Falcons
Pats
Steelers
Saints

I want to root for my Eagles but St Nick doesn’t look good at all lol. Only way Eagles win is if Falcons really struggle.

Falcons, Patriots, Steelers, and Saints all advance. I'll be pulling hard for the Jags this weekend though.

Philly owned us last season without Wentz doing much. If we can't defend their run game and Ajayi better than we have in the past then Foles will be able to pick his spots and get comfortable. But play another clean game and tackle like we did against Gurley and I feel good about moving on.

Basically how I feel too.
The Philly defense and their run game concerns me. Our Falcons might be favored to win by 3 points but that's a big number to achieve considering the game is on the road. Let's hope for the WIN!

o It is going to be cold but Falcons over Eagles
o Saints over Vikings...too much pressure on Case Keenum with that playoffs debut, at home.
o Patriots over Titans...it would be the biggest upset in NFL history if the Titans win...they should not even be in Foxboro
o we laughed at Bortles but now he has absolutely zero pressure in this game, his season became a total success with that WCard's win. Let it fly :lol: Blake, Jaguars upset Steelers! no way AB is 100%!!

Think Foles does enough to keep us in it. Up to the d-line to take over the game and win it for us.
I'd give the Saints more of a chance if they closed out last weeks game better.
The two AFC matchups are meh on paper. Hard to see the inevitable matchup happening.

I wouldn't be shocked if we had two or three upsets this week.

I would. Not that I know anything.

I will be utterly stunned if there are any upsets in the AFC. And - Vikings defense is just better than the Panthers defense. Let's see if Brees carves them up like he did Carolina's secondary.

This spread is smaller than one of the biggest upsets in playoff history which kicked off the Brady/Belichick era...

Kill me.

Looks like he might even be the favorite to land the job with his connection to Linehan.

A source said Tom Cable, who was fired by the Seattle Seahawks and was a college teammate of offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, is also a candidate.


:lol:

If he is the choice, at least you have those 3 Pro-Bowlers already in place. So, he actually has talent to work with. But, just don't let him pick & choose lineman in the draft (Awful track record). He prioritizes having lineman who are good at run blocking over those who can actually Pass block well. Which is why his teams have always given up a lot of sacks. This was the case even before he came to Seattle. So, Dak could be running for his life quite a bit (like Wilson). :wink:

Remember... the Raiders are the other team I follow. I was familiar with his useless well before he landed in your backyard.
