Yet a Vikings win today will give you the Title as you'll be the only person to have picked 3 road winners in week 18 (thus giving you 2 bonus points along with the 6 points for the week) So it all comes down to the wire!! In other news ... it will be 24 days since Mahomes will have played a game when the Chiefs kick off their post season in week 2 of the playoffs

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?

NFL
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
-
NFL
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

NFL
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
-
NFL
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

Nuggets' Music Videos
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
-
NFL
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

NFL
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

You've gone early and it paid off, Gonzo! 2 in the bank!! Although, at this stage of the season, most of the teams that should win, often do win But there's nearly always 1 trap game and sometimes 2 trap games You're in a good position right now

NFL
Even though Detroit have had a dominant season, they could still slip to the wild-card position and be on the road throughout the playoffs The week 18 match-up against the Vikes will probably decide things (unless the Lions go a game clear after week 17) Regardless, the Lions or the Vikings will be on the road in the 1st week of the playoffs against the winner of the NFC South (Atlanta or Tampa Bay) ... or possibly against the winner of the NFC West (Rams or Seattle) And the Packers might need some help from Atlanta (@ Washington) in order to avoid a trip to Philadelphia in the first week of the playoffs. Packers destiny is in their own hands though (@ Minnesota then home to the Bears) in order to finish as the 6 seed Haven't had a close look at the AFC yet but there are probably similar stories in that conference

Reasonably sure that if the Rams beat Arizona next week, you win the division regardless of the week 18 result against Seattle That's what the playoff machine told me anyway! And your match-up in the playoffs would probably be the Packers or Washington NFL Playoff Machine

Only 3 Road winners this week but T_U managed to snag all 3 and in the process, picked up a bonus point. Well played! We play for Double Points in the last 2 weeks (17 & 18) Entering the final straight, just about anyone can win and the scores have really tightened up at the top Leaderboard Tipping Comp 37 - Go the Biff (1) 36 - Dr.Gonzo (1), titan_uranus (4) 35 - Clintosaurus (1) 34 - layzie (1) 32 - Gorgoroth (1), DemonDave (0) 30 - DeeSpencer (0), JV7 (0) 29 - BDA (0) 27 - ElDiablo14 (1), Macca (0)

@Clintosaurus @titan_uranus @ElDiablo14 @Gorgoroth @Go the Biff @Dee Zephyr @DemonDave @Dr. Gonzo @JV7 @BDA @Dappa Dan @layzie @DeeSpencer Week 16 Power Rankings A reminder that we play for double points in weeks 17 & 18 so there is time to bridge the gap for the backmarkers. Those near the lead will have an interesting time of it coming up with 3 sure-fire road winners this week Lions look the winners but it is a divisional game @ Chicago Arizona only -4.5 @ Carolina? Are they the banker? Rams, Eagles, Vikings & Tampa all at -3.5? It's a tricky week and not the week to not snag 3 points! Will Mahomes play? And if not, can Houston (-2.5) take advantage?
