Wildcard weekend. Your upset call.

Steelers and rams

MONEY!!!!!

Steelers play has been bad the last 4 games which they have all lost  .  They are a team backing into playoffs .  Ravens ,  on the other hand ,  have been playing at ahigh level the last 4 games .  Even with their past playoff issues ,  hard to see how the Ravens would not smoke the Steelers .

Luckily that’s not how sports work or there would be no reason to watch. Each game is a separate entity. Injuries definitely affect how a team may perform. But just because the Steelers haven’t played well their last four games doesn’t mean they won’t this weekend. Ravens are the more talented team no doubt. Steelers are certainly capable of the upset. They have beaten this team plenty and aren’t phased by Lamar. Would I bet money on the Steelers, no. But they definitely can upset the Ravens. Depends which Steelers team shows up. Same can be said for any of these games. There is almost always an upset on wild card weekend, usually a couple.

I hope the idiots picking the Broncos to upset the Bills keep it up. We need a big dose of disrespect going into the playoffs. Fill that bulletin board right up.

I think you kind of defeated your own argument when you say “would I bet money on the Steelers , no.”  Sure ,  on any given Sunday a bad team like the reeling Steelers can beat a top team like the Ravens .  But how often would that happen ? 10-15% of the time ?  And as we are seeing ,  tonight ,  bad teams don’t tend to  do well against good ones

  Hello?

Yeah, it's Ralonzo.

  Excuse me, who?

I just watched the wild card games. I'm really ***** upset.

I don't think it qualifies as an upset bet, but is anyone putting five grand on the Vikings to win? 😁

Pittsburgh may be the worst play off team ever. That team blows

[eball]

Ok, I was waaaaay off on thinking PIT could pull off the upset and that Baltimore would be tight.  My bad.

 

Look out for Green Bay today, though.

I just don’t see it.  To me it seems like the Eagles are gonna destroy the Pack. But I’ve been wrong once before!

I really thought they’d have a competent, coherent plan on defense, but… nope.

Chargers over the Texans for sure. Herbert has been my guy since day 1 and I will ride with him. 

 

Steelers-Ravens is a weird rivalry in which anything can happen. Crazy things happen in that rivalry all the time and they just played a couple of weeks ago so who the heck knows? 

Well….
