Macca 17,127 Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 And there's nearly always at least 1 upset in both the first 2 weeks of the playoffs ... however, the Giants winning wouldn't be that much of a surprise. If either Miami or Detroit get up then that would surprise. I'm not changing my tips but Oakland winning against an average Houston team might happen. The line is only -3.5 in Houston's favour. Anyway, for those who don't have cable or the like, all the playoff games will be on 7mate. Quote

Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 The first game was like watching the rams offence play for both sides.... Seattle got away with a few penalties to score. Detroit had no answer for the run game. Can't see either team progressing unless Texans D can score 14+ points. Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Seattle have been a bit better than I thought but Detroit have been very very average on offense. Oakland were even worse though and Houston weren't extended to any extent. Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 I've just put a fiver each on both the Giants and steelers to win 7-12pts cant wait to get home and watch the games. Quote
JV7 2,375 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Both results expected really.. I feel for the Raiders, finally make the playoffs & do so without their star QB, have to think if Carr didn't go down they would have had a big say in the AFC. The Pats will demolish the Texans(if tomorrows game goes to script), they'd have to be one of the worst sides to make it through to divisonal week. Seattle don't really scare me next week can't see Rawls running for 170+ again but mobile QB's seem to give us trouble so Wilson gets going we could be in trouble. Looking forward to GB & NY tomorrow Edited January 8, 2017 by JV7 Quote

Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 Yeah the raiders lost three pro bowlers for that game. Carr played, they win I reckon. Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 8, 2017 Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) McCarthy never seems to know when to go for it and when not to go for it. He stuffed up big time in Seattle 2 years ago and now he's done it again. Leading 14 to 6 you punt from the GB 42 yard line and put the pressure on an (at times) shaky Eli. Edit: New York's only score in the 2nd half resulted from the above play. Footnote: All of GB's 38 points came with Nelson off on the sidelines. . Edited January 9, 2017 by Macca Quote

Expand Bad call, at the time I thought the Giants would take the momentum after scoring the TD on the back of that failed 4th & inches.... Not to be. Rodgers has been unbelievable since mid way through the 2nd qrt (the Oline had played a lot better too). That hail mary at the half was unreal... Packers & Rodgers keep on keeping on & all without Jordy Nelson . Glad we're on the other side, Packers are going to be hard to beat if their offense keeps this up. I'd favour GB in Dallas next week... Edited January 9, 2017 by JV7 Quote

Going for it is an artform ... only Belichick gets it right most of the time. But he's the master. Obviously ecstatic about the win though ... we should be able to cover for Nelson if he's done. 1 Quote

Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Miami.did my head in. So many mistakes at crucial times. Bell looked awesome for steelers. Chiefs will give them a hard time. I'm not full convinced that the chiefs will beat them if the steelers oline plays as well as it did. 1 Quote
JV7 2,375 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Falcons 31 - Seattle 24 Patriots 34 - Texans 10 Cheifs 24 - Steelers 21 Cowboys 27 - Packers 30 Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 The KC/Steelers is a tough one and a Packers win will require another stellar performance from Rodgers - and who's to say he can't do it again. Falcons 27 - Seattle 22 Patriots 28 - Texans 13 Chiefs 21 - Steelers 20 Cowboys 24 - Packers 27 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 That's the big game isn't it. Can Prescott and Elliot produce in a playoff. Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 Green bay paying 8.50 to win between 7-12pts. Pats paying $6 at the same spread. Pretty good value I reckon. Falcons 24 - seattle 23 Pats 34 - texans 10 Chiefs 31 - Steelers 28 Cowboys 28 - packers 27 Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Rams sign McVay to 5yr deal. Youngest HC. Quote

Expand And you've hired Wade Phillips as your defensive coordinator. A good move. The Chargers moving whilst predicted still seems to be low-impact in my eyes (in terms of the San Diego fans losing their team) I guess private ownership governs these sorts of outcomes and the Americans are well used to it. As for the people of LA embracing the Chargers, who knows when that might happen? . Edited January 14, 2017 by Macca Quote
Gorgoroth 13,220 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 If the chargers play better than the Rams then they will embrace them just fine. Wade Phillips is a great get. Can't wait to see how he goes with Donald and Ogletree. Quote
Bobby Clark 121 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Steelers vs Packers Super Bowl, calling it now. Quote
DeeSpencer 26,681 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 Atlanta 24 - Seattle 27 Pats 24 - texans 16 Chiefs 23 - Steelers 20 Cowboys 16 - Packers 31 Seattle to run the ball and win it with defense. Pats to be too good but Texans D to challenge them. Cowboys offense to grind to a halt at Dak struggles and Rodgers takes over. Chief/Steelers the toughest one. I like the Steelers young D to hold up the Chiefs. Bell will run for 150+. Big Ben has been so up and down. If he plays well the Steelers will win by 7+. If the pass rush gets to him the Chiefs might have 4 picks. Berry and Peters to grab 3 between them Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 14, 2017 Posted January 14, 2017 The KC/Steelers game has been moved to Sunday Night instead of it's earlier scheduled time slot of early Sunday arvo. New revised schedule ... Sunday 8.35am ..... Seattle @ Atlanta Sunday 12.15pm ... Houston @ New England Monday 8.40am .... Green Bay @ Dallas Monday 12.20pm .... Pittsburgh @ Kansas City Quote
Macca 17,127 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Atlanta & Ryan far too good ... so it's either @ Dallas or vs the Packers. The Falcons will be confident of winning either way (after today's performance) Quote
