I do not want to see Stafford win another Super Bowl so I'm forced to root for the Bears.

Nah. The Bears going to the NFC Championship would make them insufferable. They have an innate ability to be as obnoxious as Cowboys fans, it’s just been beat out of them for 40 years. No need to give them hope.

I don’t usually root for anything from Texas other than Willie Nelson. But I want Houston to beat the Steelers tonight. 

[Motor City Sonics]

This is glorious.    And to The Requiem by Mozart is a delight.

I don't know that we need to fear Jordan Love.       He's missing something.

He’s so good in like 70% of games and so terrible in the rest.

The 70% tends to include games against the Lions. And the rest tends to include the playoffs.

Its more to see Aaron Rodgers fail. Just retire already...and that Houston defense is legit.

Maybe this season. Last year, we swept Green Bay. As we will next season...

The Packers get their hearts broken  and the Aaron Rodgers gets destroyed in the same weekend? 

 

I'll take it !

[RatkoVarda]

not sure why the Texans signed Danielle Hunter when they already had Will Anderson; why would any team want more than 1 guy who can get to the QB?

[lordstanley]

Texans' defense is stellar. 30-6 at the 2 minute warning. 14 points on defensive plays in the 4th quarter. 

[Dan Gilmore]

And it looks like Rodgers last pass was run back 50+ yards for a pick 6. Rodgers made a lame attempt to tackle, the interceptor laughed that off and headed to the endzone. Yeah, I can be petty. 

[MichiganCardinal]

I wanted Will Anderson so bad in 2023. We were picking #6 and that was my pipe dream. Then the Texans moved up for him.

Worked out pretty well with Gibbs and Campbell though. Hard to regret either pick.

[IdahoBert]

A true beat down. I have some good friends in Pittsburgh and they might well be affected by this loss, but some of my animosities run deeper than friendship.

Sean McVay will coach 15th postseason game — against 15th different opponent

Because they don’t have to pay Will Anderson $40 million a year yet. Why sign Hunter when they could have just kept Greenard?

Rams over Panthers, 34-31
Packers over Bears, 17-13
Bills over Jaguars, 33-30 (OT)
49ers over Eagles, 20-10
Patriots over Chargers, 31-23
Texans over Steelers, 24-9

This was pretty good. 5/6 and the one I missed was an all-time choke job.

Divisional Round

Saturday 4:30pm: Bills -1 @ Broncos
Saturday 8:00pm: 49ers +7.5 @ Seahawks
Sunday 3:00pm: Texans +2.5 @ Patriots
Sunday 6:30pm: Rams -4 @ Bears

Bills getting a point on the road in Mile High against the 1-seed tells you everything is up for grabs this year. I like the 49ers to cover too, they aren't going to roll over and die, and Darnold needs to not turn into a January pumpkin. Speaking of pumpkins, I think the clock has struck midnight in Chicago.

Bills over Broncos, 27-24
Seahawks over 49ers, 20-14
Texans over Patriots, 17-9
Rams over Bears, 38-20

I'm going with all four road teams winning outright.

Oh my.  Aaron killed another coach.   TOMLIN GONE
