2022-23 NFL Playoffs thread

Predictions feel impossible….I’ll be back with my thoughts

I feel like the AFC will pretty much chalk except for the 4/5.  I think the Chargers  win and then are the sacrificial lamb to the Chiefs.  The Bills Bengals game will be epic but I think homefield and the script will be too much for the beat up Bengals.   Bills then win on the neutral field to go to the Super Bowl. 

NFC will be fun. 

 Niners win in a blowout.  

Brady owns the Cowboys but Tampa is not good.  Cousins sucks when it's not 1:00 PM.  Both of those games are a toss up.  

If Hurts is 100% the Eagles will lose to the Niners in the NFCCG.  If not, another NFC east team will.  

Bills over Niners in the Super Bowl.  Purdy runs out ofmagic.  

Wildcard Weekend

49ers not crisp and Seahawks have some tricks…but doesn’t change the outcome

49ers 27

Seahawks 17

Bills up their game a bit but still show signs of not being a top contender…Dolphins show some fight.

Bills 31

Dolphins 20

Vikings and Giants….potentially the best matchup of the weekend but I’ll guess one of them are garbage and game not close 

Vikings 27

Giants 12

Chargers and Jaguars….lord folks don’t put money on this game. I’m riding with San Diego and still think they can scare/upset Chiefs 

Chargers 23

Jags 20

Bengals and Ravens….at no point this season have I bought in on the Ravens. Lamar or not (no way he’s not very rusty if he does play)…Bengals have trended the right direction pretty much most of the way. Nothing beyond “NFL” makes this game seem competitive.

Bengals 34

Ravens 17

Cowboys and Buccaneers….tough. Little faith in Dak, Brady is really old. Coin flip in OT decides it.

Buccaneers 32

Cowboys 26…,OT

Niners- 35

Sea Chickens- 10

Bills- 45

Fins- 13

Jags- 24

Bolts- 20

Rats- 28

Bengals- 27

Vikings?

You are really riding the “Bengals are lucky” card. What do you see in the Ravens? They look like a bottom 12 team to me that Harbaugh took to a winning record but doing nothing impressive.

Seems like people are pretty split 50/50 if Lamar is playing? My guess is he is, but like I’ve said idk if that’s good or bad. 

Bengals have lost two offensive lineman starters the last couple weeks which isn’t great, especially against Baltimore. Honestly, if they were to lose to Buffalo next weekend, then whatever. But losing to Baltimore on Sunday would be tough. I badly want them to crush those assholes.

Sorry. Overlooked the Vikes.

Giants- 23

Vikings- 21

As far as the Bengals/Rats game, that's just a gut feeling. Bengals were luckier than they were good last year but this year they are a very good team. Just predicting a surprise. Probably wrong but just have a weird feeling.

Tua officially out. Skylar Thompson remains QB1, Dolphins hope Bridgewater will be ready.

Reports this morning sound not great for Lamar.

I really don’t think it matters at all.

I’m not buying the Buccaneers getting blown out…I could see how they would but I doubt it happens. Dallas better hope it isn’t close though.

Fins will get boat raced with Thompson at QB1.

From Harbaugh's pissed off tone in his pressers, I'm getting the feeling that Lamar is more "hurt" than he is "injured." I think this is more of a "see, look how valuable I am to this team....PAY me" ploy than Poop Daddy being seriously injured.

Tampa's offense is pretty putrid. If Dallas sends the hounds, specifically Parsons, it will be a long day for the Bucs.

Changing my prediction on the Bengals/Rats game:

Bengals- 27

Rats- 13

Thought Poop Daddy would be back but apparently he'll sit out another week to show the Rats his value.

Yet Dallas has a long history of turning chicken salad into chicken shit.

Indeed

Dallas could also stink it up and lose to anyone. For one the of the few times in my life, I’ll be pulling for Tom. 

The Lamar injury is fascinating if it’s contract related. Both sides could be working against themselves for not getting it done sooner. Baltimore could be underachieving again season without him. Lamar could be hurting his own value by continually not being available at the most important time of the season.

Same here. One of those games where I don't care what team wins other than how I do love watching Jerry's syphilitic ass failing over and over again.

Trevor looks like poo poo
