Rams will receive the 5 seed if they win against Arizona along with Seattle defeating the 49ers Otherwise, a loss against Arizona or a 49ers win and it's the 6 seed for the Rams, and a match up at the Bears or Eagles The 5 seed will be at Carolina or Tampa. So there was a bit riding on the result tonight Packers (the no.7 seed) will be up against the Eagles or Bears

On further examination ... Was under the impression that the Bills were at the Patriots next week but not so ... turns out that the Pats host Miami hext week so the Bills probably had nothing to lose by going for 2 as they are/were likely to be on the road in the playoffs anyway

The 3rd instalment of 'Knives Out' (Daniel Craig) is very good 'Wake up Dead Man' has many twists and turns and is thoroughly entertaining with Craig playing his role as the detective from the South to aplomb

The 2 Saturday games and SNF will hold the most interest for week 18 All times AEDT Sunday 8.30am Carolina @ Tampa Bay (Winner* wins the NFC South with the loser eliminated) Sunday 12.00pm Seattle @ San Francisco (Winner receives the no.1 Seed and home field right throughout the playoffs) Monday 12.20pm Baltimore @ Pittsburgh (Winner wins the AFC North with the loser eliminated) *Unless the Falcons win their last 2 games which would mean that the Panthers (if they lose to Tampa) would win the 3 way tie-breaker if all 3 teams finish on 8 & 9) ... a Rams win tomorrow makes the above scenario null & void

NFL
There are only 3 road teams installed as favourites and I'm not sure I like any of the 3! The other issues are the rested starters for those teams that have secured their playoff spot (and who they might be)

NFL
Week 18 (next week) is maybe the toughest week we've seen ... getting 6 (+1) is a real possibility (if only 1 participant gets 3 right)

Bills not achieving a 2 points conversion was costly ... they effectively handed New England the AFC East by not converting If I was a Bills fan, I'd be filthy. There's a time to take chances and at others times, be conservative The neutrals love it but they aren't directly affected Just another high-risk play call. By the way, that risky play calling has caught up with Detroit

Right now, you're 1 of 7 who can still win the tipping comp outright or be involved in a shared victory That would be reduced to 5 possible winners if the Rams win tomorrow And am I right in saying that the 49ers can still win the NFC West?

It's both (Micah & Kraft) Plus, Love is prone to making unforced errors ... with Kraft there, Love often only had to throw the ball short Micah makes his fellow defenders better so with him out, we revert to kind Still, the Packers have made the playoffs but I'm not sure we'll get past the first week

Fair enough I used to detest using injuries as an excuse but injuries are a genuine reason for not winning, if it's the stars that are affected Especially if it's the our best edge-rusher defender, our best TE and our best QB It's a simple equation for Green Bay ... win our last 2 games and we're in the playoffs From there, we'll need a lot of luck As you said, we need to beat the Ravens (first)

The Ox Worried About the Dees in 2026
Our experienced players need to drive the standards both on and off the field (whilst we're regenerating and developing) Standards need to improve (obviously) but the likes of Langford, Lindsay, Windsor, Taylor, Tholstrup, Culley, Latrelle et al need to be developed without having too much of an onus on their output Looking at the list, there's 20+ experienced players who should all be pushing for selection on a regular basis So it's not like we're going to be quite a youthful outfit (that can only happen if a number of the experienced players fail to deliver)

NFL
Fun for some!! I don't use the word choke very often but the Packers should have won that game. Quite possibly ends the season for Green Bay to boot! (lose to the Ravens next week and it's as good as over) The onside kick recovery for the Bears had an element of luck involved but not the QB fumble in overtime ... Packers blew it (big time) However, to be fair, losing our best 2 players to ACL's (Micah & Kraft) put paid to any SB aspirations (IMV)

Anyone for cricket?
Is that all there is? Huge build up and we're all done in 11 days. WTC points up for grabs so the next 2 tests aren't dead rubbers Smith will be back but Lyon will be out. Webster could come in for Green and either Murphy or Kuhnemann for Lyon. Rocchicciolo (WA) a possibility? Smith for Inglis? Not sold on Weatherald either and would like to see Renshaw or Kellaway get a chance For Boxing day? Weatherald Head Marnus Smith Khawaja Carey Webster Cummins Starc Murphy/Kuhnemann Boland
