I don't see the colts making it. Luck is great but I feel his team around him will let him down. His only good player is Ebron. I think the charger will beat the Ravens

Andy Reid will mess it up. He's famous for that. Luck has been here before. He'll drag his team to the finals. I don't see any scenario where the Chargers beat the Ravens.

I mean, the last time Luck was in the playoffs, people started complaining about deflated footballs. I don't trust him to carry a team in deep.

Like the rest, I really like Mahomes. He's got a new play style that fits into the new rules of the League. He runs, he makes impossible plays and performs in the clutch. He just needs a bit of fine-tuning when it comes to carrying a drive, clock management, and keeping the ball. All can be pulled together with some decent coaching to make a very special quarterback. Sure, their defense is atrocious, but that just makes the games all that much more interesting.

There's a dramatic part of me that wants to see the Patriots go in to take on the Chiefs in Arrowhead. The Pats won the game in Gillette, seems only fitting that the next game happen in the Chiefs home. The drama of the old guard QB running up against the new up and comer for the division title. Either the new guy gets put back in his place, or the old-timer passes along the torch.

I know, like with the Vikings last year, not everything is meant to be and what would make the most dramatic ending isn't always what ends up happening. Still, it's what I want to see.

Should be an interesting post-season :D

All the games this weekend should be good. No Osweiler, Bortles, or Hoyer type nightmares.

Well then. There goes the bears.

Chargers put on a D clinic. Highly impressive, especially the DB formations that took away Lamar Jackson's ability to run.

Made me laugh.

Any predictions? I fancy the Colts and Rams today.

Colts and Rams today. I'm actually favoring the visiting AFC teams and the home NFC teams. Partially local bias for the Rams and Chargers, but partially that I think they have what it takes.

[Deamonbane]

There are a lot of jokes about Andrew Luck choking around right about now...

[Lady Sakura]

So much for a good game...lame. Hopefully tomorrows game proves better.

Go Pats! 

[Zaphod]

I'm officially rooting for the Chargers today though I fear the Pats will find some trickery to win.

[Ziether]

It's 16° (F) on the field at Gillette. That's bad news for the Bolts. I'm rooting for an All-L.A. Super Bowl, but I fear the weather in Massachusetts may hamper the chances of that. Those Chargers are dangerous if they get a chance to catch their stride

Sorry, Colts aren't around anymore to complain about deflated footballs ;)

I'm really happy Romo is commentating this game.

James White aka BooBoo for the win!

The Mighty Squirrel brought his nuts today!!

[Zaphod]

Has Gronk forgotten how to catch? Only blocking today. Is he still in Billy B's doghouse? :P

[Nico]

Go Pats.

This is all. XD

[Zaphod]

Nic, you too!? Why?  :D

[Nico]

He does what he is told! Him blocking plus Oline = Brady Magic!

Go Pats.

This is all. XD

[Lady Sakura]

I know I'm so proud 😭

[Zaphod]

I know I'm so proud 😭

They peaked early. :P

[Deamonbane]

Gronk caught one for 25, though they probably want to avoid him taking any big hits until they're in Arrowhead. He played a huge game against KC in the season and I think he will again next week.

Edit:

[Lady Sakura]

Go Saints now!

[Zaphod]

Looks like it's going to be zero degrees during kickoff at KC. Advantage Pats?  :o
