WC Weekend picks. Who do you have.

Recommended Posts

- Browns

- Chiefs

- Bills

- Boys

- TB - Eagles are in disarray on D and look like one of the worst teams in football now

 

- Lions although I think that might be a potential upset alert. Lions secondary has allowed a lot of big passing games and Rams D can bring the heat.

Texans - This is a pretty interesting game. Cleveland has a legit defense and Flacco can make enough plays. But I think being in Houston matters and I also think Stroud is pretty quickly going to be special. Should be a tight game though that could go either way.

Dolphins - Another interesting one. I'm from Missouri and the weather is going to be very cold and likely snowy/rainy before the game. As long as the actual game is dry I think the Dolphins are going to lean on that run game with a few quick hitters to Tyreek and Waddle and score just enough to win. The Chiefs just look a little broken to me offensively although maybe the week off this past weekend resets them. If Mostert and Waddle play, I'll take Miami. If not, Mahomes finally comes to Buffalo.

Bills - Steelers are well coached and they have a solid defense even without Watt. But Mason Rudolph in the cold, wind, and maybe snow on the road? It's just not going to happen. They run the ball decently well and maybe it's not a blowout (nothing is easy with the Bills anyway) but I think the Bills have that special internal belief this year.

Cowboys - The Packers are still a year away or so. If it was in GB maybe it's different but Dallas at home as a different beast. 

Rams - I would love to see the Lions here and I think this is the best game of the weekend. This is also the game I'm most excited for outside of the Bills of course. I think the LaPorta injury is going to be a factor. The Lions still have a lot of weapons and I think they're going to play angry football after feeling they were robbed of the 2 seed. But the Rams are hot, McVay and Stafford have been here, and that defense still has playmakers. Maybe Goff gets his revenge and the Lions will be pumped up playing a home playoff game but experience wins out. Hope not though.

Bucs - Who knows with this one. I don't think the Bucs are good and is Baker Mayfield really going to outduel Jalen Hurts? But the Eagles seem to be imploding and they aren't exactly healthy. Evans, Godwin, White are 3 pretty darn good players and I think the Eagles freefall comes to a thud ending their season.

 

Matchups next week of Texans @ Bills, Dolphins @ Ravens, Rams @ 49ers, and Bucs @ Cowboys might actually be less appealing than this week's games but let's just hope the Bills get there first.

ditto here as well.

 

I do want the Dolphins to win against the Chiefs though. It's odd, my hate for the Chiefs is 2X that of the Dolphins due to us straight owning them since Allen has arrived.

No idea but I am getting more worried about the steelers by the hour.

 

They are going to see the bills interior play has slipped and they are getting beat with pressure through various ways inside and they are going to attack all day.

 

Same thing on offense.  They are going to watch the last few games and wonder why other teams continue to throw the ball and not stay with the run.  

 

To early in the week to make the other picks imo but I think detroit and dallas have got to be a little uncomfortable with the matchups they have also.  The packers seemingly have the parts to play with Dallas and same with the rams....and I feel the same way about the steelers.

I had to live through the 70’s.  Any Bills fans from that era hate the Fish with a passion.

I can imagine that for sure. I didn't really start watching until the 83 season forward. 

 

The Marino/Kelly rivalry was pretty insane and the fan hate was at an all time high. I remember the non stop fights at some of those game late 80's and early 90's.

If they (SF) stay healthy then I think they will be the NFC representative in the Super Bowl. I don't know if Dallas can go to SF and get a win. Probably not. The Eagles have fallen off a cliff. Detroit is good but I don't see them winning in SF either. 

SF is all smoke & mirrors. Dallas will beat 'em this time, they are the better team

2. Bills - The team that doesn't **** up constantly shows up.

5. Browns - Browns are better, I expect a close game here

6. Dolphins - Even as beat up as they are, the Chiefs have issues.

 

 

2. Cowboys - The better team and at home.

3. Lions - This game should be back and forth, I think the Lions pull it out late.

4. Bucs - Something wrong with the Eagles, Bucs benefit from that.
