Macca

Not out of it, just need to get your game going. Run the ball?

@Gorgoroth , @BDA , @layzie , @Dee Zephyr Tips, gentlemen (reminder that there are 2 games on tomorrow)

Dallas, Baltimore, Seattle

Latrelle Windsor Lindsay Culley Tholstrup All with a strong element of hope but if 3 of the 5 have impactful seasons, that's a win

There's a bonus point on offer if you (or anyone else) happens to be the only participant to correctly tip 3 road winners Not sure it has happened this year but over the past 3 or 4 years, the bonus point has been awarded a few times So, effectively, this year, the bonus point on offer can make a difference ... especially with the last week of games being so difficult to find road winners Anyway, A Happy New Year to all!

King has 2 major tasks* and it won't be easy Get the best out of our experienced/mature players (that includes those players aged 22/23) Develop the young blokes and give them all a good grounding To play finals** we're going to need at least 8-10 stand-out performers, most weeks. Right now, that's a bit of an ask, but you never know It's starts with Gawn, Langdon, Kozzie, Steele, Lever, Salem, Fritsch, Bowey, Rivers, Petty, Chandler, Melksham, Sparrow, Turner, Mihocek & Viney (when healthy) Get 8 - 10 of them firing (most weeks) and we'll be quite competitive to a point where we can win at least 9-10 games If not, we're going to struggle *Aside from implementing a new plan, instilling confidence in the group and other matters **Remember the 10, the top 10!

(6+1) Good luck!

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

And back again!

Rams looked gone and have now got the momentum. Go figure!!

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

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)

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

Thank you, Vikings!
