Official Divisional Round Weekend Thread
 

Starting a thread for the games. Here are my thoughts:

Bills @ Donks - Heart again is with the Bills. Not quite sure where my head is but ending up taking the Donks at -1.5.

9ers @ SEA - Heart in neutral on this one. Very confident that SEA wins (especially w/ Kittle out), but they're at -7. Still went ahead and took them laying the points.

Texicans @ Cheats - Would like to see HOU win (gah), but don't see it happening. Taking that Cheats at -3

LAR @ Dabears - Most intriguing matchup of the weekend IMO as the teams are polar opposites. The Rams consistently jump on teams early and then completely blow their leads in the 2nd half. While the Bears consistently fall behind by double digits only to storm back in the 2nd half. Since they're at home I'm taking Dabears at +4.

Can Josh Allen’s Postseason Magic Continue Without a No. 1 WR ???

First game is a great one

Refs inserting themselves. I spoke too soon.

Never mind. The second angle was clear DPI

Seahawks with fireworks to start the game.

I want to say Buffalo's window just closed, but they still have Josh Allen, so maybe it was McDermott's window.

Seahawks rolling so far. 2nd quarter. 17-0

This game is no contest

I had a family commitment to attend so unfortunately missed the Buff-Donks game. I also missed most of the 9ers-SEA game; didn’t miss much there. Happy to report that I went 3-3 on my bets.

I really hate to see Nix get hurt. Mostly bc this gives the Cheats an easier path to the Super Bowl. I’m going to have to double up on betting them today to nudge the football gods……

I am not sure they get past Houston's defense. However, Stroud likes to give the ball to his opponent, so there is that.

Good point. Just put some money on the under as well (41).

As predicted, Stroud just gave the Cheats a TD

C.J. Stroud has 7 turnovers in 1 and-a-half playoff games so far (5 INT's and 2 Lost Fumbles.)

I hate all Boston teams because of their fans, but if Alec Pierce gets an offer from them, he should definitely take it. He's wasting his time with the Colts. Pats are a very promising young team, even though I hate them. Rebuilt and already Superbowl contenders.
Stroud is a average with a defense carrying him. Ohio State trash

Just got to watching at the start of the 2nd half. HOU’s D must be playing well for them to only be down 8 after all of Stroud’s TOs.

Stroud is average at best. But he's young and better than anyone we have. I wish we were in New England's place. A rebuilt young team that looks primed for multiple Superbowl appearances.
But we'll be 7-10 next year

Well shit. Shouldn’t have bet the under :cool:

I would have, but Stroud keeps gifting the Cheats extra possessions.

Stroud looks like the guy the pundits said would be a bust because he is not that smart.

Patriots completely tore down and rebuilt after losing a HOF coach, HOF QB and dynasty. And now they're back and probably going to the Superbowl. Meanwhile, the Colts have done nothing. We're miles and miles behind.

Yep, it fucking SUCKS. Cheat their way to 6 championships*, have a couple of bad years, and now they’re back to being one of the best teams in the league. Proves the football gods don’t care about karma.

Also, why is Diggs playing? Shouldn’t he be suspended for beating up and choking some lady?

Proves their football management/desire to win is far better than ours. Diggs should be replaced by Alec Pierce if he gets an offer and is smart. Or they could find better with fewer concussions and maybe cheaper. In any case, they're miles better than us again. Makes me sick.
