vikings overvthr past few yrs had many one score games. One year they were on the high end but another year they were on a low end chargers and broncos have had these seasons too. I think Russell Wilson first year in Denver they were something like 4-8 in one score games. Steelers also have had many one score games. Not sure what you mean

Denver has to play…. bye next week Colts at Chargers at Bengals Chiefs if dolphins and bengals win… while denver and Indy are on byes and thry win the following week and colts beat broncos the standings could look like Den 8-6 Indy 7-7 beat Miami , and turn beat denver. Mia 7-7 Cin 6-8

The discussion really should be here instead of game threads on evaluating the young QBs drafted in recent years 2024 draft 1 chicago Williams 2 Washington Daniels 3 New England Maye 8 Atlanta Penix 10 minnesota McCarthy 12 Denver Nix 2023 draft 1 Carolina Young 2 Houston Stroud 4 Indianapolis Richardson 33 Tennessee Levis

Hold my beer…..

Yes gate revenue is split 60/4 innthr NFL but not other re rune such as suites, boxes, premium seat fees.

and a Super Bowl in April…..

thr idea of build leads and make opponent change their game plan whic is to the advantage of the defense is common

The clinch #1 seed after beating jets, im sitting key starters at New England

want to play this game…. Afc west playing nfc south..worse than the nfc west nfc east also isn’t good either the nfc north is the toughest division and afc south and nfc west are playing them. in thr NFC North you have Detroit, min, gb at 1,2,3 losses. Then there is the bears — L on Thursday when they coukd have tied, blocked FG against gb, Hail Mary against was, Vikings OT L, Texans, colts werr other 2 score loses. They are now -8 but they could easily be 7-5 everyonebof their W was a one score game in the 4th. 11-0 in one score games is a major outlier. Most teams in 11 one score games would be between 4-7 wins, not 11 so they should be more like 7-5 or 8-4

Ideal playoff scenario with bills as one seed…. Bills Steelers Chargers/ chiefs Texans Chiefs/ chargers Ravens #7-Broncos/Colts/ Fins Steelers lost to colts, Steelers got broncos early in season Bills survivor survivor #7 seed Bills survivor winner

Easiest way for chargers to win the division….. chargers beat chiefs and W out chiefs lose to broncos in week 18 and chiefs lose an additional game they would be tied at 13-4, split H2H, Chargers 5-1 div vs chiefs 4-2 Thots the stinger in fridays Raiders loss because that L also created the same situation

Updated the standings… as for the NFC… it appears to be East - Eagles North - Lions South - Falcons/ Bucs are both B6-6 but falcons seep H2H so bucs must finish ahead saints are within 2 games so it’s possible West — up for grabs between all 4 teams the 3 WC appear to be 3 of Lions, Vikings, Packers, and Commanders. If these faulter then it opens up for TB/ ATL and west 2nd place teams

IIRC saints re diving group has bern hit by injuries so he got more plays in a position of primary or secondary target. buffalo has a lot more options in plays and a QB who isn’t focused on just one receiver so the ball gets spread out.

Recap their season… baltimore— last play of game TD missed by a hair to tie on XP or W if thry go forv2 cincunati- late game PI sets thrm up for a %51 clock expiring FG Atlanta - 3rd and 4th and 1 at KC 13 with a minute to go needing a YD and failed Chargers — tied 4th. KC TD with 6 to go. Chargers punted,kc held ball saints — down 16-13 early 4th . KC scored 10. 49ers — early 4th SF down 21-12 have ball1st and goal and throw a pick. Raiders — kc throws a pick, 1st and goal inside 5 down 17-13 , they failed on downs late 3rd. KC gets a FG postvtutnover, raiders turn it over down 7 with about 6 left Tampa bay — OT win, TB score a late TD and should have gone for 2 and win. Broncos — blocked FG st end of game for win Bills — they lost Carolina — lAs play FG to win by3. Raiders — in FG range but a botched play gifts chiefs the win next games….. Chargers at browns — Cleveland beat both PIT and BAL at home this year. This isn’t a walk over Texans at Steelers at Broncos given the way the last 5 games look this screams the eagles dropping after 10-1. if you look at teams one score games. Most teams are around 500 or a game away like 4-2 or 3-5 . Teams outside thst are outliers.

Does not mean the game can’t change to 1 pm does not mean the NFL could override them

Also baltimore was a bit more motivated given what happened in their home opener in a los to the Raiders

if IB had a good team, won MAC got in the 12 team tourney, playing at bills stadium, that stadium would fill. Same f threy hosted a big team like say Penn Start in Bills stadium.

logic of the games… Lions and Cowboys traditionally home and FOX had the late slot this year CBS had titans, jags, and bills at Detroit. Bills werent going to be thxgvg again. Thry took a divisional game. Bears having a drafted QB coukd have some attraction. cowboys …divisional is logical. Giants were expected to be better. can’t flex these games. dolphins at packers looks to be two good teams in playoff battle Tua got injured which hurt finscrecord another factor that has bern a regular patter, two of the 6 teams who play on Thursday also play onnthr prior or next Thursday They are going to battle the whirlpool deciding who gets sucked down first.

Both networks have 425games. It happens 2 times a year final week and another week. This year week 15. typo NFL

week 15 is a dual network DH week. Unlike the chiefs- bills as the schedule stands now it’s not a solo game just because CBS posts it does not mean CBS wins out. The NFZl could perused them to let go of it for NBC. we won’t know till next week

What I’d like to see happen in the future… NBC early 11am game ( from europe/brazil) then you have dual DH starting at 3 pm and second one at 625 pm

pas I mentioned…both pit- PHL and bills- lions are big games. If one isn’t moved to nbc, thrn both networks would like thrm to be solo national games ( outside of home team blackouts) in thryry you could move one to 1 pm to be exclusive . Thr problem is there are 3 west coast games so they can’t go at 2 pm. But the early 1 pm can go at 425.

Looking back at Baltimore game it came down to a handful of plays where Buffalo could have been leading say 17-13 at half and it finish very differently. On their 2nd and 3rd first half TD drives bills had thrm in 2nd and 3rd and very long and failed to stop them.
