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

      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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
