Home quarterbacks have a lot to prove this week...

OBV Bills over chiefs, F*ck the Chiefs. then the underdogs for the most part except Lions over Buccs.

I got Niners, Ravens, Bucs, Bills. Ravens and Niners cover.

i'll pick the ravens, chiefs, niners, and lions

SF-GB... The Pack are a fun underdog story and Love has been playing really well that last half of the season. I just don't think they have the guys to match up with San Francisco for four quarters. Shanahan has outcoached his disciple LaFleur twice in the playoffs so far, and with a lot less talent than this 49ers team has now....SF 31-17.

DET-TB... I think TB is sneaky good. Their skill players on offense are top-tier, their DL and LBs are full of stars. It's really all about Mayfield and if he's going to get them over the top. I don't think he has enough to get past Detroit, especially with the Lions being so tough at home with that crazy crowd. There's potential for a Goff screwup at any time, but I think he's got this one with a lot of help from his talented supporting cast..DET 27- 21.

BUF-KC... I'm predicting this will be the funnest, wildest game of the day. I see Josh Allen being all over the place, with like 3 turnovers and 400 yards passing. KC's offense will be ready in the bright lights and Mahomes will play like a superstar. Anything can happen in this game, but I think BUF has more plays in them and will come out on top at home. BUF 38-28.

BAL-HOU...Houston is super well-coached with Demeco and Slowik. Stroud is getting better every single week. They know they aren't supposed to be here and will play loose as a result. I think this is my upset of the week, as Lamar reverts back to playoff Lamar and they meet a hot team at the wrong time. HOU 24-17.

If Niners somehow lose NFC super bowl rep will be weird as hell. Lions, Baker, or Jordan Love.

I wouldn't mind seeing a Detroit/Buffalo SB in all honesty - it'd be kinda refreshing and either way one of those long suffering fan bases would be rewarded.

Obviously I'd rather see the Texans win it all but I don't think they get past Baltimore. I hope they make it a good game though.

I should note I want the Swifts to lose no matter what.

It will be Purdy vs. Baker for the super bowl, imagine this year and a half ago lol. Bucs probably better in every aspect except for the run game, Baker looks very confident. If he can handle the crowd pressure Bucs will roll.

What is everyone's thoughts on rest vs rust for the Ravens?

They had a bye week last week and none of the key guys played in the final week of the regular season either.

Look at the other side and the Texans are in a rhythm. They played their wildcard game last week and had a must win thr final week of the regular season too.

So will the time off impact the Ravens or having been rested for 2 weeks, they will come out and be ready to role in the divisional round?

I wont predict them to win but I could easily see the Texans making it a game or even pulling off an upset. I think Texans already have the better quarterback, they are outmatched in pretty much every other area but sometimes having a great quarterback is enough.

Certainly this is one game I wouldnt put money on.

Ravens famously got punished for resting their players and seems it is not a good idea to rest this much, but sample size isnt big enough to make a certain determination.

Is Baker the best deal in NFL not including the rookie scale contracts? I'd like to think so ahaha

Here we go!!
Let's start this round of football!!
As Borat used to say...
EXCITE!

Awesome for fans of vintage 1970s warplanes that they had A-10s fly over.

Probably. I don't know who the other contenders are but having an above-average quarterback for $4 million is very difficult to beat, likely not even close. Of course if your quarterback is on a good contract that means you'll have to pay him as soon as his contract is up, which for Bucs, is this off season.

Ravens D came to play

Man, he set that return up perfect.

how do you give up a punt return td from the center

they must've scouted them and seen a weakness. Wow, they took advantage
