@Dappa Dan  and others ...

Walk me through the picking of Eagles v Houston. Texans have impressed me immensely. Eagles have put together exactly one game in a row of good footy.

Is it because they knocked off the mighty Rams?

    Ha ha! 

    Just a gut feel Dappa ... Foles and all that.  Home field,  trap game for the Texans.  Everything on the line for Philadelphia. 

    And in this unpredictable season,  most of the games are more line-ball than we've realised.  The Vegas lines have often been way off-beam.  More so than I can ever remember.  We've seen a lot of upset wins so we could expect more of the same.

    Didn't Foles take over at the exact same time last season?  And then ...

    Just the 1 point on offer this week but what a vital point it could turn out to be!  A reminder that week 17 carries 3 points.  The Rams look like certainties but finding 2 more looks tricky.  A number of divisional games and they're often close. 

    Anyway,  good luck all.

    Been super surprised & impressed by the Chargers, Texans, Bears & even the Colts (guess a healthy Luck helps)

    Who are people’s picks for the MVP at this stage ? I personally can’t go pass Mahomes. You’d think by seasons end he’ll just about have 50 TD & 5,000 yards absolutely extraordinary for a kid in his first year starting. Only 2 players in NFL history have thrown 50+ TD’s in a season 

    Rams

    Bears

    Broncos

    I’m biased so I’m saying AD99

    double teamed pretty much 70% of plays and still has had nearly the best defensive record of all time.

    I reckon Mahomes for MVP ... he's played great and he's also had a huge impact.  Donald,  Brees & Rivers have all been fantastic as well but the kid gets into the picture. 

    Meanwhile,  the Pro-Bowl selections are out ... Chargers lead the way with 7 selections whilst the Chiefs & Steelers 6 each.  Read more here -  2019 Pro Bowl selections for every team: Full NFC,  AFC rosters

    @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!

     

    Mine wouldn’t be too much different to be honest. Not 100% on KC getting the 1 with that tricky trip to Seattle but I think they have enough, I also have the Colts sneaking in.

    I think the Eagles will give the Texans a good run and can't trust the Vikes winning out so the 6 seed is up in the air for me. Great few weeks coming up!

    Yeah Mahomes for me, and well deserved. Gee what a golden age we're in.

    My question mark with Mahomes is it’s now a QB league made for passing, passing and more passing.

    But then again I never expect to see anyone other than a QB win it.

    I read something a while back about the fact Donald should win it. Or, if I remember correctly, if he doesn’t then a DT never will. Something along those lines.

    I’d love to see that tbh.

    Have had this conversation elsewhere. Donald gets double or triple teamed on every play and still leads the sack numbers. QBs get protected by officials more than ever. Donald is the real MVP as far as I am concerned.

    Wouldn't be suprised of a Baltimore upset at the Chargers this afternoon... Should be a good game.

    Titans victory today now means that the Ravens need to win today otherwise they'll need help in week 17.   Big ask at the Chargers but they can do it.

    Come on Ravens, get my tips off and running please. 

    Got to give some love to the kickers. The Ravens’ Justin Tucker needs 2 more FGs to reach 30 for the season, will become the first player in NFL history with 6 seasons of 30+ FGs.

    Prediction : His second field goal of the night will be the game winner as the clock runs out.??

    The Ravens looked good and played well ... defense travels hey!

    We might be having one of those seasons where any of the playoff teams can advance a long way in the playoffs.  Nothing should surprise as we keep seeing games being decided by picks,  turnovers,  fumbles and errors. 

    Chargers put in an average one but they've been up for the contest for what seems like an age.  They'll bounce back you'd reckon.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
