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

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

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?

6 of 7 road teams prevailed in the early games and 3 of 5 teams lead in the late games Might be another clean sweep by all participants (again) in the tipping comp

The Bills have been very good and if they can make it a 3 score game after this drive, they might be home

Here's a book written in the 1850's about the fascinating life of William Buckley (Buckley's Chance) It tells the story of convict William Buckley who escaped from captivity during an exploration of Port Philip in 1802 (specifically Sorrento) ... he consequently lived and roamed with the indigenous people of Victoria until 1835 when John Batman and Pascoe-Fawkner arrived and soon after settled in Melbourne Obviously, the book is out in the public domain so a bit of summer reading for those that are interested The Life and Adventures of William Buckley

You'd be annoyed if you didn't pick up 3 points in the tipping comp this week Chiefs, Cinci, Washington, Atlanta & Baltimore should all win against mediocre (or lesser) opposition But the week has at least 8 very good match-ups starting tomorrow with the Rams @ 49ers Bills @ Lions, Steelers @ Eagles, Packers @ Seattle, Bucs @ Chargers, Commanders @ Saints, Colts @ Denver and Dolphins @ Texans could all go either way and all the results of those games have play-off implications
