Washington Giants Seattle

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?)

@titan_uranus @ElDiablo14 @Gorgoroth @Go the Biff @Dee Zephyr @DemonDave @Dr. Gonzo @JV7 @BDA @Dappa Dan @layzie @DeeSpencer @Clintosaurus 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?

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

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

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

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

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

Turned out to be the trap game

Have only just started watching 'Slow Horses' (excellent TV Drama) and this is the theme tune to the show At first I thought the song might have been from the 60's but Mick Jagger wrote the song recently with Daniel Pemberton Mick Jagger - Strange Game

The Rams will have won the division by Tuesday (31st Jan) if 3 of the following 5 teams win in week 17 (tomorrow) Bills (likely) 49ers (unlikely) Vikes (60/40) Washington (probably) Browns (not likely) It might still come down to some week 18 results if Seattle beat the Rams next week

You're almost over the line with regards to winning the division but if you lose to Seattle then it will go down to the 5th tiebreaker as you'll be even with Seattle on the first 4 teabreaks! I'm sure you're all over the scenarios but it's rather complicated trying to explain here! The strength of victory metric being at the forefront

And the Colts & Dolphins can still make the playoffs so plenty to play for Even the Bengals can make it after today's win over the Broncos And it's easy for an NFL team to tank a game or 2 so those teams low on the conference tables will be eyeing off their 1st round picks

@titan_uranus @DeeSpencer Don't forget your tips!
