Got my concerns over Darnold as a backup. Doesn't quite cut the mustard and I'm not just saying that after today.

Arizona miss the field goal!  

Seattle win!  (and Dallas as well)

@Dr. Gonzo wins the tipping comp!! 

 

The Bills do have something to play for because if they win, they win their division!

2 days ago there was a chance they were going to miss the playoffs altogether

Amazing finish and of course if the Eagles had not have fallen in a hole, the leaderboard would have had a completely different look

Those who tipped away from the Eagles were on the money.  The Jags losing put a few out as well

A whole year of upset losses and this week was no different

Jags stuff up cost me dearly.

Cowboys won't take anything for granted against the packers next week although no Aaron Rodgers to torment them this time.

Been a good game and Josh Allen is must viewing (mostly good with the odd, costly, unexpected error)

Miami's defence has been very good in the red zone.  Leading 14-7 at the end of the 3rd quarter, I reckon they win

 

Edit:  er ... special teams comes to the rescue!  Bills draw level!

A wild game a week out from wild-card weekend

Edited by Macca

Another costly dropped catch by Miami ... punted it away 4 in a row now

Bills can put the game away with this drive (leading 21-14 with 5:28 left in the game)

Edited by Macca

Fantastic 2nd half from Josh Allen ... overall has thrown for 370 yards with 2 TD's, 2 interceptions, 1 fumble and has run for 69 yards

1:17  left and Miami have got the ball back.  PI so Miami on the Bills 40 yard line (14-21 so they need a TD)

Interception!!  Bills win the division

Wild Card Weekend Schedule (AEDT)

Sun 8.30am  Cleveland (-2) @ Houston (+2)

Sun 12.00pm  Miami (+3) @ Kansas City (-3)

Mon 5.00am  Pittsburgh (+9.5) @ Buffalo (-9.5)

Mon 8.30am  Green Bay (+7) @ Dallas (-7)

Mon  12.00pm LA Rams (+4) @ Detroit (-4)

Tues  12.15pm Philadelphia (-2.5) @ Tampa Bay (+2.5)

A really good selection of games with maybe Dallas and Pittsburgh being the only clear favourites

So, if we get enough starters, we can have another post-season tipping comp

Here's how it works ...

Straight winners & margins (1-6, 7-13,  13+ or post up your scorelines)

Week 1 ... 1 point per win plus 1 bonus point for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct scoreline bracket

Week 5 ... 5 points for the SB win plus 5 points for the correct scoreline bracket

You can use the above list of games (copy & paste) to post up your tips but don't forget to add a scoreline or points bracket (1-6,  7-12 or 13+)

A 2nd chance at tipping glory without the arduous task of trying to find road winners!!

I'll prompt up everyone tomorrow or Wednesday but feel free to go early on your tips

I'll wrap up the regular season tipping comp soon enough but well done to Gonzo (winner) and those that finished on the podium (DemonDave, Gorgoroth & layzie)

And thanks to all for your participation

RAMS WIN!!!

And with a very handy back-up in Carson Wentz as QB (who played well)

There was a time where Wentz was regarded as close to the best in the league

Still, you can only really play 1 QB so Stafford will be involved in every offensive play 

If you can get over Detroit, it's game on but that first wild-card win is the key.  I could say the same about the Packers but the Cowboys at BigD is a huge assignment for such a young team (Packers)

But your Rams have a lot of experience so you have that playoff experience over the Lions.  Bookies have Detroit at -4

Be interesting, both sides got a little banged up, but I didn’t expect the rams to even get 6 wins so I’ll take a wild card spot.

Yeah same

A nothing to lose attitude can sometimes be good in terms of taking chances

And the Packers definitely have to take risks to beat Dallas ... for instance, we can't be satisfied with 3 pointers at BigD.  Going to have to score 3 or 4 TD's to have any sort of chance.  As it stands, it's a big ask but you never know

Dallas is a big ask but their crowd and town expect big things, so the pressure is right on them. 
Love has proven enough this year but a good play off game vs a great D would give him and. The team huge confidence going into next year.

A wild game a week out from wild-card weekend

What a punt return that was! Turned the momentum instantly.

Right now at this point in time I'm edging towards the Rams. Laporta is a huge out.

Agree. I'm really impressed with Love this year. Good offensive coach, solid running game, a few reinforcements and they could be back with a bang.

On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
