We will count your last 3 picks Gorg

I nearly forgot as well ... the Sunday games sneak up on you

Titans looking real good here as well.  If they maintain a 2 score lead at the half they could go on with it.

Ravens are rusty which can happen if you get the bye.

It was my bday yesterday and a quiet day turned into a great (read messy) evening ?

Jackson has quite simply stank it up in two playoff games.

Hats off to the Titans, did not see that one coming just proves this league really is "Any Given Sunday" (Saturday in this instance)

If you need a laugh get on the twitter feed from the a Ravens game.

This is one insane first half so far in Kansas and it’s not even over yet.

And the Packers just got lucky there ... not sure that the ball broke the plane (Jones)

But you take the good with the bad hey?

You beat Seattle and upset Pete Carrol, everything is good! Very good!

Going to real tough at the 49ers next week though.  Happy to be in the hunt of course ... we'll have to be at our best to have a chance.

Still can't believe the Ravens didn't turn up and Houston threw away that game against KC. 

And the Titans could go all the way with the way they're playing.

Houston was weird, they let Kelce just do what ever he wanted too. That hammy strain he got is interesting, if that goes KC chances drop significantly.

Niners love the short pass over the middle. Garropolo was picked once there, and should have been another two times. 
you guys need to plug that area, make him throw elsewhere. I think your run D is good enough to contain their run. 
Your biggest concern is stopping their edge rushers. But if you run the ball down their throat early it might back them off.

That Texans-Chiefs game sure was crazy! I left for work with Houston up by 3 TDs and it wasnt even quarter time. Not a lot of composed defence
for a playoff game, although I've only seen the highlights post quartertime.

Reminds me of the regular season shootout with between Niners and Saints in week 14, we ran out winners 48-46, it was great to watch a high scoring match but not great from your teams defensive perspective.

Thought the Titans played surprisingly very well, worry for Lamar Jackson now that he's had stinkers two years in a row in the playoffs, admittedly I dont think I've seen a full game from the Ravens this year but its hard to believe he's the raging MVP favourite based on some of those throws on Sunday.

Thought the Seahawks had all the second half momentum, but time ran out for them.
That Jimmy Graham (an ex-Seahawk, oh the irony!) lunge definitely looked short
to my eyes, but it was pleasing seeing Pete Carroll lose his nut.
   
Jimmy G was surprisingly circumspect with his arm against the Vikings, but with the
3 pronged running attack gaining yards at will, I guess there was no need. I can barely
recall Kittle or Sanders making a catch of any considerable yardage. Defence was as
strong as its looked roster and score-wise since the first half of the year when Dee Ford
and Kwon Alexander were last fit.

Two interesting matchups then, I dont think the Niners will have it as easy as they did last
time against the Pack when Rodgers had one of the least effectual games I've seen him play
against pass rush.  Home field advantage and my inherent bias says Niners.

I cant see Mahones and co being stopped after their demolition job this past weekend, I'm still struggling to comprehend how a Ryan Tannehill lead team are playing so dang well. Chiefs by plenty.

[Gorgoroth 12,785]

@DemonDave

I think the packers D 5 will have their hands full with the run but they are also very good. I think Kittle is key for he packers D. Stop him, break even against the run and it’s game on. 
The rush from the niners will be interesting, will the packers with their decent oline try and protect the pocket or dial up some fast quick screens and slants to make them hesitate.

Jones’s running could be key and niners need to hold Adams, those two are key.
