Thanks for your efforts @Macca…must admit the tipping comp was a rather pointless exercise for me though 😉

See you in the post-season.

    Lift… maybe not, just be a little smarter. Hit those two wide open and it’s a easier win.

    Don't worry, there were a total of 8 of us who scored 4 points or less.  It was a weird regular season with so many teams falling away whilst others who were unlikely, shone

    Week to week, a number of the favoured road teams failed to deliver

    As for our tipping, DS & GtB showed us how to do it!  So the points were there to attain (kinda, sorta)

    Schedule Week 1 Playoffs

    Sun 8.30am Seattle @ San Francisco

    Sun 12 15pm Chargers @ Jacksonville

    Mon 5.00am Miami @ Buffalo

    Mon 8.30am NY Giants @ Minnesota

    Mon 12.15pm Baltimore @ Cincinatti

    Tues 12.15pm Dallas @ Tampa Bay

    Chiefs & Eagles bye

    More later but the post season tipping comp works as follows (by the way, newcomers are most welcome)

    Just post up your scores or just the winners with a margin of victory

    e.g Miami 15 Buffalo 23 or

    Buffalo win by 8 (or 7 - 12)

     

    Week 1 - each win (home or away) is worth a point with a bonus point added (for each match) if your margin of victory correctly falls within one of the winning 3 brackets (1 - 6, 7 - 12 or 13+)

    Week 2 ... 2 points per win with 2 bonus points available for each of the 4 games

    Week 3 ... 3 points per win with 3 bonus points on offer for both games

    Super Bowl ... 5 points for the win with 5 bonus points on offer

    A second chance at glory after most of us had a disastrous regular season at tipping!

    So how do we reckon the playoffs will play out?

    Are KC & the Eagles set up to get through to the SB? Outside of those 2, who are the next best 2 or perhaps there's more than 4 genuine hopes to win out? 

    Vikes, 49ers, Bills are likely but how about TB and Tampa?  Cinci might get hot and how 'bout them Cowboys?  Jags should progress past week 1

    KC are primed, they have weapons all over the shop and no longer rely on Kelce/Hill combo. Will only get stronger in the run game over the coming weeks. 
    Bills have dropped back a bit imo, but still a threat if Allen gets healthier.

    Bengals are the ones hitting form at the right time.

     

    Eagles have been great, can Hurts stay healthy enough t9 see them through?

    Niners D is great and have carried them for years, less so with McCaffrey but I think as always QB is their weak point vs the top D’s.

    Vikes are similar, Cousins can be great or average and their WR core is very good, but their D doesn’t stack up as high as say the niners. 
    For me it’s a AFC win, just a matter of who.

    Tua ruled out.

    Lamar Jackson still not training so will miss again and Huntley didn’t throw in practice.

    Looking ahead, I think it's going to be one of the best playoff series in years when it comes to excitement, surprises and matchups. There's some brilliant teams in there but no absolute dominant standout. The closest thing to that would be KC and at that stage they would be my pick to win it, the offense has changed a bit since they won it and in many ways you'd have to say it's stronger as a whole. Juju has been an excellent pick up and they have the QB with the tools and now experience to do it. You don't lead total points and yards for nothing.

    The Bills are well placed too but hoping Allen is healthy and we'll see how they come out of this emotional period.

    The Eagles have been great but there have been some cracks in recent weeks and will Hurts lack of games lately hurt them? Still giving them the nod for best NFC chance. 

    Niners have been one of the more in-form sides, the front 7 is close to the best but I'm not sure our secondary as one of the few times we came up against good weapons (D Adams) we were smoked. Been very impressed with Purdy but there are weaknesses there to be exploited by defenses. Obviously thus being the team I watch the most I'll be the most critical.

    I hate to say it but don't sleep on the Cowboys, it's an even more balanced team going in to these playoffs and this loss they just had to Washington you'd have to think this puts a rocket up their you know what. Terrorising defense and roster wise I have them on par with SF. 

    The Bengals are playing very well at the moment and I can see them catching fire again.

    In playoffs I'm all about quarterbacks and "Who is your QB and which QBs are you facing?" For this reason the AFC has a few collision courses but also for this reason I fancy the SB winner coming from there.

    @layzie I’ll sleep on the cowpatties, they are an average play off team with a good D with some very good players on it, but Dak has failed multiple times and McCarthy is a coach who can’t win playoffs. With what he had a GB he should have won multiple. 
    The Pattie’s will go no where.

    If you get time, Gonzo, post up some margins for the bonus points on each match (1-6, 7-12 or 13+)

    If not, I'll make an executive decision and make them all 1-6.  Not sure anyone is going to mind (unless they do mind,  haha!)

    Anyway, nice start to a Sunday tomorrow with a couple of good match-ups.  2nd game promises to be close but the 9ers should take care of business at home

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
