Bolton also won 4-0 this morning to go second, 1 point from the top. 

What a good day!

I will get home soon, watch the Sunday night game and have a drink. 

Much rejoicing!!!

A 'cuban' is called for as well Gorgo.

As well as all that you've hit the outright lead in the tipping comp

Ha ha, I prefer Dominican Republic cigars to Cubans, although I did purchase a lovely Magnum for NYE.

Just realised I didn't pick for Week 14.

 

There's still a total of 6 points up for grabs in the tipping comp including 2 points this week ... another tough week to find 3 clear-cut road wins though.  Still, the comp was never designed to be easy ha ha

Romo being talked about again ... no surprise really, it was only going to take 1 loss like the one Dallas had yesterday.  On top of that, Romo is being paid a hell of a lot of money to sit on the sidelines 100% of the time.

If Prescott starts having another off day in their next 3 games, I can see Romo at least being given some phases during any of those games.  And that may be enough for the switch-back to happen.  Dallas' next 3 - vs Tampa,  vs Detroit then @ Philadelphia.  Jerry will probably find an opportunity for Romo in that string of games.

Some other observations ...

  • Miami, Tennessee & Houston are making claims in the AFC and any of those 3 teams are genuine chances to advance
  • The Broncos might be in trouble - next 3 ... vs Pats,  @ KC,  vs Oakland
  • Pittsburgh are starting to hit their straps - the Ravens can't afford to slip back too far (they play against one another in 2 weeks)
  • The Vikes & Packers stay alive but both teams will need help if either are to advance ... the teams meet each other in week 16.
  • The Giants defence is A1 and they're a real smoky especially if Eli can find his best form
  • Washington & Tampa continue to win games - both teams are realistic wild-card chances ... the Falcons should now win the NFC West with their run home.  Atlanta might even snare the 2 seed.
  • Detroit's next 2 will tell us how good they might be - @ Giants,  @ Dallas.  They can wrap up the NFC North if they win both.
  • Regardless of today's result, Seattle should still be able to secure the 2 seed - next 3 ... vs Rams,  vs Arizona then @ 49ers.  They just had a bad day today and ran into a hot Green Bay.

Once again I can see the vikes at Green Bay for a playoff spot. It's all Detroit's fault 8 times they have been down in the last quarter and come back to win.

We definitely need the Giants to beat Detroit this week ... that's apart from both of our teams needing to win this week as well.  We're running out of games otherwise. 

I reckon all 3 games involving the 3 contenders will be close anyway. 

Is it just me or has this season been all over the place?

normally by now there are loses of teams that have clinched their division.

 

no one willing to bet on the Rams for an upset today... Ha ha

Yeah your not wrong, apart from the NFC East (although Giants, Redskins in the WC race) & NFC West & AFC East (Miami still in WC race too) all the divisons are in a tight battle, I was quiet confident when we had a 3 game lead on the Bucs... All of a sudden if we drop 1 of the 2 remaining divison games & the bucs win both the win it. I love this time of year though, on holidays, can watch lots of games & if your in thw playoff race watching other games which have a bearing on your side

On the Rams, they have the wood on seattle & Fishers gone.. Who knows, I'll be rooting for the Rams in the chance we could sneak the #2 seed from Seattle or Lions 

Edited by JV7

I must admit ive been on the buccs bandwagon for a while. I'll be happy if they make the playoffs. But I did think they would not catch the falcons and thought they would get in as a wildcard. 

Just did the ESPN play off calculator. This is my predictions:

AFC 

New England - #1 seed

Kansas City - #2 seed

Wild Card Week: 

Denver #6 seed @ Pittsburgh #3 seed

Oakland #5 seed @ Houston #4 seed

NFC 

Dallas - #1 seed

Seattle - #2 seed

Wild Card Week: 

NY Giants #6 seed @ Atlanta #3 seed

Washington #5 seed @ Green bay #4 seed

Our own mistakes are killing us. 

Not getting the yrd on 4th and 1, fake punt in our own 40.

Missed throw behind a player with no one wothin 10yrds in the end zone.

Backing seattle up in their own 10 and letting them get 29 yrds on 3rd down and long. Penalty for holding 5 yrds from their td.  We go in 3-10 and tbh we have had the better scoring chances.

I hope we get these mistake out and really push Seattle. We need to buy in a WR next year. Britt is doing well but we need a star WR to help Goff, Britt and Gurley.


Terrible call!!! That's an interception all day long which then coats us a TD. All the 50/50 calls have gone in seattles favour.

They always do in Seattle :rolleyes:

Tbh, the most frustrating thing on the night was the simple mistakes. And on the first two drives, it killed us and any hope of getting momentum. The D was pretty good all day and really kept us in it innthe first half before getting tired.

Wild Card Week: 

NY Giants #6 seed @ Atlanta #3 seed

Washington #5 seed @ Green bay #4 seed

 

Here's my outcome ... (I've got both Green Bay & Denver missing out)

AFC

New England - #1 seed

Kansas City - # 2 seed

Wild Card Week:

Miami #6 seed @ Pittsburgh #3 seed

Oakland #5 seed @ Houston #4 seed

NFC

Dallas - #1 seed

Seattle - #2 seed

Wild Card Week:

Washington #6 seed @ Atlanta #3 seed

NY Giants #5 seed @ Detroit #4 seed

There are a lot of variables though ... if any of Tampa, Green Bay, Baltimore, Denver or Tennessee can snag 1 more win against my projections, then any of those teams can make the play-offs.  The Panthers can have a big say in things in the NFC West as they play both Atlanta & Tampa.

One thing that is almost guaranteed is that week 17 will decide a lot of outcomes.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    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.
