1. 94 San Francisco 2. 92 Dallas 3. 99 St Louis 4. 14 NE 5. 91 Washington - Yes, this may be an unpopular one but this team just rolled a lot of their competition, including the Lions twice who were the 2nd best team in the NFC. And then, well, you know, the SB that we shall not speak of. All this keeping in mind I didn't start getting into football until 90 so I missed the 85 Bears and all of the 49ers teams of the 80s.

I'm picturing a Babylon Bee headline "WFT to announce that they will finally have an actual football team next year".

Good chance that this will be the last game in Pittsburgh for Ben and the Browns probably feeling a little dejected being eliminated from the playoffs. Picking the Steelers.

Looking like Chargers/Raiders is the best candidate for SNF in week 18 unless I'm missing something.

If Burrow's injury isn't too bad then Cincinnati is shaping up to be a scary to go up against.

Maybe he'll go the Brett Favre root. Retire for the next 5 years then get traded to the Jets.

I am not a big Darry Talley fan. I just wanted to choose a name of someone who maybe isn't one of the first players who comes to mind when you think of Bills greats. It's just one of may ways of being different from everyone else. Heck, I even have a Donte Whitner jersey.

Matt Ryan seemed to be at his best when Julio was in his prime. Anything can happen, of course, but he doesn't really worry me as much as he would have maybe a few years back.

Not only was that a clear catch but it was blatant PI. If this is ruled incomplete then it's like the Dolphins are getting extra screwed.

Yeah, I would go further and say the Colts are definitely hotter right now. Kind of hard to put our run ahead of a team whose run includes coming into our place and destroying us.

Gotta take advantage and use an old Simpsons meme.

Yes, but that was mostly because I already have Allen and Bass starting and I had Beasley and then dropped him after his positive tests only to pick up Davis not too long before his news broke and I didn't want to hex any more of our players. I stand corrected, looks like someone already had Knox so I didn't actually pass up on him. Phew!

Nope, standard 10 team. I guess he got overlooked somehow. Looks like Cooper's had himself a game but, hopefully, for your sake, with the Cowboys up as big as they are, they should mostly be running it in the 2nd half.

If there was any downside for me personally to today's game it was that I have Travis Kelce as my fantasy TE and, since he missed today due to COVID, I had to pick up Henry off the waiver wire and, of course, he did next to nothing. I'll take this over my fantasy team doing well, even in the playoffs.

I recall, from the highlights of last week’s GB/Balt game, the Ravens getting called for a PI jersey grab that was very similar to the one that was not called on GB vs Cleveland on the int in tonight’s game. In the Ravens game I believe it was on a 3rd and 10 and would have most likely led to a Packers FG attempt. Instead, GB ends up scoring a touchdown. More inconsistencies in calls.

Interesting, the Bills may need the Ravens to beat the Bengals to help get us in.

With so many players falling onto the COVID reserve list, I think we all know who is about to get his opportunity:

Harbaugh knowing he can take risks as, barring a sudden string of terrible seasons, he's pretty much going to remain the HC in Baltimore until he decides to leave/retire.

Lions beating Cardinals, Jets beating Dolphins. Just another Sunday.

I am eating crow on the Colts. I thought they were being way over-hyped during the offseason.

Not saying he's the scariest QB out there but do you really think they'd keep winning with Hoyer or Stidham at the helm?

I know we are well past the playoff decision time but I would have been very interested to see who would have made the playoffs if, all else being the same, Baylor had beaten TCU last month. One loss Big 12 champion who also beat a pretty good non-conference team (BYU). How do you keep them out? I'm thinking it would have come down to them, Cincy, or Georgia being out and all three would have had a legitimate claim to getting screwed if they hadn't made it in this scenario.

Someone needs to cough on Mac Jones.

Unfortunately, the Chargers seem to have a very winnable schedule after this game.
