The Chargers will be kicking themselves after their tardy start to the season and after not looking like making it for the best part of the season,  the Falcons get to 10 wins and earn a spot.  Atlanta could be the surprise packet.

And we have a winner in the tipping competition!

Congratulations to Clintosaurus  who wins the competition with a record score of 15 points - well done and well played. 

Go the Biff (2nd place) stayed up near the pace all season but couldn't quite bridge the gap.  Former winner Dappa Dan rounds out 3rd place.  

Final Tally

15 - Clintosaurus

12 - Go the Biff

10 - Dappa Dan

-------------------------------

7 - Macca

4 - JV7,  Gorgoroth

Well played to all though ... the comp is easy to run from my point of view and hopefully we'll get a few more joining in next season.  We can do another post-season tipping comp as well if we can get enough takers (more on that later) 

To the victor go the spoils ...

Once again, thanks Macca.

Can't believe we are onto the post season already, the seasons seem to go quicker every year.

Just imagine being a Ravens fan at the game - gut wrenching. 

Well done to the Bills though ... 17 long seasons without playoffs and they finally make it! 

I'm gonna sayyyy.... no. Don't want to imagine being a team that missed the playoffs while being expected to make it. Don't need to imagine, really.

Bills... so great when the outsider gets in.

Well done Falcons. Personally I can't see Eagles winning in two weeks, so whoever they play will be hungry.

Well done Clint on making the hall of fame. Much deserved. An absolute rout.

New post for the hats-off to Macca. Great fun as always. Look forward to the post season tipping comp. I assume it's just pick every game, most correct picks wins?

Traditionally it's been 1 point per winner with 3 points up for grabs for the Super Bowl but ...

I'm interested in making the NFC & AFC Championship games worth 2 points for each game just to spice things up and keep people interested. 

What does everyone think? 

We've also traditionally posted up our likely score outcomes but those scores are there for interests sake only.  @pantaloons started things off that way back in 2013 and we've all just followed suit.

Sweet.

I imagine the two point thing would be great if it keeps everyone picking. So why not?

That's the idea Dappa ... if one has a poor tipping result in week 1 or week 2 of the playoffs there's still a chance at winning overall with a strong finish. 

Here are next week's games again - all times are AEDT ...

Sun 8.35am ...... Titans @ Chiefs

Sun 12.15pm .... Falcons @ Rams

Mon 5.00am ..... Bills @ Jaguars

Mon 8.40am ..... Panthers @ Saints

Work intervenes but the 2 College SF's could be good viewing ... I really only tune in at this stage of the College season but it would be good if they expanded the playoffs to 8 teams. 

Close finishes are my ideal outcomes as I don't really have a dog in any of the fights.  Alabama just made it into the playoffs but the 2 SF's are played at neutral venues.

I struggle with the college games, the rule changes annoy me, seems its all O, no D.

Yeah ... it's free scoring alright.  The Americans can't get enough of it though. 

My interest extends to the playoffs (only) like I often am with a few other sports (Rugby League,  the pointy end of a number of soccer cups,  Super Rugby,  NHL etc etc)

Noted NFL insider Adam Schefter is saying that Jon Gruden is set for the Oakland Raiders job.  A huge story if true.  Jack Del Rio has been fired to make way? 

If it happens Gruden will end up coaching out of Las Vegas.

Chuck Pagano has been sacked as the Colts coach

Everyone has chased Gruden, the money he could get out of Vegas would be insane. 

Not sure Raiders should be his go tho.

Browns have picks 1 and 4. Need to make them count this year.

They could draft a couple of busts again! :ph34r: ... and I've yet to witness anyone ever being able to predict a bust (or at least being able to do so consistently)

The criticism of draft choices that go South nearly always comes after the event. 

 

Yeah, and super quick to dismiss players who don't instantly perform.

Could Kizer make it with a decent offense around him? Would he be worse than Bortles? 

Browns will go for a QB at 1, if they dont I think the fans will burn the stadium down.

Now to see if that college QB nominates for the draft or stays at school.

Yep,  agree with all that Gorg.

The Browns just have to keep going back to the well with fingers crossed ... the Sixers (NBA) and the Raiders have also both had horrendous luck with drafting but both franchises are now slowly starting to come good. 

All that tanking and then they draft busts!  Drafting is often a cruel beast.

8 new teams make the playoffs ... which means that 20 different teams have made the playoffs in the last 2 seasons.  Quite amazing. 

I'm not sure there's another sporting league in the world where the parity is as it is in the NFL.  Every team has 167 million to spend on player salaries which should mean that every team gets to have it's fair share of top-end talent.  Except for the Browns it seems :ph34r:

It's right up there with their crowning achievements I reckon. Their innovation is world best. Meanwhile Soccer is stuck, Baseball is a joke... AFL is improving, but still along way to go.

Good season of tipping and banter in here. Thanks @Macca for organising and I'll be in the post season version for sure.

Hopeful the Jags can get past Buffalo and Pittsburgh to the AFC Championship Game. Good luck to everyone else with teams in the playoffs.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
