Bloody Giants... Ruined my hopes! Oh well can't rely on other teams winning and losing to get into the playoffs, we had more then our chances especially at 5-0! One game left looking forward to the playoff race and then the playoffs.. Haven't decided which team to adopt yet!

Didn't help that the Giants had nothing to play for and Beckham was out ... all the same, the Vikings probably would have won anyway. Bridgewater was very good and for most of the year they've been a very honest, consistently good team.

Next week at Lambeau is an interesting scenario considering the loser possibly gets the easier wild-card game (at Washington) Seattle could rest a few starters against Arizona as a win for them would be hard fought and not entirely necessary. They might have already decided that the 6 seed will suffice.

Week 17 games ... all to play for this week with 3 points on offer.

Finding 3 obvious road winners in week 17 could be a little difficult. You'd reckon that the teams that have to win, will win but ... all the games are divisional games so there's sure to be some close finishes.

Anyway, good luck to all.

Since I in front I think this three points in the last round is a terrible idea... Ha ha

Yeah, the good news is you will win gold or silver so ... at least you won't win another bronze :ph34r:

Looking at the week, there's any number of potential road winners but none that could be called absolute certainties. A number of teams could rest their starters too - week 17 always throws up some surprises.

It's probably the most interesting week 17 for quite a while in terms of how the playoff seedings could change (especially the 1 & 2 seeds in both conferences)

 


Got no idea who to tip this week. I think Minnesota might bust balls to get a win even though as macca pointed out it gives us Seattle instead of Washington. Washington and Seattle might bludge this week. I'll take St.Louis because if they lose to San Fran after beating Seattle a certain Rams fan on here might lose his mind. Good luck to you all.

Detroit

Pittsburgh

St.Louis

Pats

jets

rams

 

dear god why am I tipping the Rams... CFH, you may just be right if we lose I'll be on the next plane to the USA.

 

steelers was my other choice, but I didn't want to have the same as JV7.

good luck guys.

 

Pittsburgh

Detroit 

Jacksonville

Gurley may be out for the Rams... I may need to change my tip.

Your a kind man Gorgoroth, keeping it interesting!  

I can't remember ever picking Jacksonville anytime in anything

Get in first and you get the first dibs. 

I may regret this Monday night when I watch the replays.

Pats

Steelers

Washington

3rd tip was hard, but had to mix it up and go different from the other contenders. 

3 head coaches fired so far - Eagles, Titans, Dolphins.

Cleveland will be next.

Then we wait and see on Detroit, Indiana, St Louis, San Diego. San Fran, Can't rule out New Orleans. Plus the Giants.

Cowboys apparently won't change.

I'll go with 8 teams looking for a new permanent coach by the end of the week. Could be more. Brutal.


Stupid Rams I won't forget this.

And we have a winner in the tipping comp!

Congratulations Gorgoroth and well played ... in the end, you needed your own team to lose in order for you to win (go figure) ... that Rams/49ers game going to O/T to decide things added to the drama! ... 'cfh' was that close :ph34r:

Anyway, well played to all the participants ... any of the notables could have won in the last week.

If we get enough takers, we can do another post-season comp as well ... "traditionally" we've added the potential scorelines in the post season - a tradition initiated by 'pantaloons'. The post season comp gives 1 point to any winner (home or away) with 3 points on the line for the Super Bowl.

Congrats Gorgoroth, bittersweet tho, those Rams continue to frustrate the [censored] out of you! Tomsula sacked by the 49ers, they don't mess around in the NFL one year and out (if only we did this with neeld) Tomsula never really seemed to be head coach material. Packers struggling atm, there offense is a shadow of its once great self... Not sure what the Falcons do in the off season but they must do something, Matt Ryan had his worst season when he should have been in his prime, throwing interceptions left, right & centre... They can't afford to let him go due to contract but him and Shanahan must get the offense right in the off season 

 

Can I get "World champion NFL Demonland tipper" as a official signature? ?

 

Cheers guys, love this tipping comp. 

def in post season one.

Surely with the loss to the Niners they have to sack fisher, surely.

I long for the day of a competent QB and head coach.

I even wore my rams hat today... Flogging Rams!!!

It's good to see my beloved Rams annoy others as much as me ?

Jump on the sack Fisher bandwagon!!!

Vikings far too good and are fully deserved division winners ... Packers were terrible though and it was a miracle that we were still in the game at the finish.

So, the Vikes now host Seattle and Green Bay go to Washington ... in the end, a Vikings win means they face a hot Seattle and the Packers would probably rather face Washington more so than Minnesota (even though the Washington game is on the road)

I'd be surprised if we could defeat Washington all the same ... as JV7 mentioned above, we are a shadow of our former selves. There's is no real continuity to our game mainly because our wide receivers and tight ends can't create separation even on a semi-consistent basis. It's been an issue all season which hasn't got any better. Rodgers is more often than not out of the pocket looking for someone to throw it to (often to no avail)

Still, we're in the playoffs and as we've seen on a number of times previously, anything can happen in January in the NFL.

In other news the Jets blew their playoff chances whilst the Steelers could cause some damage in the AFC. The Pats drop to the 2 seed with an untimely loss whilst Denver may well have dropped to the 3 seed (without a week off) but now find themselves in the 1 seed position with home field all the way through to and including the AFC Championship game (if they make it that far)

Next week's playoff games (AEDT)

Sunday 8.20am - Kansas City @ Houston

Sunday 12.15pm - Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati

Monday 5.00am - Seattle @ Minnesota

Monday 8.40am - Green Bay @ Washington

 

What a crazy day.

 

i saw the scores so I've not seen any of the games but the Seattle score...WTF?

 

Good to know that Stan and Fisher are trying their best to ruin the Rams.

fisher to coach next year and Fisher expects Case Keenum to re-sign and be the starting QB...

Soooooo, I've written off play off hopes for the Rams...

So Rams, Chargers & Oakland all apply to move to LA.. Little bit surprised by Oakland. What's your thoughts Gorgoroth ? Happy for the Rams to move ?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
