I definitely hope my Raiders pull off a miracle upset over the Chiefs.

Me too...they played them tough last time and have been playing better lately, though playing at Arrowhead is a tall task. I bet Gruden gets them pumped up, but a hard offense to stop.

That's basically a playoff game, but if your Raiders can somehow upset the Chiefs, than the Chargers/Broncos becomes important. Or if Chargers/Chiefs both lose, the Patriots could get 1 seed.

If the Patriots somehow lose and the Texans win, Texans get 2 seed and a bye and Patriots would host Titans/Colts winner first round.

Vikings/Bears, because if Vikings lose, they miss out because Philly very likely beats Washington and gets the last playoff spot.

If Bears win, and Rams lose, Bears get 2 seed and a bye and Rams play first round, against Vikings or Eagles.

Then of course if Ravens lose and Pitt wins, Pitt wins the division....if that happens Chargers will likely got to Pitt (unless Chargers get 1 seed) instead of Baltimore.

Kind of sucks...I just realized all of the games with playoff implications (other than the Texans and Patriots which likely don't end of having implications). They typically do this so more teams have to play at full strength. And of course the Pats and Texans will have to because Texans could still get 1, 2, 3 or 6 seed...and Pats could get 1, 2 or 3 seed, so both obviously need to win.

Ass Chin wants to kill Watson, apparently.
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.

Up 17 with 30 seconds to go, let's keep Watson on the field and let him throw it. I'm surprised he didn't call another QB run for him to see if he can take yet another unnecessary hit.

Anyways, I hope the Titans can beat the Colts for us because I don't want any part of them in the playoffs.

Giants can't give up 100+ yards and 3 touchdowns to Blake Jarwin who hasn't done anything this year until this game, Totally unacceptable.

Did anyone see Anthony Miller going to the locker room? His left shoulder was hanging out, so that's a dislocated shoulder I think.
