Will be interesting to see the Houston/KC line. Can Houston D play to that level again, or are they happy with the underdog win and just accept their fate?

 

 

It's already up 

 KC -7 1/2       43 1/2

also

Buffalo -1 1/2               52 1/2 

 

But those might not be the actual numbers we use. I post our numbers between 8-10 AM Eastern every Monday morning, but it gives you an idea TL.

DIPs are 3-5 with 1 still in play (I think). In hindsight, going with the Chargers and Herbert over Buffalo and Allen..

There’s virtually nothing I like about the Eagles, but that sax solo Anthem was great.

Chargers were an "easy" pick not because of them, but more against Houston which has looked pretty mediocre.  I can see being against public and going with Houston at home getting 3, but no way anyone expected the defense to completely shutdown the Chargers.  It wasn't even that special of a defensive scheme; the surprising part was the Chargers coaching had zero answer to counter the aggressive D.

 

Herbert still has a great arm, her only threw 3 picks all year (until yesterday).  They just didn't have an answer for Houston bringing the pressure.  Maybe next time...

 

Still expect the usual Houston to show up in KC.

[Triple Lindy]

Good grief. Brady says “absolutely clean hit” on the KO fumble - “hit right on the ball” - when every replay shows helmet to helmet. Or am I missing something?

I hear you, but the Chargers do this all the time, especially in the playoffs. That’s what I was really referring to - trust factor.

It was helmet to helmet and also it looked to me that it should have been Green Bay ball.

Exactly why I went Over. Just couldn’t pick the Eagles. So the fumble, with the missed call, hopefully helped that cause.

I better get plentiful TD's in the next game or I am going to ask the NFL for a refund.

One of the best runs of the weekend so far. Wow !

 

C'mon Packers it's time for your First damn TD! 

 

4th Quarter time.

With how fabulous you are doing with Totals are you sure you want to leave your Pick for the night game alone?  It isn't a total. 😄

I am truly digging the way you are tabulating the pick results...looks great and please keep it up!

Since it's my last year at the controls I thought I would do something different this Playoffs season.

Thank you NCL.

That's wasn't exactly playoff winning football play calling by the cheese.  3rd and 3 run, 4th and 3 high sideline pass?!?!

[CasualLie]

Hmmm... Eagles kick FG, Pack gets a TD off Philly prevent D, lose bet by the hook.

[touch]

* Important message. 

 

Because of needing the results from tomorrow night's game before the Lines for Next Week can be complete I will NOT be posting Next Week's Lines until Tuesday Morning between 8-10 AM Eastern Time. 

 

In the meantime study up on how we will be doing the 2nd Week of the Playoffs. 

A few things change including the Point Values. 

 

 

Week 2 - Divisional Round 

Pick a side AND an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed.

Each winning pick is worth 15 points. A loss is 0 points. A push is 5.

If you hit a DIP it is 30 points won. If you lose it's -15 points. A push is 5. 

 

* The Double It Play (always optional) at this point will be over after Week 2. There is no DIP play involved during the final two weeks. 

[CasualLie]

@touch please move my DIP from tonight's game to tomorrow.  Thanks!

 

Here you go!  You owe me $12.

Wasn't it you who earlier said Denver and Green Bay never stood a chance today and they should be happy just to be in One Playoff Game? 

 

I say that sums it up well.
