This topic had many older posts which were moved here:

http://gametz.com/General/nfl--612915.html

Other thread died. Playoffs about to happen. Not a ton of seeding drama outside of a couple games. Chiefs pissed away the 1 seed, although it was entertaining. Chargers-Raiders interesting. Rams-9rs. AB is a nut job. Anywho...

Thoughts on current awards lines (this is if you understand money lines)... I see what I think is a fairly low risk bet. Rodgers is currently -400 for MVP. National media is pushing hard for Rodgers being unanimous MVP. I think Brady has a chance, but Rodgers ain't doing anything to hurt his case this weekend, and Brady ain't setting records or taking the 1 seed. Enter my #2 guy, Kupp. He's likely winning the triple crown, and could beat CJ's single season yardage record. A $100 bet on Rodgers covers any losses on a $30 bet on Kupp. Rodgers wins, you get pocket change. Kupp wins you win a few hundred. Brady wins and you lose. Taylor has an outside chance, but he's not breaking any records or the 2000 yard mark in a 17 game season. The other bet, which might be better is bet 30 on Kupp for MVP and 100 for OpotY. He wins the triple crown and he should get one of them. Only think stopping him is if Chase gets 3 more TDs than Kupp, or Taylor has a historic game.

I budget $100 each season for bets. Haven't placed any this season. Thoughts from any casual betters?

(Also intend for this to be the general NFL thread for the post season.. not just betting thoughts though that's welcome)

Wtg Jags! Nobody wanted to see the Titans in again. Now can we get the Lions? Not likely with Seattle in front of them.

I'm glad the Chiefs got the 1 seed and the bye, but it doesn't feel earned this year. AFC is going to be fun for years.

Edit: Houston about to give the Bears the first pick in the draft.

Edit 2: Houston Brass - "Nah"

Nuk reportedly on the trading block. Maybe wait for the new coach before leaking that?

Tua ruled out, so Buffalo did get a bye!

Lamar not practicing. Be interesting to see if he shows and plays last minute... will be telling whether this is about the injury or the contract.

Those 4 first half interceptions weren't all on Lawrence but damn it felt like 2021 Lawrence was on the field. Now it's off to KC next weekend

I had a guy come out on Friday to give me an estimate for some minor house repairs. While he was out here, he said, "I'm sorry to see that you're a 49ers fan." He had noticed a couple of the Niners items I have in my house. We joked back and fourth a little bit, all in good fun. On his way out, he made a parting comment about how the Niners were going to lose. The funny thing is that I agreed to have him do the repair work, so when he shows up on Thursday, I'm not going to say a word about the game. I am, however, going to be dawning a Niners jersey. At some point I will offer him a glass of water, which, if he accepts, will be presented in a Niners cup. I'm gonna have a little fun with this.

They looked rusty on defense in the first half, but came out like gang busters in the second half. Purdy is on another level right now..defense does what they do and dominate the second half (only giving up a garbage time td when they were up by 24). Most complete team.. cant wait for next week.

Oh, and jags dont play chiefs unless bills and Bengals both win..

KCPenguins

Valiant effort by the fins. All else equal they could have won that with Teddy or Tua, not that Skyler was bad. Looked like a hamstrung offense.

Jags @ Chiefs
Giants @ Eagles
Bengels @ Bills
'Boys @ 9rs

Dak is the oldest QB left at 29...

KCPenguins

* 25-Jan-2023(#175)

Some Bengels sounding like douchebags. Going to the AFC championship game and they are whining the nfl presold tickets for the neutral site game, which they also did for a Bengels home AFC championship game. Others saying Mahomes better be 100% (which there is no way he can) as they don't want any excuses. (WtF? You've beaten them 3 times in a row) Burrow saying they are contendors as long as he is there.

I was happy for them last year, would have been happy to see them win it all. If I had to bet I'd bet on them to win on Sunday as I think they have more talent all around. Pretty annoyed by them at this point. Taking the Brady approach to take any possible warped perceived knock as the world is against them. (Sorry Brady fans... could have equally said Jordan) They are a great team, but they are sufferring a bit from little dog syndrome.

Can't wait to here this pregame...
"We was called little dogs, but we the Bengels!"

Reporter "So your not little dogs, your giant furocious cats?"

Bengels players "reporters all calling us big pussies! Disrespectful!"

Edit: Also gg to the Jags, and (after last season) this was a great season for the franchise! Things are looking up, and be interesting to see what the offseason brings for that division.

The Bungholes are in fact, insufferable. They did defend Burfict for years.

Yeah it’s hard to root for teams that have a history of dirty players and culture . Same for the ravens, can never root for them either

You're pretty much describing the AFC North. Steelers are the same way.

I'm so excited/anxious about this Eagles/Niners game. I really think this one could go either way. I think it's great that the two best teams in the NFC are facing off. I'm expecting a low scoring affair, but my biggest concern is Hurts. We've gotta keep him in the pocket and make him beat us with his arm.

Not only is Mahomes banged up, but now Kelce has back issues..

Let's go 49ers!!

KCPenguins

* 29-Jan-2023(#183)

Chiefs activated TE Jody Fortson. Wonder what happened to Kelce's back. Looked like he was full practice on Friday.

Edit: Back spasms. He should be fine.

Temp in upper teens, wind chill in single digits. Moderate wind, no precip.

Aww damn. He hit his throwing hand on the helmet on that fumble. Now out.

Edit: or an elbow. Bosa down. Fortunate start by the Eagles.

This game is a huge bummer. I really wanted to see if Purdy could keep it going.

KCPenguins

* 29-Jan-2023(#187)

Josh Johnson looks completely lost for a veteran back up. Just check it down to CMC, Kittle, Deebo or huck it to Aiuke. Be curious to see how they open the half. Looks like they completely gave up on the idea of Purdy returning.

citizen_zane

29-Jan-2023(#188)

Between Purdy's injury and all of damn defensive penalties, it's not looking so good for the Niners. The good news is that our defense is playing good and we do have a fighting chance, but the odds are increasingly against us at this point. I hope they make some necessary changes in the second half and fight their way back. At this point, I don't expect the Niners to win, but I'm still hopeful that they will pull it off.

Orlandu

29-Jan-2023(#189)

There is a 0% chance the 49ers win this game. If it was tied, maybe they could get away with running the ball. Down 2 touchdowns you either have to rely on the arm of a quarterback who shouldn't even be in the league or defensive/special teams touchdowns. That disaster of a drive at the end of the first half killed them.

KCPenguins

Such a sad outcome... 9rs completely hamstrung. Good job Eagles! Played a heck of a season.

I gotta give Mahomes kudos for sticking it out with that injury he got during the game...

I only caught the ending of the Eagles/49ers game... like the guy punching the football and the guy getting ejected for throwing player...

Then the Bengals/Chiefs game.. that was actually a good game. The penalty calling seemed weird at times, like they'd call one and didn't call another.

Well get used to it. Carl Cheffers' crew is working the Super Bowl. Their crew has been harsh, especially against KC since Travis Kelce said this:

"Referee No. 51 [Cheffers] shouldn't even be able to wear a zebra jersey ever again. He shouldn't even be able to work at f--king Foot Locker."

Everyone knows the Pro Bowl is a joke, but (outcast) Derrick Carr and back-up Tyler Huntley are in it.

I'm an Eagles fan. We always seem to play the best QB at the time in the SB (at least in my lifetime). Brady twice, now Mahomes. Mahomes is my guy, too. Watched him light it up at Texas Tech, and I've loved seeing him flourish under Andy Reid. Honestly, though, I think 1 SB for 5 straight AFC Championships isn't good enough with an all-time talent like Mahomes. I like Andy Reid, but that's why I wasn't sad to see him leave Philly. People call him the best coach in the league, but he's just not. His clock management is especially poor, and you know his teams will throw a lot.

Can't wait for the SB. I had to take off from work (I work Sunday-Thursday nights) because I knew I'd be too emotional (one way or another) to go in that night. I have to admit, I'm very worried. I believe Jalen's injury was much worse than we were led to believe. He has not looked right since it happened. It's my belief that he would've been put on the IR if we weren't in the playoffs. His health has everything to do with my prediction. If he's healthy and the deep ball is on, I think we win 34-27. If his shoulder still isn't right and he can't throw the deep ball, the run game won't be enough. Mahomes will cook us, even though we have some of the best corners in the league. 38-14 KC if that happens.

Brady retired, again, this time 'for good'. He retires with a ton of records, 7 rings, and a winning record against all but 3 teams. Only 1 team has a winning record against Brady.

9rs and Seattle split with Brady. The Chiefs are the only team to be 1 up on Brady, which surprised me as there were some bad Chief teams around 2010 give and take.

I know Brady is considered one of the best but I just dont like the guy. Having the ballboys deflate footballs was straight up cheating and he just seems like a real butt-hole in interviews. I'm glad to see him retire.

Kommie

I mean he seems like a complete egomaniacal butt-hole. Always threw fits on the sideline if he was losing.

I wish more people cared enough to research the deflate gate saga.

It's worth mentioning that 3 of 4 of the Colts' balls tested under the "required" psi that game as well. Not a sniff of an offense thrown at them. It's literally Brady/Pats hate at this point. NFL couldn't prove it in court. What they did have the power to do is uphold their disciplinary actions because they are a private business, guilty or not. Oh, I could go on forever, but then I'm just a homer.

The sideline tantrums I could do without. I'm not sure how grown men just sit there and let another adult act that way towards them on the sideline. This is why I'm glad to see BOB back with the Pats. He didn't always put up with Brady's crap.
Aside from this, Brady has always carried himself well at the podium. His accolades are unmatched. Love him or hate him, I wonder if we'll see anything like it again in our lifetime. It's a shame so many people decided not to enjoy the ride.
