The score on the Bears vs. the Packers has become 27-16. It appears that I have overestimated the homefield advantage for this because I was speculating that the cheers of the fans might have more positive effect in the Bear because this game is a playoff in their own homefield! I thought the Bears had a chance when it was 21-16.

A good performance from the Packers.

Quite a surprising outcome, I didn't think The Bears had it in them..

[bbc.reporter]

@Hueristic. I was very much shocked. I stopped watching the game after I posted in the thread. I checked the final score maybe 2 hours later and I was shaking my head on how the Bear had the victory with only a short amount of time left for the game hehehehe.

I reckon it was the fans' very loud powerful cheers of the homefield hehe.

I watched every minute of all 3 games and wasn't disappointed, even if I got my parlay busted in the first game (I picked Jaguars, Eagles & Pats ML). It was highly entertaining; among the more memorable moments were 2 wildcard plays where the receiver passed to the QB (one worked, the other didn't). I know I'm biased but Rams are looking good from here on out, they have the most playoffs experience of any remaining playoff team.

I want Steelers to win tomorrow but am not feeling confident about it. Speaking of experience, I can't help but think Aaron Rodgers has a chance to win here.

New England was the shocker for me. Not because they won, but the dominated the Chargers and held them to 1 fg!!! Amazing performance and IMO solidified their season no matter what happens from here on out.

These are the ratings on who will win the superbowl in Polymarket. I reckon that the Denver Broncos is very much underestimated with a rating of only 10%. However, if they are victorious against the Bills, this rating might pump to 25%.

On their game, the Broncos is only -1. This might be another underestimation because the game will near the mountains of Denver heheheh. On 4th quarter, the Bills' stamina might become low.



On the Seahawk vs. the 49ers, these are teams from the same division and the 49ers is the underdog. Will the 49ers play like demons and fight similarly like the Fremen warriors heheheheheh?

Buffalo vs Denver is going to be a weird game. Denver doesn't get started til the 4th quarter usually and Buffalo we never know what team is going to show up. The edge goes to Denver being a home game, but this is supposed to be the year Josh Allen wins a superbowl with no Mahomes, Burrow, or Lamar in the mix. Personally I like Houston or Seattle as they are tough as hell defensively, teams are gonna have a hard time scoring vs them.

So the results are in and we move on to the Real Playoffs. I was tempted to bet on the Steelers to cover, obviously glad I didn't... they had no chance. The only real upset was the Niners beating the Eagles, DW has to be pretty happy about that.

Without overthinking it, I like Bills, Pats, Seahawks, Rams.

If you'd like to get a bit more NFL gambling fix while you can, I'm hosting a playoffs + Super Bowl prediction contest over here. The only requirement is you need a Yeet.com account.

[bbc.reporter]

@nutildah. I agree on your prediction on the Seahawks, however, considering that this is a divisional game in the playoff and considering that because of this the underdog 49ers will play like demons, do you think that the Seahawks will win against the spread of -7.5?

I'm gonna wait until tomorrow before I really start looking into it. But it does seem like a big number.

If you bet on Bills, Pats, Seahawks, Rams ML it pays about 15:1 so I'm pretty sure I'm gonna throw at least a few bucks at that. The hardest game will be the Bills as the Broncs are still 1 to 1.5 pt favorites. There's just something about having post season experience that I think will give the Bills the edge. Who knows.

[bbc.reporter]

@nutildah. I reckon everyone is always mentioning and praising the defense of the Seahawk, however, they might have forgotten that the defense of the 49ers is also very good. What might occur for this game is the 49ers will have the leading score on the 1st and the 2nd quarters and Kyle Shanahan will control the game through control clock tactics and gameflow tactics. If they will lose, they might not lose by more than 7 points.

I ended up taking the Broncos in a 4-game ML parlay:

Broncos
Patriots
Seahawks
Rams

Not a huge payout (+461) but I'm feeling pretty good about it. The more I looked into it, the more things the Bills have against them: less rest, more travel time, and more injuries. The one thing they have going for them is experience. But its a Denver home game and I think they will win by 3+. All the other games are uncontested IMO but of course anything can happen.

NIX out for the season, you gamblers might want to get your bets in before all the lines change. I'm calling the Pats for the SB now!

I'm not 100% sure the Patriots can beat Houston. Gonna be a low scoring battle I think. Patriots have the better offense and Houston the much better defense. If Houstons D can get 2 takeaways the Pats are in trouble. Whichever team wins the game though will beat the pants off the Broncos without Nix. That kills them.

Patriots favored by 3 and the over/under is 40.5. If the pats can move the ball they'll be fine as Houston will be missing Nico Collins due to a concussion he suffered in last weeks game, but if Houston's defense can penetrate the O line and get to Maye, it's gonna be a very ugly game for Maye.

Alright, I'm halfway through it, with (what I think) was the toughest game out of the way. But at what cost. Poor Bo Nix. He out-poised Josh Allen through much of the showdown, dropping absolute dimes late in the game, when it really mattered. Guess he's done now which really affects Super Bowl odds going forward. Rams & Hawks bumped up immediately.

I put a little on Pats -3 but its not great odds, wants to lean to -3.5 by now. If Maye falters under pressure the Texans have a good chance of causing some turnovers, but I don't think its enough to overcome the home field advantage.

My thoughts were the odds of the pats winning it all should have been the longest odds and getting a small piece of that before the line changed was a good idea.

I could be wrong as I don't follow the odds, but that was my guess.


LOVE football in the Snow!

Hope starts really coming down!

The superbowl or only the conference? Also, how will Broncos perform without Bo Nix? Will this be only bad or will this be very bad? I am considering selling my Polymarket yes tokens on Broncos to win the superbowl with a small profit heheheheh.

I was also very much mistaken in the 49ers. It appears that for me this might be the superbowl for the winner of the NFC, Rams or Seahawks.

Both but i'm sure its too late now to take advantage of that advanced knowledge. Lines move fast.

I have no clue how Kmet was that open with 2 defenders to tie the game, looked Sus.
