Colts what a joke - handed Pats the #1 pick too 🙄

Turned out to be the trap game 

 

If the Falcons win their last 2 games and Seattle beat the Rams next week, Atlanta will end up as the 3rd seed in the NFC

So a lot riding on this match because if the Falcons lose today, they may not be in the playoffs at all!

Falcons lead 14-7 after that interception


Lions have nothing to play for tomorrow as they will still need to defeat the Vikings next week in order to win the NFC North (regardless of tomorrow's result)

Atlanta leading 17-7 against Washington at half time and if they can win today, they can wrap up the NFC South with a win at home against the Panthers next week

Falcons miss FG and into OT we go

Falcons will always Falcon… FFS


It’s a broken record but the regular season OT rule needs to changed… It’s a joke a team doesn’t have right of reply if the opposition wins the toss & scores first up. Yes I know there is the other side “defence need to hold up” but it doesn’t feel right…

Maybe in the old days you could say "D needs to hold up" but the game/rules are so heavily skewed to the offense these days it's unfair not to allow a team a possession.

It's just a rubbish rule and amateurish to be honest.  About as unfair as it gets and as Gonzo, mentioned, the sport is all geared towards scoring these days

Especially when considering that a teams offense starts at their own 30 yard line on mostly perfect surfaces ... getting into the red zone is not all that difficult these days

It's just my view but I prefer NFL games that are not free-scoring affairs.  So I don't like the 30 yard rule and would prefer it if it was 20 yards

The new safety rules that protect QB's, WR's and the like is enough as far as I'm concerned.  Giving the offense extra un-earned yards seems unfair on the defense in my view

I think it should be the whole time limit. Play the full time no matter how many possessions.

49ers slicing through this Detroit defence.  The question is can they curtail Detroits offense?

No they can't. Lions offence is phenomenal

Double points for the last week and the title is almost in GtB's hands!

Although it is a tricky week and 8 points is still possible (if only 1 participant gets 3 from 3)

Some of the lines are rather questionable but are the bookies ever wrong?

Printable NFL Week 18 Against the Spread Pick 'em Sheets

Going to be interesting on games like the Rams who will know before the play if the Bucs have won/lost and what it could mean to seeding, but I think a lot of starters get sat this weekend.

 

Bills, Chargers, Dolphins

It's either one or the other when the results don't matter.  It's either all-in or the starters get rested.  And Vegas cottons on early with the odds/lines

Best to follow the money a la KC, Bills & Texans (starters rested with all 3 teams?)

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
