Chargers have similar strengths and weaknesses to ours. I actually think the Ravens would have presented a trickier matchup. Here's to hoping the Colts can knock off the Chiefs. I am not confident in our ability to beat the Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes is the Steph Curry of the NFL. I am serious, they even look similar and Mahomes scores TDs as easy as Curry always has made 3's. Mahomes will get the MVP probably. Only think that may hurt him this postseason is a lack of experience in big games.

[K For Three]

Holy crap!!!!!!!!

Nick Foles really is "that guy". He's like the Kyrie Irving of the NFL in the clutch or something. Might fart around for an entire game but in the end it's like you want the ball in his hands for something to happen.





OMG Bears choked!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Missed FG holy *****.

NFC playoffs has been fantastic so far. That FG miss was crazy.......

[Jakeopp]

As a Green Bay fan,

Thanks to Nick Foles and the Eagles for making the Bears loss as painful as possible for them and their fans. I would have been happy with a blowout too, but watching them choke on a FG felt even better

As long as the Cowboys lose next week I'll be happy with any result in the Superbowl. Although I wouldn't mind a team other than NE making it in the AFC (sorry guys, it gets a little old after a while )

Chiefs defense will be what holds them back. They look a lot like Packer teams from past years. Incredible offense and quarterback play, but a defense that won't hold up against playoff offenses. I'd be surprised if they win it all, but Mahomes is playing as well as any QB in the league so they'll have a shot.

I am pretty torn on the Chiefs, have to see how they do vs. the Colts first to get a feel for them in a big game in the Mahomes era. Luck does have playoff experience on the road.....
But Luck also can make those really bad one or two blunders a game.

The Chiefs D isn't too good I agree.


I am really interested in Saints/Eagles. Saints should win but Nick Foles man........

That Bears FG miss was INSANE. Like literally I think it bounced 3 times?

Yeah that kick was pretty stressful for me I wasn't sure what I was seeing until it landed in the endzone, at first it looked like it might bounce through the uprights.

Pretty rough for the kicker to let down his whole team like that, but that's the life of an NFL kicker unless you're Adam Vinatieri and never miss clutch kicks

Yeah but they're capable enough on D to give us some issues provided time to prepare. I just see them overpowering our defense and I don't like our chances so much in a shootout. Our offense doesn't look the same as it has in years past, and our defense isn't what it was back in Brady's early days.

Nick Foles is some kind of Christian Satanic wonder. What black magic he had to do with Jesus to be this clutch I do not know. Ever since that Cowboys game years back I knew he was a special dude. I knew we would lose that superbowl last year as soon as we knew we were playing them.

Phone has been going off all night with my friends rubbing the win in and the Patriots didnt even play/I said the Eagles would win. Smh I hate the Eagles now lol. I need to move back to Boston.

[Curmudgeon]

That missed kick will be on sportscenter for decades. Too painful to watch. I'm not a Bears fan, but I was rooting for them. O well, at least the Ravens lost.

[ThumbsUpBaby]

I love all my fellow Celtics. I have gone through thick and thin with you guys, and have bled green for pretty much my whole life. With that said, I have nothing against Tom Brady and the Patriots. But 1/13 will be the exception. Sorry guys, just for one day you guys will have to be my enemies.

GO CHARGERS. REVENGE GAME FOR PHIL, ANTONIO, AND THE BOLTS.

Not before March, you stay right there.

[BillTheGOAT]

Should be an easy game against the Chargers, two score win 26-14. Chargers are a fraudulent team, Rivers is a career choker, never beaten Brady.

Going to that game in March. Apparently my gf got us killer seats. maybe 10 rows back from courtside.

I think it has potential to be a good game between two veteran QBs.

As usual I picked the Pats to go to the SB by default, but any loss in the playoffs wouldn't shock me either since I don't have full faith in this NE team this year.

Chargers are an interesting team and a bit underrated as a 12-4 WC team. They technically this season have not lost a game outside of LA. The one "road loss" was to the Rams in LA early in the season. They have won some good road games this year in KC, Pittsburgh and Seattle. They are road warriors. And on the flip side, Pats have not lost at home this season so something has to give.

The weak fan experience for the LA teams in LA seems to make it almost easier for the Chargers to feed off of energy on the road, I don't know...

Chargers pass rush is more then capable of giving the Pats issues. On the flip side Pats need to generate some heat on Rivers.

I favor Pats at home but I would not bet on it either.

My only reservation about Saints/Pats is that Brady is 41 and Brees turns 40 on Jan 15th. Two 40 year old QBs in the SB would be something, but historically difficult to imagine as well.

Eagles will beat the Saints with their dark magic.

No idea what will go down in the AFC.

I tend to agree to an extent here. Thats a pivotal game for the weekend and could alter the entire postseason's destiny. If the Saints win I think they could win it all. If they lose it's up for grabs.

It's worth noting the Saints drew the time slot of doom. Meaning the last game of divisional weekend which in the last decade or so or going back even farther, has often drawn the most upsets.

Chiefs defense is actually good at Arrowhead. Top-10 in almost every category.
