Can I go Seahawks, Patriots and Saints given it's this late?

I'm assuming none of those 3 games had started when you posted up your tips so no problem TU

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

@Gorgoroth...

This is the most upside down season ever.

Dead set hardest tipping comp in the world... It sounds so easy in theory but we all see how hard 3 road winners are. Great concept though Macca, I do enjoy the comp

And there will almost certainly be a stack of road winners this week as well JV - maybe up to 7 in all ... it's turned out to be a more interesting comp than I had ever envisaged.   And more so this season with 12 participants.

Duck eggs all round again this week so you are still joint leader along with Gonzo & DS.  And everyone is still in contention.  We allow for joint winners. 

Leaderboard in the Comp

6 - JV7,  Dr. Gonzo,  DeeSpencer

5 - layzie,  Dappa Dan

4 - Go the Biff,  Clintosaurus,  Dee Zephyr

3 - titan_uranus,  Gorgoroth,  Macca

2 - Demon Dave

That is a costly fumble by the Rams

We are done.

We have been figured out the last three weeks and are a shadow of what we were.

Wont beat the saints if we manage to scrape through to the championship game. 

Goff is browning his pants so often they will trade him to Cleveland to hide it.

That “interception” he dropped into your lap was the stupidest play I’ve ever seen, so so dumb.

Mcvay the wonder kid has no answer and Wade Phillips should be sacked.

Our D is pathetic. Jeffries had a paddock all day and all our players want the big play and not play the ball and downs.

We would have lost to Detroit if they were half decent.

I said the same thing last year after the corresponding game where we limped over the line. Hang in there. I still have faith in Rams. Saints lost to Dallas, they can lose to anyone.

You think? My mate i was watching with said the same thing and he doesn't know the game. Thing is Goff on the previous few plays was throwing it away a LOT. That was all he was doing, trying to get the incompletion so they don't run clock. Made sense to me, was more bad luck than anything. He got up as he was trying to chuck it away.

Yep, Goff has turned it over so much when he has been pressured earlier in the game. If the pocket isn’t perfect he is poor.

Gurly and I think Everett not getting out of bounds was so dumb.

not taking anything away from the eagles who played well but our strengths have been exposed and beaten and our flaws are getting larger and larger.

With Donald getting double teamed whips the hell hasn’t any other stepped up? 

Its another version of star studded becoming team dudded.

The Eagles Seahawks game last year a lot of similar things were happening. People jumped off us in droves for similar things to what you're saying. There's big similarities between Rams 2018 and Eagles 2017. The best thing is it's all happening now, as opposed to in the playoffs like it did for Vikings who needed a miracle to beat Saints and were humiliated by Eagles.

I'm still on Rams 100% to represent NFC in Superbowl.

Wentz's Knee was worse. You never know. Gurley seemed pretty damn good today, at least in receiving game.

True, still can’t see the Rams winning vs the saints in NO anyway.

The Kupp loss is really hurting. The number of times he'd give you that 'get out' play on a 2nd and 5.

The D has been a letdown considering the talent. It seems that if Donald isn't getting the sacks then they are on the back foot. I expected more from Suh this season, especially with the number of times he gets freed up from Donald double teams. Phillips must find a way to get to the QB and soon.

Both Suh and Brockers have been a disappointment for me. Peters and even Talib has looked poor since his return.

Kupp was always our go to guy for this shallow crosses in the middle of the field and your right, he always got the 4-5 yards needed or made them 3 & 1

@Macca @Gorgoroth @layzie  and others...

Who's making playoffs from here? I had Eagles written off. Probably still do, but their season comes down to next week. Beat Texans and they are more likely to make playoffs than not.

I have it in order of seeds as...

AFC: 

1 - Chiefs

2 - Texans

3 - Patriots

4 - Steelers

5 - Chargers

6 - Colts

I'm pretty sure there's no other possibility here other than the Titans pinching the Colt's spot if they win in week 17. Super impressed with the old Eagle Frank Reich and the spectacular drive to playoffs. Not sure what they'll do once there, but loved the run. And Chargers are unlucky to be in a division with KC.

NFC:

1 - Saints

2 - Rams

3 - Bears

4 - Cowboys

5 - Seahawks

6 - Vikings

There's a lot of permutations here. I have Eagles losing to Texans, and Vikings beating Detroit. That would just about wrap it up I think. If those results go other ways, Eagles sneak in. But on form, you'd think Eagles miss.

Fun end to the season!

That fumble killed the momentum, 8:51 to go, Panthers were horrid on the last drive.

[Gorgoroth 12,308]

Massive 3&14 then for the saints

Seems about right, but I think the chargers can win both and KC might slip up one more. 

Not game to call it that way just yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

Bloody hell. Much more boring result.

[Macca 16,173]

@Dappa Dan  and others ...

I had a go at the Playoff Machine and came up with the following notable results.  Of course,  they all have to happen for my final standings to be accurate.  And what are the chances of that happening?  Especially the road win projections! 

Regardless,  we are heading for a colossal last 2 weeks.

                     Week 16

• KC loss @ Seattle
• Saints win vs Steelers
• Eagles win vs Houston
• Chargers win vs Baltimore

                    Week 17

• Colts loss @ Titans
• Bears win @ Minnesota
• Chargers win @ Denver
• Eagles win @ Washington
