Do you see any teams playing in mid January besides Seattle, GB, Denver, or NE ?

[EveryGamblersDream]

Seattle will be 3 1/2 ov AZ is my guess

I am actually thinking Arizona will be -1 or -2 in that game.

I don't buy that St. Louis is on a real roll as they have played 2 chump teams in a row. Show me something this week against a strong Cardinals team.

Stl won 5 of the last 7 and could easily be 7 in a row if not for some last minute mishaps. They also beat Sea and Den.

Pitt, Balt, Det are the only possible apple cart upsetters, IMO.
As much as the Saints are ragged on, and they deserve it, if they can somehow host Ariz in week 1, they will advance. IF Ariz makes the playoffs, going against them in week 1 will likely be one of my biggest bets in the playoffs. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get the chance, as they'll lose out and won't make the playoffs.

AFC: Ravens, SD, Indy
NFC: Philly

A deep run by any of these teams wouldn't shock me.

Possible

If Detroit wins out they get a 1st round bye. Huge game vs GB last week of the season. Whoever wins that game most likely gets the #1 or # 2 seed and the loser the #6 seed.

Nobody is talking about Detroit's Defense but here is a legit stat. In the past 32 years the 2000 Baltimore Ravens have had the best rushing Defense in the NFL giving up a total of 970 total rushing yards in 16 games. The Lions D is closely on pace to beat that record. That Baltimore D is considered one of the top 5 defenses in the Super Bowl era. Food for thought. This Lions D makes all teams one dimensional and if Nick Fairley can get back on the field you just cannot run up the middle between Suh and Fairley.

agree with what you're saying....only problem, I don't trust Stafford

KC was a favorite at AZ on Sunday.. Why wouldn't Seattle be ?

That's what Joe buck kept saying during the Seahawks game on Sunday then they came from behind and beat the Chiefs.

by the way anyone else see that game I think Troy and Joe were hung over. Both unshaven and acting real strange in the booth almost like they were still drunk.

I didn't hear that but they were fortunate to win that game because of a huge bad call on a fumble late in the 4th on KC. We will see . Should be interesting.

Troy and Joe have been boozing it up for a while

 

[REDEYE]

I need some of that to get thru some of these Sundays !

 

[FairWarning]

Problem with Detroit winning out - they suck outside in December, and they haven't won in GB since '91.

LOL - They were doing the "No Shave November" thing.

I think Indy could make some noise. Andrew Luck is the real deal.

 

[barman]

If Dallas can handle Philly Sunday night they have Indy at home and close w Washington. Thus a solid shot to finish 12-4 and get a first round bye. With likely top rushing offense and NFL's greatest FG kicker they would be a good bet to make Final Four

Another poster said the same thing. What about victories against Denver, Seattle, and SF?

 

[The Guesser]

Well they would have a tiebreaker over Detroit...warrants mentioninig

Probably need 2 wins

Will be +3.5 @ Stl and around +2 to 3 at home vs Seattle, can't really predict the line on that last week yet

Advance line has them +6.5 hosting Seattle.

 

[CHOPTALK]

Chop ,, please keep the Saints out of this thread

No problem. I'm more focused onFebruary
then I am January

Move it up to about +8.5 if Lindley has to start. The #1 seed will be more than a TD Dog AT HOME. Assuming they wind up the #5 seed, which seems likely as they hold Tie Breakers over any other potential WC team, and assumng they have to go into NO, or even ATL with Lindley or Thomas at QB, they will have close to zero chance, IMO.

Hanging your hat on beating the 49ers is nothing considering how awful they have played lately. All bets are off though with my line prediction if Stanton is done.

 

[Albatross]

Zona has more detrimental injuries than anyone in the league. They will be 1 and done unless they draw the South in the first round.
