NFL Playoffs

[wheelz1200]

Starting this to talk about nfl playoffs

Last night thought I had that chargers game in the bag.  What a comeback by jags :/

Today I got my squad giants +3 and tonight locking in the Bengals.  Just dont think ravens can match up without Lamar going.  Tomorrow I'm leaning Brady and the bucs but will hold off for now.

Who does everyone have today??

Was a heck of a weekend of games that for sure.  I have to say I didn't expect the Giants to beat the Vikings, but I did know there was a chance.  I don't see them advancing after this round however..though I'm guessing you don't either. 

The Chargers, what an embarrassment.  I would be furious as a Chargers fan, to blow that type of lead, man.  The game tonight should be incredible though.  Bucs vs Cowboys.  I feel like they are a pretty even team in terms of talent level, I could see it go either way but I'm putting some bucks on the bucs, pun intended lol.

I somewhat agree with it being a close game. If i'm putting money between the two i'd go for the Cowboys since they look better on paper but it's tough to bet against Brady and the Bucs as it's not easy to count them out no matter what.

My only confident bet for this game is for Dak to throw an INT because throughout the season he usually gets at least one.

I can't believe people are putting money on the Bucs. Have ya'll not seen how pathetic they looked this season? They have a terrible O line, can't run the ball and their D is average at best. Tom Brady is having a bad season by his high standards. I think the Cowboys will win this comfortably.

I hope you saw my previous comment. I knew this wouldn't be close. Bucs have been a disaster and this was an easy game to bet on. I hope you get your bet but I can't see the Bucs getting an intercept with this pathetic pass rush.

Unfortunately, I didn't see your comment earlier but it does look like the prop bet won't hit anytime soon when the Cowboys are finding a lot of success with the pass rush and the Bucs defense can't stop most of their plays.

But I still placed a bet on the Cowboys -2.5 spread earlier so that would at least help alleviate some of my losses on the prop bet.

At least Cowboys covered the spread for you!

I knew Bucs wouldn't win. The O line is so bad and they can't run the ball to save their lives. Tom Brady is the undisputed GOAT but I hope this is his last season. He is no longer the same player and has nothing left to prove.

New week new playoff round.  What's everyone thinking as of today?

So far like the giants +7.5, division rivals always play tight in playoffs.  Still not sure if jalen hurts shoulder is OK.

I like the under in the cowboys and sf game.  Shoukd be a defensive dog fight.

Then gimme my SB pick and the KC Chiefs to win against Jax and then....

Bills/Bengals, I just can't decide here.  This is going to be the best game of the weekend I think right here.  Between the cheifs/bills/Bengals I can see playoffs involving them for the next 5-10 years.

These are going to be some good games this coming weekend.  Especially Dallas Cowboys vs the San Fran 49-Niners and The Buffalo Bills vs Cincy Bengals. 

If I had to make bets on each game, I would probably take the Chiefs at -8.5 over the Jags.  I would take the Eagles over the Giants at -7.5 (sorry bud lol), I'll take Cincy Bengals at +5.5, and the I can't decide on the Niners vs Cowboys.  Both those teams are hot, and I feel pretty evenly matched.  If I had to guess, I would take the Niners a -3.5. 

My Super Bowl pick is San Fran vs KC.

Tomorrow I'm leaning Brady and the bucs but will hold off for now.

Although, I didn't follow the 2022 season closely. From an outsider's perspective, it seems Tom Brady hasn't performed well since his divorce around november 2022.

It is possible Tom Brady made an agreement with his wife to retire from the game prior to the 2022 NFL season. An agreement which Tom Brady broke, resulting in his wife divorcing him. This might be seen in Brady officially announcing his retirement from the game. Having a stable relationship and family life can have a significant impact on the performance of athletes. There are many professional athletes who were never the same after a break up or divorce. At the moment, I'm wondering if Brady might be one of those whose NFL career will never recover.

Jacksonville making it past round 1 was a surprise. They have had a losing record for most of the years I've followed NFL.

I'm hoping Josh Allen and the bills make it to the superbowl. I like his style of leaving it all on the field.

Brady should have retired after his last super bowl ring. What more has he got to prove? MVP's, All-Pro teams, SuperBowls, money, health etc. He also signed a $400M contract with Fox to be their commentator. He doesn't have the same passion and the GOAT should retire.

I don't blame you for taking the eagles.  They are a machine this year.  They can easily just blow out the giants.  But giants played them to a 1 score loss with our 2nd team on the field when eagles needed to win.  Beating the same team 3 times in a season is always tough.  Hoping for a tight game in the end just don't want to see a boring blowout.  Giants already exceeded my expectations for the year.

New week new playoff round.  What's everyone thinking as of today?

If i'm taking a single bet i'd also go for the Giants +7.5 but I prefer the Eagles ML and then maybe parlay it with the Chiefs -6.5.

The under in the Cowboys vs Niners game seems like a trap to me after most of the games last week went over but i'll take the Niners over the Cowboys if i'm going to bet on that game.

For the Bills vs Bengals game, I like the Bengals over 20.5, and Bengals +3.5 spread since I lost my confidence in the Bills after they barely won against the Dolphins.

[MiliMil]

I really like Jaguars +8.5.

I think it'll be a high scoring game but will be close.

The chiefs secondary is pathetic and Trevor Lawrence should be able to throw for a lot of yards.

I also like Dak Prescott to throw an intercept against the 49ers who have a ferocious pass rush and good DB's.

[wheelz1200]

I went with the Jags with the points here as well as the kc ML.  With mahomes out (don't know if he is coming back in) could be a closer game.  And then I had to take the giants, Homer fan but they got the whole 2007 vibe going on.  In Philly is gonna be a tough game but I like theor chances.  

[ChiBitCTy]

I did pretty well betting this weekend.  I for some reason decided not to bet any of the Saturday games, but played both Sunday games.  I had the Cincy Bengals at +5.5 I think it was, and the Niners at -3.5.  I felt really good about Cincy so I'm kicking myself for not putting a whole lot more on them. 

Got Cincy at +1 last night.  They are at -1.5 now, trying to figure out how to play this.  I think they will beat the Chiefs, but just don't know how much more the line might move.

Care to bet 5 merit against me in the Chiefs/Bengals game?

Beware I am 2/2 in the tips posted above!

I stayed away from the Giants game. Division matchups are full of surprises.

In saying that, I am shocked at the lack of offense the Giants showed. Were the Eagles that good or the Giants that bad?

As a NYG fan you have to be happy with your first season under Daboll? Some encouraging signs for sure.

The Eagles have pretty much punched their ticket to the superbowl. San Fransisco was pretty much done when they lost Purdy.

Looking forward to cincy beating Mahomes and the Cheifs for the 4th time.

Oh yeah once Purdy went down their chances were over.  It's crazy enough that he was their third string quarterback..no way a 4th string was going to come in and do much damage.  Now we know it was a major injury that's going to put him out for six months.  Can't wait to see what they do at quarterback going forward.

Yeah I was looking forward to Cincy beating Mahomes and the Chiefs too but that unfortunately didn't happen.  Hopefully Mahomes is healthy enough to be himself, or at least 90% of himself for the Super Bowl.

The Bengals had all the momentum.

They were literally one play away from winning but their O line is pathetic.

P.S Chris Jones is an absolute monster and game-wrecker.
