I hope Baltimore and Houston win, though I don't know if the Ravens will play their key guys. I think they have things locked up.

I want to see Houston and Buffalo get the wildcards (in addition to Cleveland). But that means Houston has to win and Buffalo either needs to beat Miami or have Pittsburgh lose (or some teams to tie which is unlikely).

Cowboys should win vs Washington. Kind of smells like a trap game to me though. Ron Rivera’s last game, they can play spoilers to the Cowboys. Dallas better watch out and better not get behind early.

This is the first time I've watched Stroud in a game. That was such a beautifully thrown ball. The speed, spiral, and location, just *chef's kiss*
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Probably the worst blitz I've seen all season.

Why don’t the Texans throw it every play? They can do whatever they want down the field. It’s strange how they get conservative. Reminds me of the Jags

It's pretty annoying...Slowik kinda sucks.

Penalties suck too, stop with the false starts already.

Defensively it'd be nice if Greenard/Anderson were playing(one is out the other is limited).

Would have liked to see Texans close to full strength, they could've done some damage in playoffs. Stroud is already a top 10 quarterback for me, might be closer to 5 than 10.

Your going to be fine. Real nice QB now and you have some really nice young pieces on both sides of the ball. It will all pay off in two years if you keep hitting on draft picks. :nod:

Buffalo wins the division, Jags win the division, Bucs win the division, I think Chicago can upset and I guess that means Seahawks sneak in.

Also Sam Darnold will probably kill Rams I think Kyle wants to have the team prepared except for few top guys.

I havent looked at the spreads though, usually I take the last week off so many question marks about who is playing and how long.

There will be many casuals who will say Darnold could have done what Purdy did ahaha

Bucs seem to be the heavy favorite against Panthers which is expected and I think they can suprise in playoffs, looking thru the stats you posted Baker looks better than he is credited for.
