Since the SB is getting closer and closer let me ask you what are your favourite teams to get to the big game?

I've mentioned a couple of times already... I'd like Ravens vs Bucs, not the least because I'd make some money if that happens Grin

I was never Brady's fan to put it mildly but being able to do what he's doing now in a different team at his age is quite impressive. And Lamar... well, he's pretty much the opposite of Brady in many ways. Ravens' defense is better. Bucs' offensive line seems to be better. Barring any major injuries it would be a spectacular game.

Lamar is just unlucky to be in the same conference as Mahomes but maybe Browns can help him with that LOL.

Since the SB is getting closer and closer let me ask you what are your favourite teams to get to the big game? In my case I will like to see Ravens vs Saints, Lamar is simply too exciting and I am sure the guy will give a tremendous performance on the SB, and I would like to see Brees to at least get to the big game as to me this seems like his last dance as the injuries he has been suffering this season are serious, I was about to write that I would like to see the Buccaneers since it would be an interesting story to see Brady getting to the SB and playing at home but Brady has enough rings already.

@mrob82. Which sportbook offers those teasers? The Packers down to pickem is a very good offer. I reckon the Rams with +6.5 and the best defense in the regular season might make it a very close game and cover the handicap.

You can place teasers on nitrogensports and if you tease both of the said spreads you'd get -110/1.9. I'm thinking of doing the same bet and skip the other two.

Also, the Bills in their home stadium, this is the playoffs and it is only -2.5 hehe. Bills might win with more than 3 points.

Just put in a massive teaser on Chiefs and Packers. Got Chiefs down to -4 and Packers to a pick'em. Browns might hang in for a while but I think Mahomes will show up. I just see Packers winning by at least 7-13 pts.

Think kc goes to the big game again. They just have so many weapons and can score in an instant.

I know, it's a long shot. But Chiefs looked kinda wobbly in the last two games with Mahomes (against Saints and particularly Falcons) and we've also seen what Browns did to "rested" Steelers so fingers crossed.

Shockingly even after the Buckeyes loss and the bad bets last weekend I still have money left... so I've set my bets up for next weekend. I'm probably overcompensating for underdogs now but whatever.

Packers -3.5
Ravens +4.5
Buccaneers +7.5
Browns +14.5

And I still got Ravens & Bucs for SB... amazingly those odds are now lower than when I started, or perhaps not that amazing since they're still in and 6 teams dropped out.

Go Browns.

I like any spread over a touchdown against Brady in the playoffs. Rare that he gets blown out in the playoffs so I've been thinking that one as well. Might parlay the chiefs -10 and bucs +7.5 on this one. Think kc goes to the big game again. They just have so many weapons and can score in an instant.

Did anyone watch all six games?

Not on my ass, but the TV was on all day, both days. The only game I sat down to watch was last night's Browns @ Steelers.

I agree the NFL is desperately trying to cash in any way they can. I get the feeling that most of their big advertisers are seeing the same thing the fans are; too many commercials and no where near enough football.

And for all those football junkies out there, don't forget that there is the College final today

The over/under is at a whopping 75 Shocked

College kids... zero defense. I got Ohio State ML.

I placed a small bet on Ohio State ML with 3.45 odds as well. The way they handled Clemson was quite impressive, and the way that college teams are ranked for the championships is a joke. I regret not betting on their game with Clemson because I suspected they were underrated.

Dam Ohio state got manhandled last night. Davonta Smith is probably the best wide receiver I've ever seen come out of college. If I were the jets at #2 I'd be taking davonta Smith without question, not even fielding calls for the pick. Dude is a game changer.

With that being said Browns going to Kansas City, i think the buck stops here. I'm all over Kansas city on this one -10.

Did anyone watch all six games? I watched most of the Ravens-Titans game except maybe a couple of snaps. All others just intermittently. I understand what NFL is trying to do here with peddling TV rights to different channels and trying to make more money by creating more games but no sane person is going to spend nearly 10-11 hours two days in a row on this... and sure as shit they're not going to buy more trinkets from the ads so it's a zero sum game at best.

Myself after watching all six games.

The GF after the same six games.

Totally worth it. Cool

But seriously I watched the six games as a challenge more than anything, and the game between the Bears and the Saints was especially painful to watch, the rest of the games had at least something that made them interesting, even the game between the Browns and the Steelers was interesting in a way as the Browns were relentless and they took decades of frustrations on the poor Steelers, but the Bears had nothing to do on the postseason, if the Cardinals had qualified instead we would have seen a more interesting game.

Well, this was a bit boring overall I think with Seattle not showing up, Washington/Chicago being too poor and Titans just playing for one quarter. Bills vs Colts was a good game and Buffalo got a bit lucky imo. Browns was fun to watch, lol, but when a game is decided after 13 minutes, thats pretty meh for a playoff game.

The Rams surprised me the most, it's a miracle how Goff can be so good just two weeks after having surgery on his thumb. Wolford getting injured early was probably the best that could happen to them.

Here are the odds and lines for the next round:

These matchups promise some more drama and at first glance I like the Ravens ML as well as the over there. Green Bay looks a bit too low, if the Rams can continue what they started at Seattle, but that is a big if. And Browns HC or even ML is too high; KC isn't that good this season and they have won their last seven games by not more than 6pts and with only ~3.85pts on average.

'Cleveland fans, you are not dreaming this!' Al Michaels Grin

Let me hop on the Browns bandwagon, i took them to cover 5 days ago.

Titans went 50+ minutes without scoring a touchdown, don't get me started on D.Henry and how bad he played.
Bears got embarrassed, no TDs in 60 minutes (honestly id rather had Murray on one leg), the one-armed, garbage time TD Graham caught, which was after the timer went to zero, gave me one of the luckiest and undeserving wins i have ever had.

So question is, will the Steelers go touchdownless today? Cheesy

Kareem Hunt! Wow, nice run there, carrying three guys into the endzone. No coach? No problem, eleven minutes into the first quarter and they're up 21 to zilch!

Yeah coaching is overrated.

Steelers should let Rudolph in, he was more successful against Browns last week...

Ravens putting pressure on the Titans. Looking like this one might come down to the last drive of the game. With less than 5 minutes to go and a 7 point lead, this is shaping up to be a good candidate for overtime. Great wildcard game!

I was rooting for the titans that last drive, if they would have scored, then the Ravens would have been forced to counter, and I would have won my bet.

Thanks, Marcus Peters! Angry

No offense to Browns fans, if there are any.

Lol, there must still be some holdouts out there. I'll win my three-game parlay for today if Browns cover +10.5, so I'm rooting for them but I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a "fan."

Only 1 more game to go and I can win my 4-game parlay (the 6-game died in game #2). Of all the games I thought this would be the closest... who knows what version of the Steelers is gonna show up. Browns don't have a head coach -- wondering how that's gonna play into things. Steelers were comfortable resting their starters last week; comfortable enough to lose. Let's hope the week of rest and their plan pays off! No offense to Browns fans, if there are any.
