They will this week, but I'd bet on a home underdog Andrew Luck 24/7/365 imo

sans Wayne? dude is a completely different player

If the KC@IND matchup happens I'll gladly take your money.

appreciate the offer but i'll preemptively decline. i pitched in a decent chunk of money into a season long pool that includes playoffs. unlike avante i plan to manage my gambling tbh

[Chief Brody]

No worries, but betting against an elite, clutch QB at home who will also be an underdog, when the opposing QB is Alex Smith doesn't sound like a winning proposition.

Luck hasn't been playing at an elite level since he lost his Sidney Rice though. for what its worth, i'll be pulling for the colts, but dont have high expectations

I had some hopes for the Lions...

megatron wasting his career playing for the Lions
but but Stafford is white, how dat possible ?

[spurraider21]

its not a guarantee for success. just a requisite in most cases

[Chinook]

If the Dolphins, Ravens and Bengals are tied after week 17, the Bengals miss the playoffs..

Not necessarily. If they finish tied with New England, then it's the Patriots who miss instead. Certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

Losing at home to the Bills is out of the realm of possibility.

I don't think I've ever seen a final weekend with so many important games. There is not one playoff team with the ability to rest their starters.

Edit: I guess technically, the Cheifs can rest their starters as they have the 5 seed locked up regardless.

Yep, was editing my comment at the same time you wrote this

[spurraider21]

dolphins lost to Geno

with ravens losing to the bengals and steelers winning, its up to San Diego. if they beat Chase Daniel, they're in the playoffs. if they lose, Pittsburgh gets in

[elemento]

yeah Flacco and that 120m contract !

At least it was SD that got in, not the Steelers.
