Decided to make Monday's games a little more interesting. Took the Panthers to win by 13+

Eagles to win 7-12 

Jacksonville 13+

And a 4 leg multi with eagles, pats, jags and niners to win.

Can't believe the Jags & Panthers are such outsiders, both serious value in the H2H betting

It's nearly always a curious week (week 17) ... the teams in contention that have to win, usually win, and those teams that don't have to win, don't usually win.

Teams that have secured a playoff berth and can't move from that spot often rest their starters and other teams that are completely out of it only have pride & future contracts on the line. 

It's reflected in the betting markets.  The lines & head-to-head odds are a lot different to what we normally see - it's actually a good betting week if you can get your head around what is going on.

It wouldn't surprise to see the Bills,  49ers,  Titans,  Denver & Dallas all win ... all 5 of those teams are favoured to win where as ordinarily they'd nearly all be underdogs.  And every season in week 17 it's a similar story.

It's hard to see any of the Ravens,  Chargers,  Vikes,  Pats,  Steelers,  Seahawks & Saints losing either.

I went Philly for a few reasons, Foles needs more time with their O and they have tge bye and they hate the cowboys so still want to win.

Niners cos they cant lose against what the Rams will field.

Jags should beat titans. Not sure if they are resting players?

Pats should roll the jets and can lose top seed.

Panthers can still get second seed if all goes their way. 13+ is a massive ask but thats why the odds are so good.

Marrone has said Jags starters will be playing until the result is beyond doubt. Whatever that means.

I gather it means that as long as there is a chance to improve their position they will keep their starters on the field. I hope that is after they are 23 points up! ?

Locked in at #3 but can kill off the Titans and not play them again next week. 

On the pi$$ & will be ready for 8:25am tomorrow on 7mate... Not confident at all but will be treating it like a playoff game :lol:

I'm hoping you win for your sake JV.  You never know,  the team might click into gear if they get into the playoffs.

The Panthers deep-down must know that the Saints & Vikes are not going to slip up and that realisation may be apparent by half time of your game. 

I do like the scheduling though ... the games that matter being played at the same time. 

Ergggghhhhhh

Foles benched halway through the second quarter. Looked terrible. 0-0 witg 2 mins to go in the half.

Browns are taking it up to the steelers.

Ficken makes his first FG attempt. That's pretty much the story i care about in the Rams game.

Jags have no [censored] idea when playing the Titans.

Yeah they are not playing well at all.

I'm just cheering on the Bills! Hope they make it!

That TD helps. How good was Kyle Williams getting a rushing TD for the Bills?

At least one of us will go through Gorg... I'm not that confident, will be a tough task for us. Hopefully it's on Sunday rather than Monday

Yeah avoiding scores at work is hard.


 

Next Week (all times are AEDT) ...

Sun 8.35am ...... Titans @ Chiefs

Sun 12.15pm .... Falcons @ Rams

Mon 5.00am ..... Bills @ Jaguars

Mon 8.40am ..... Panthers @ Saints

Just imagine being a Ravens fan at the game - gut wrenching. 

Well done to the Bills though ... 17 long seasons without playoffs and they finally make it!

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
