Panthers and Titans are so bad. If Colts and Saints win, need Panthers and Titans to play 1 good last game. howid the fuck is Twannyhill still on the Titans rooster? When he blew the Bungals playoff game a couple years back, that should have been enough.

Panthers and Titans are so bad.

I'm on both this week

 

[Dell Dude]

If Titans win, no conflict with Bills/Fish. Will be Bills for division. Otherwise a choice of division or Steelers. Will depend if I get the other divisions.

Two years ago they drafted his replacement in Malik Willis, that didn't work out, last year they drafted Will Levis, he hasn't impressed either, it's not like they're content with Tannehill, they're trying to replace him, he'll be on another roster next year

I have a future on the Bills +120 to win the division, I'll use that as an emotional hedge as a Dolphin fan

I like fading the teams that "need" to win, it's not like the other team will just lay down, as bad as they are, I expect an all out effort from the Titans and Panthers, especially since these are division games

 

[FairWarning]

Chicago-Green Bay will be very interesting. We’ll see how much Chicago has progressed since the Week One matchup. The Bears have a lot to play for, just not for the playoffs.

Played Detroit -3, think Minn is a dead team with all the injuries. Detroit is playing the starters also.

Watson back for green bay?

Watson back for green bay?

January 3, 2024
Watson (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
In his first on-field work since suffering a strained right hamstring Week 13 against the Chiefs, Watson predictably operated with a cap on his reps. Speaking of the Packers' No. 1 wide receiver, coach Matt LaFleur told Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that Watson is coming off a good week and will need to make appreciable progress this time around to put himself in a position to return Week 18 versus the Bears. Per Matt Schneidman of The Athletic, Watson himself was more optimistic, saying, "My passion is playing football, and now it's looking a lot like I'm going to be able to play some football this Sunday." Ultimately, Watson has two more sessions to prove his health before the team potentially makes a ruling on his upcoming availability as soon as Friday.

ok so have to wait on that for a couple of days......jaylen johnson got dinged up last game..did not practice today.......could get interesting

I liked the 49ers -3 however I have to think the Rams are motivated to win and get a 6 seed versus lose and #7.

The Rams know they have a chance v. Lions at 6.....Eagles at 7......well Eagles pushed them around at home reg season.

Have to think Frisco money is a Wentz fade.

 

[Dell Dude]

Then it depend on San Fag whether they play to win or play to 0:00.

 

[Dell Dude]

My philosophy as head ball coach is rest if wild card, play if #1 seed.

 

[Valuist]

One thing we learned about the footage of Tyreek Hill's house burning. Hill was seen wearing a walking boot, so we know he isn't 100 pct.

 

[kane]

My philosophy as head ball coach is rest if wild card, play if #1 seed.

I agree, rest guys that are banged up but play your healthy starters at least for a half, if Balt and SF rest all their guys that means they'll have two weeks off, that's too much down time

thursday update

Cornerback Jaylon Johnson was once again sidelined with a shoulder injury, although he insists that he "100 percent" expects to play against the Packers on Sunday.

Rams are sitting out players also. Health> 6/7 seed.

 

[Murphy’s Best]

Who would the Rams rather play ?? Dallas or Detroit….

Teams are more likely to value health over a road opponent. Rams are sitting Stafford, Kupp, K Williams.

 

[Heim]

It's interesting with Puca. He's in until he breaks the rookie yards record...then out. Let's hope Wentz doesn't let him down

 

[Dell Dude]

Thank you.

Six Ravens ruled out for season finale vs. Steelers; Odell Beckham to join Lamar Jackson on sideline
Baltimore will be resting several players for the final regular season game

Steelers in. Lions vs Packers or Vikings. Bills, Boys, Aints, Colts division winners. And of course:

Downgraded to doubtful

Steelers in

Not so fast my friend, even though the Ravens are sitting a lot of guys, this is one of the best rivalries in the NFL, the Ravens would love nothing more than to knock the Steelers out of the playoffs, and you still need Mason Rudolph to win a big game on the road

Laying more than 3. This has been a dog series, sure has the feel of a 19-17 game.

 

[Dell Dude]

As long as Tomlin 19.

 

[ZzyzxRoad]

Anyone betting the Commanders? It seems like the right side, but not sure.

 

[blueline]

Watson (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
This may (or may not) be indicative of a setback, after the Packers listed Watson as a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday. The wideout suggested Wednesday that he expects to play Sunday against the Bears, and coach Matt LaFleur also made fairly optimistic comments.

 

[blueline]

Bears owner Virginia McCaskey turns 101 today

 

[Dell Dude]

Here we go tomorrow. Steelers and Colts. Could go 0-2 or 2-0. If I lose everything, just means 0-18 and I'll have to rely on trophies.

 

[FairWarning]

I would if Howell wasn’t the QB. He’s really slumped, but Brissett has a hamstring issue. I don’t think Wash is playing the starters much, they want the 1.2 pick, something to watch.

The only prop I've played in that game is Chris Boswell under 6 1/2 points scored. We have 19 mphs winds; not gusting to 19 but steady 19 mph. I can't fade Tucker but I will fade Boswell.

 

[pro analyser]

Bad weather and high winds fh balt pitt settling down 2nd half. Bad weather(snow) giants and NE

 

[Dell Dude]

Steelers easy. They need 1 loss by 1 team.

 

[Dell Dude]

I did that.

 

[Dell Dude]

Colts to set division look.

 

[Dell Dude]

Houston better team with better QB.

 

[Dell Dude]

Going to need to get Andrew Lucky,
