Titans D not looking good. I think the Ravens dominate them Packers absolutely have a good chance. Would like to see Rodgers get a 2nd ring
Bills are playing the best of any AFC team right now, but I just have a feeling they will will lose vs the Ravens in the AFC title game
The Eagles tanking the game would have been sweeter if it knocked the Cowboys out Sadly Andy Dalton made sure that was not the case
Sadly, you're right about the Titans D, which is why I don't expect them to make it to the SB, but if King Henry keeps running over other teams' defenses anything is possible. I'm a big A.J. Brown fan, too - I think he's better than his former teammate D. K. Metcalf, and he was better than Metcalf at Ole Miss. Probably, the biggest question I have going into the playoffs is whether or not Lamar Jackson will choke again. If I were Jim Harbaugh I'd lean hard on the running game this weekend. I'd like to see that, too. Rodgers is the best QB in the game right now, imo. It's a real treat watching him play.
Nor should he, and after what he's been through this year I'm even happier to see the Skins make the playoffs. Alex Smith's return is my Comeback Story of the Year, too. I never expected to see him play again. Getting back to Rivera, I can't wait to see what he does what that defense. If he fixes the secondary it could become the best unit he's ever coached, which is saying something.
They have been playing better, and Kamren Curl has really stood out lately. Going into the season the one rookie who really intrigued me was Antonio Gibson (everyone knew Chase Young would be great). If they can get him going Saturday their chances of beating the Bucs go way up.
I am hopeful, but i don't want to get too far out over my skis. On paper the Bucs are better. But on paper the Steelers were better too. We shall see.
I like that idea. Alex Smith is struggling with his injuries and Taylor Heinicke played well against Carolina a couple weeks ago. Had Rivera brought Heinicke in earlier I think they would have won that game. If Smith struggles early I have no problem with Rivera giving Heinicke a shot. If Heinicke struggles then he can bring Smith back in. Of course, Smith may not struggle and there will be no need to rotate QBs. Personally, I think the Skins' offense has to focus on getting the running game going and control the time of possession to beat the Bucs. Their defense and special teams can't put the O in an early hole, either. I'm praying for a breakout game for Antonio Gibson...
Really, REALLY BAD news for the Browns, who are one of the underdogs I am rooting for: Browns coach Kevin Stefanski tests positive for COVID-19, will miss AFC wild-card game Why Browns coach Kevin Stefanski can't coach remotely after positive COVID test
My picks as of today: Bills over Colts Seahawks over Rams Bucs over WTF My gut says Titans over Ravens but I'm going Ravens over Titans (provided Lamar Jackson doesn't choke again) Saints over Bears Steelers over Browns * Ravens most likely to get upset Underdogs I'm rooting for: Politically Correctskins, Titans and Browns
The name, for this season only, was a wise move from the legal, marketing and due diligence points of view. Look for a new nickname rollout in the off season.
I heard that some clever person bought up a bunch of possible names, and will charge through the nose for them.
