I'm obviously too late to tip in this game. But would've had Carolina. Something like 24-16.

Ravens 20 Steelers 27

Bengals 10 Colts 20

Lions 17 Cowboys 30

Yeah I forgot to post...

Cowboys 17, Detroit 24

Bengals 31, colts 30

Ravens D getting it done ... Big Ben needs to find something

Yeah I forgot the games were on today, missed the early game and first five mins of this game.

Steelers started so well but red zone has been owned by Ravens D.

Can't see the steelers getting up unless they lift 50% across the board.

Bell out for the Steelers was always going to be huge. Having said that, I never felt Pittsburgh was anywhere near as good as the number 3 seeding suggested and they showed why - crap secondary, inconsistency from Big Ben, and a marked inability to score in the red zone. Baltimore is a well-rounded side. I don't see them winning in New England but good on them.

Arizona's season ended when Carson Palmer got injured. Big fall from them, to go from 9-1 and not make the Divisional Round of the playoffs is disappointing though.

Yeah Palmer going down screwed the cards, that's why a QB loss can be devastating unless they are a strong running team which minimalises the loss due to not a major reliance on the pass game.

Great comeback from Dallas. To come back from down 14-0 and 17-7 at the half against one of the better defences in the league in a playoff game is a big effort. Means we get the Packers, 8-0 at home, hosting the Cowboys, 8-0 on the road, which should be a great match up (Carolina at Seattle though, I'm not so excited about).

Not just Palmer. Stanton and Ellington as well. Back up QB and starting RB. Plus they had some gun defensive players out. Pretty much they did well to get as far as they did and at the end of the season their gun defense had too much load to carry with a 3rd string QB and without starting RB. I think if you were a Cards fan you'd have to be somewhat happy with the year considering.

Dallas impressed me. They just keep surprising. So I think next week will be a step too far but who knows.

I can't actually get excited about any of the games next week. Maybe Luck and the Colts. But Manning with an extra weeks prep and the way the Colts have been playing like flat track bullies for most of the year doesn't inspire either.

If results are predictable it might be a boring week but will set up one heck of a AFC/NFC championship weekend and likely a great superbowl as well.

Big reversal of a pass interference call with 8.18 left in the 4th quarter in the Dallas game ... no explanation given

Perhaps a call came in from Vegas

Home town decisions are always likely to occur and must be factored in but the defensive player (Hitchens) doesn't look like he ever had eyes for the ball. If the original call had have stood, Detroit would have been within field goal range with a 1st down (the Lions were leading 20-17 at the time)

To be fair, there were probably a number of other "iffy" pass interference calls throughout the game (there always seems to be) so I guess things evened themselves out in the end. Still, Detroit would probably feel a little aggrieved.

The incident is certainly a talking point ... Pete Morelli: Penalty not warranted

Yeah the pick up flag on the pass interference turned the game, I reckon they got it wrong... Demarcus Lawrence would have been breathing a sigh of relief when he recovered that fumble on the last play.. Don't know why he didn't fall on that fumble he got n lost at around the 2:30 minute mark, the ball game would have been over than, luckily he got redemption!!

Worst decision. Those refs won't get a gig this week. Detroit got raped by the refs in the last quarter. That is a penalty every day of the week. I hope GB smash them this week.

NFL admitting they screwed the lions over a few times.

NFL admitting they screwed the lions over a few times.

I like Belichick's idea where the challenge flags that the coaches can use extends to penalties such as pass interference or holding penalties. They often use up their challenge flags anyway so it wouldn't necessarily add any extra time to the games. Think they get 2 challenge flags and an extra one if the first 2 are used successful.

Anyway, most NFL fans are used to time outs and replay anyway - as long as the games don't descend to "flag football", I reckon it adds a bit more drama to the sport and I see it as just another part of the sport.

The hold on Suh which wasn't called was fairly blatant but if we were to analyse every play of every game, they could find a reason to throw a penalty flag with even more frequency than they do now.

Can't see a road team winning this week

and yes, Detroit got shafted

Agree, you cop those holding penalties and move on, the picking up of the flag after the ball had been moved is the one tho.

Would the refs want their calls challenged?

Could lead to [censored] off officials.

Rams owner is not taking calls from the St Louis mayor or government...

Looks like it's back to LA for us...

Not happy about that TBH. I'd rather stay in St Louis.

Now it's a tear in the calf muscle ... Rodgers may be far from 100 percent ... if that's the case then it's unlikely that his calf muscle has had enough time to heal. Couple that with the near freezing conditions and I can't see how he can be at his best ... or anywhere near his best if we're being brutally honest.

It could be that he's just going to hand if off to Lacy and Starks and throw from the pocket only. That may or may not get it done and Dallas is sure to apply the pressure.

If we have to go to Flynn or even Tolzein then we may have to end up relying on Romo not being able to take advantage - that's always a possibility

Rogers is key. With him in, you win easily, Dallas O line is not great.

Without Rogers I think it's 55/45 Dallas way but Romo ain't 100% either
