Mahomes and Kelce for the win. 
Flowers killed the comeback with the taunting then having the ball knocked out of his hand at the 1 yard line.

 

Lions might rue not settling for a FG on 4th and 2 to make it 27-10. A potential 3 score game has turned into 1 now.

Now a Lions fumble, game has flipped big time

Congrats 9ers fans…good luck against the Chiefs.

Massive luck in a few instances got the niners going and the way cashed in. Detroit fell apart in the end. 
The Reynolds drop wide open was pretty much the end.

Chiefs will on form win back to back.

Recorded both games but followed the games on gamecast

Looks like the Lions imploded or was it just the 49ers stepping up at crunch time?

And the Ravens just couldn't score TD's despite being at or near the redzone a lot of the times.  Couldn't get it done?  

Niners got what should have been an interception that turned into a 53y gain, a one handed catch across the middle that was epic but also such a bad option/attempt. 
Goff slightly missed Reynolds on a fourth down that really he prob should catch and Reynolds also missed a sitter on 3rd down, he just flat dropped it with no pressure.

Purdy suddenly became Lamar and made great plays with his legs. 
Lions should have been able to hold on/win that game but their second half was as bad as the niners got good, but either will be up against it in the SB. 
What made the niners great through the year is not working at the moment.

Great fightback. 24-7 down at half time but didn't give in, there was no way we could stop their run especially on the outside. 

We were just flat out poor in the first half. Already mentioned defending the run but completely unable to get any pressure on Goff as well. I thought the Lions were outstanding in the way they approached this game and really exploited our weakness. 

Some massive slices of luck helped get us going, the tipped ball Jennings catch and the Aiuik fluke. You need these rubs sometimes and if Purdy doesn't air it out there it doesn't happen. Then Dan Campbell's aggressive approach on 4th down. While it may have been wise to kick the FGs you have to remember its this approach that got the Lions to where they are. They weren't totally void of fortune themselves when Moody missed the field goal from 48 or Purdy couldn't get it to a wide open Jennings to start the 2nd half but that's football, take what they give you.

The bright lights kicked in and all of a sudden Gibbs fumble and the 2 Reynolds drops, the pressure was on and Detroit seemed to wince in the moment. Once they lost the lead and had to rely on pass to get it back the momentum had well and truly shifted. They will be better for it, congratulations to Detroit for getting this far.

Arguments could be made we weren't the best team on the night but I think we still deserved to win. Not thinking about the SB just yet happy to enjoy being NFC champs for the moment. Any picks for who's going to win would be extremely premature at this stage but the Chiefs have done it and know what is expected.

For the time being, go Niners!

 

Chiefs pass rusher Charles Omenihu tore his ACL yesterday. 7 sacks this season and was massive against the Ravens.

Massive loss, means the pass rush on Purdy won’t be as good, they were great at creating pressure with only the front 4.

Vegas has set the SB as a virtual pick-em

49ers are at -1.5 which is close enough to a point after

I was reckoning -3.0 KC but I'm 4.5 points out

Very good player and he'll be sorely missed. Tragic for him.

Still a hell of a defense though.

I honestly think both offences should beat the opponents D, it will possibly come to special teams/turn overs. I think both teams score 24+

Yeah I think there will be points scored as well. Stops and turnovers will be worth their weight in gold. 

It's a horrible thing to think about for me but it's easy to see it coming down to a 2 min drill where #15 makes the big plays and gets them over the line. Can't win if you don't buy a ticket though.

Tbh if it’s 2 mins and you have the ball you have nearly as much chance as they do.

(I feel dirty writing that and will go for a bath full of sanitizer 😁)

Last time I had a bet on scores being level at the half and chiefs winning. Might do the same bet again this year.

Tips Gentleman (and margin)

5 points for the win & 5 points for the correct margin bracket (1-6, 7-13 or 13+) 

San Francisco are -1.5 favs over KC so that's close enough to call it a pick-em

Here's the leaderboard so good luck!

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
