaves a couple of decent coordinators open for HC jobs in Chicago and Denver.

Good thinking.

So both 7 seeds got blown out in the playoffs
Expanded playoffs was a great idea

Lol “out of context.”

Oh, Kyler.
-
After a great start, Kyler and Arizona turned to shit really quick this year. Just a terrible decision in your own end zone.

That was Cutleresque

He’s not a pocket passer. Hasn’t been good since he hurt his ankle mid season and stopped running.
-

Um, no. Not so much. These playoff games have been awful.

Kyler has 1 rushing attempt in the 1st half.

Stafford finally wins a playoff game

While Bills/Patriots was kinda awful, I really enjoyed seeing the Patriots get absolutely buttfucked. I also enjoyed 9ers/Cowboys. Right down to the perfect McCarthy-esque ending.
Other than that, yeah, not a great weekend of football.

That’s great. Shared it with a few of my Cowboy friends.
-
I know Jimmy G isn’t a world beater, or a special QB, but since the year they acquired him they are 33-14 when he starts, and 7-30 when he doesn’t. Remarkable.
Horrible decision to throw that pass to the corner, though. Could have gone in 7-7.
If the Niners can win the Super Bowl I’d win $990 (I believe on a $45 bet). So, guess I’m rooting for that lol
-
Actually, I just need the 49ers to win the NFC for $990.
It was the Colts I made a small wager on to win the SB.
-
I’ve been a Shanahan fan and defender, but he’s starting to look like a guy who chokes under pressure.
-
That's one way to tie the game without an offensive score.
-
Let’s go 49ers!!
-
Good as Gould!
-
And with that, both #1 seeds are out of the playoffs.
-
One win away from $990 payday! Really liked the Niners’ chances. Bad matchup for GB.
Fuck Aaron Rodgers and cheeseheads.

One more win, Niners!
-

Come on, he looks nothing like Aaron Rodgers
-
Shanahan still has me worried. I love the way he builds teams and his system, but this guy tried to choke away another big game. The blocked punt saved his bacon.
-
Joe Biden says, "Suck it, anti vaxxer State Farm fuck!" if he is still awake.
-
Pound for pound, Deebo Samuel may be the best player in the NFL.

-
Being from the Chicago area, Jimmy G hates the Packers. Glad he and Gould were representing!
-
Aaron Rodgers may want to stick to sports. More focus on football and less on game shows, vaccine research and owning the libs.
-
This game just turned crazy
-
The Rams trying their hardest to choke this away
-
Holy shit, that’s some Brady magic.
-
Never mind, the Rams just said fuck Tom Brady 😂
-
Rams prevail. All three games end on a walkoff FG. Complete reversal from last weekend.
-
that's the best possible end to Brady's career I could script
-
Bad coverage by TB but what a throw by Stafford.
-
Take Todd Bowles off the Bear list.
Another Trumper QB goes down. Gelato sad!
-
I’ve got a very handsome lineup in a tourney that’s 500k to first. Not the start I wanted though. Need Knox, Davis, Helaire to go off
-
Tried to swap out Helaire for MicKinnon before kickoff but was too late.
-

Inexcusable to let him get behind you like that. Can’t give him a free release with the game on the line.
-
I don’t hate that Stafford has a Super Bowl shot after rotting in Detroit for a decade plus. But next week’s matchup has certainly lost some luster.
-
Holy fuck. Mahomes and Allen putting on a show.
-
Some damn good entertainment
-
OT we go. What a fucking game.
-
Bills were celebrating with 13 seconds to go.
-
Bills really thought they had this won with 13 seconds left. Sucks for them.
-
Spectacular game.
-
Mahomes throws for 177 yds in the last 2 minutes plus ot.
-
We can say 'no thanks' to Leslie Frazier too.
-
That was nuts.
Why did the Bills not squib kick?
-
Had a top 200 lineup in the millionaire maker (out of 177k) until the OT period did me in. Won about $350. Could have been a lot more. Dawson Knox let me down.
-
That was nuts.
Why did the Bills not squib kick?
I'm guessing the big punt return scared them off of the squib kick. Took the conservative option.
-
That was nuts.
Why did the Bills not squib kick?
Too busy counting their chickens ?
-
That was nuts.
Why did the Bills not squib kick?
They're getting tore up for that decision today, that's for sure.
-

It was really awful. If the Chiefs try to return it, it's game over unless they get a TD. If they don't, you probably run off 2-3 seconds minimum, which would probably be enough.
Before it all went down, we were discussing this game...
This was 11 seconds, not 13. The kickoff used 5, but the Bears squib kick was miserable, needed to be deeper. Ryan only got one play with 6 seconds left, and really the Bears got home cooked by the clock operator
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FtdRqDyTYA
-
Squib or not, the Bills defense just had to keep them out of FG range and they couldn't do that. They handed Kelce a free 25 yards with the prevent-you-from-winning defense. It's almost like the Bills weren't aware that KC still had all of their timeouts.
-
Mahomes 10-11. Just so efficient.
-
Burrow with the horrible INT after Bengals tie it up. Bengals’ defense needs to make another play if they’re going to win. Hope they do.
-
Here we go!
-
Passing up 3 on the last play of the half might haunt the Chiefs.
-
Could this be the greatest NFL playoffs ever?! Wow, this stuff is unbelievable! Looks like Cincinnati is gonna upset the Chiefs!
-
The Wildcard round sucked, but every other game has been outstanding.
-
Wait, that’s a fumble!!!!
-
He was never touched down and let go of the ball!
-
Recovered by the Chiefs!
-
Man, if they reviewed that they’d see he was never touched and tripped over his own man.
-
Does Burrows get the Patrick price?
-
Cincy does it!
-
Getting greedy sends the Chiefs home.
-
An Ickey Woods sighting.
-
Joe Namath, Joe Montana, and gonna be Joe Burrow.
The only ones to win a college NC and a SB. It’s destiny. Put all your savings on the Bengals. That Burrow-Chase combo is impressive. May be the best 1-2 punch in the NFL.
-
An Ickey Woods sighting.
He was my favorite player growing up
-
Bengals lose to the Bears and Jets. Beat KC twice. Go figure.
-
Now let’s go Jimmy G!
-
Now let’s go Jimmy G!
puke
-
And when did Cincy steal the Saint's slogan?
-
Not one peep about changing the OT coin toss rules this week.
The Bengals realized you could still play defense in OT.
-
Well ThePenisMan, there’s those special teams again…

Any idea what Dominic's return on a dollar and 2 bananas would be ?
-
Thoroughly enjoyed watching Joe Burrow and the Bengals dispatch the Chiefs. Few things make me as happy as sad Chiefs fans.
-
Worth $990 for me if the Niners can win this game. Go Niners!
-
I’ve been a Jimmy G apologist, but I would put Trey Lance in for a drive or a few plays to see if he can provide a spark. Jimmy lacks any big play ability. Could be the thumb, but regardless, he’s not been good.
-
Sure INT dropped by Niners turns into the game-tying FG for the Rams
-
Just when I started getting confident about winning my 1k they blow it.
-
Stafford finally gets the fuck out of Detroit and immediately reaches the Superbowl
-
How the fuck did he drop that? Good games nonetheless. Glad I don’t have to watch Jimmy G flailing around in the Bowl.
-
Hearing from someone who knows things that there’s a good chance Brady is going to San Francisco.
