That's why odds are so one sided against the Browns and Steelers i'm tempted to include the moneyline odds in a parlay but it's probably best to skip them.

I think the Steelers are pretty much locked into the third seed unless the Bills lose to the Finns, but I think everyone sees that as unlikely. If the Bills win, the Steelers have nothing to play for.

Another scenario would be the Ravens losing against the Bengals then the Browns will get the sixth seed since the Dolphins wins the tiebreaker.

Yeah it is but I dont think the Ravens are going to come anywhere close to losing this game. They are my darkhorse in the playoffs. They are playing as good as any team is right now. Ever since lamar came back from the covid time off he has been money.

Unless Bucs get to the Super Bowl, now that would probably light him on fire.

ROFLOL! I didn't factor that in, good call.

Is this a Tom Brady inside joke or is there a possibility that Belichick will follow Brady to Tampa Bay?

I just read that Ben Roethlisberger is going to sit out Sunday's game, the Steelers are starting Mason Rudolph. I don't know enough about Rudolph to know if that's a good or bad thing for the Steelers, but it's starting to look like the Browns will take the win on Sunday.

This is part 2! I hope it will be as action packed similar to their last game on the field together hehehe.

@Hueristic. Hehehe, you are also expecting an action packed game, yes?

They've already said Big Ben is going to sit, stay away from Browns/Steelers next week, will be a coin flip.

If Browns win, Steelers are likely play them again the following week in the wildcard game, which I think they prefer so this looks like a done deal.

While at least one team with 10+ wins will miss the playoffs. This whole "division winner gets to playoffs no matter how much they suck" thing is messed up.

It's essentially the "electoral college" of the NFL Grin

...the Rams themselves basically don't have to care about W or L against the Cardinals regarding their PO spot, as long as GB beats CHI.

Jared Goff had to have surgery on his thumb, it was broken during the game against the Seahawks. Looks like he'll be out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. I doubt McVay is going to put his trust in another team to get him to the playoffs, so I suspect they'll be fighting hard nonetheless. With the Bears playing lights-out the way they've been the last couple of weeks, I don't think he's that confident with a loss. It's hard to see the Packers losing that game, but anything can happen.

So will be week 17 and with the Giants being 5-10 they have a real good shot at winning the division 😂.

With philly being out and the WFT might be going with Taylor Heinicke it might come down to the winner of the giants Dallas game. SMH lol.

Happens with all sports this is just really bad. No way they can absolve that without throwing out divisions. Good thing that comes of it is a wild card team wins it all sometimes (last 2 giants superbowl wins they were wild card entrants with a sub par record.)

Tompa Bay likely to have the easiest matchup, @ NYG/DAL/ or WFT.

Talk about lucky, but I suppose Brady does not want to face the NYG on a playoff game ever again.

Quote from: suchmoon on December 28, 2020, 11:39:50 PM

He seemed really pissed - more than usual - during the game about that failed challenge.

I don't see why he needs to aggravate himself for the next 3-4 years until Patriots are a decent team again, and that's assuming they won't make any more hire/trade/draft blunders. He probably made some decent money during the golden years, could just go out on top. Unless Bucs get to the Super Bowl, now that would probably light him on fire.

In my opinion this is key, this is for the most part an ego thing, for years casual fans have wondered who was the biggest factor on the NE dynasty, was it Brady? Was it Belichick? Obviously common sense says it was both but casual fans are not happy with that, they want to know the answer to that question, and if Belichick were to retire now we will remember his last season without Brady being a completely disaster on the offensive side of the ball while Brady is doing well at TB, he is not elite but I will put him in the Top 10 QBs on the NFL and most likely he will win a playoff game when facing whoever wins the NFC East, which will switch public opinion on his favour and Belichick does not want that.

(...) the Rams can still make the playoffs even with a loss, but they need the Bears to beat Green Bay in Chicago, which would mean GB will lose the number one seed (bye) and have to play the Bears at home in a wc game.

...the Rams themselves basically don't have to care about W or L against the Cardinals regarding their PO spot, as long as GB beats CHI. If that happens, it's just about the better seed for them, where a W will send them to Seattle most likely and a L to New Orleans. I think they would rather play at Seattle and they don't want the Cardinals in PO's of course.

Packers can only lose the 1st seed to Seattle (playing @49ers), not to the Saints. But since these games are played at the same time, GB will give 100% - and in a divisional matchup, where they can crash the PO hopes of a rival, anyway.

I've been playing around with the 'NFL Playoff Machine' for the last half an hour to see all possible outcomes and a few things i noticed; the Rams can still make the playoffs even with a loss, but they need the Bears to beat Green Bay in Chicago, which would mean GB will lose the number one seed (bye) and have to play the Bears at home in a wc game.

Cardinals will go through only with a win in LA, i still can't believe they fall apart at home vs. 49ers last week, but they still have a chance, Goff is not playing, Darrell Henderson Jr. is out, i'm not sure about Akers, so Rams will be seriously depleted for this one. Imagine if they don't make the PO because of that embarrassing loss to the Jets???

Tompa Bay likely to have the easiest matchup, @ NYG/DAL/ or WFT.

I stand corrected, lucky Rams then, i don't see Trubisky pulling this one off.

Do we know who'll be the Patriots coach next year? I'm watching Belichick's press conference, and the dude seems dejected. Like he's over it. What are the odds he'll retire at the end of this season?

Something specific he said during the interview; "they were better in every phase of the game," then went on to list offence, defense, ST, coaching... It was the way he stressed "coaching."
