    First game should be a classic. Second game depends on which Goff shows up.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    Which Goff shows up usually depends on how much pressure defensive front puts on him. He often doesn't handle pressure well, but he can sling it if he's protected.

    WHERE would you lay your coin on ?

    My gut tells me San Fran handles Detroit if Deebo plays but who knows in the NFL
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    There's more games? Why? The relevant season is OVER.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    I like the 49ers. Lions defense isn't great, and it looks like Deebo is okay. 49ers really know how to defend the middle of the field and may be able to shut down LaPorta.

    Ravens/SF Super Bowl, methinks.

    I think I'd lay money on SF and the points. Not sure I'd touch the Ravens/Cheifs game

    I'll probably nibble at the under in the SF/Det game. Fans and casual bettors see CM3, Amon Ra, and get all wet. Championship games usually turn into slugfests and end with scores like 20-17.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    So SF, Balt, and KC are basically top 5 defenses in the league. Some metrics might label them subtly different, but they are all 3 in the top 10 in most measureables.

    So say it with me. Defense wins championships.

    Yep. Chiefs just stopped Lamar and now marching downfield. Not looking good for Baltinore.

    One Chiefs starting OT out with injury. If his replacement holds up, Chiefs can win. Ravens lead NFL in sacks without blitzing a lot.

    I’d take both road teams w/ the points and think at least one road team wins. Hope it’s Lions Ravens

    This household rooting for the Ravens if only to avoid anymore Kelce/Swift coverage.

    Seemed like Jackson’s arm was moving forward on that strip, should it not be an incomplete pass?

    Patrick Mahommes is the GOAT; I knew it's a bit young but Crown his ass now ahead of when everybody will call him the GOAT 10 years from now.

    Wins 89 and Losses 23

    Of those 23 losses only 3 were by over 6 points, which is insane

    I missed some other crazy stat but it was something like in the 10 times he's been the underdog by over 4 points he's 9-1 versus the spread

    I don't care if Baltimore comes back; crown his ass now

    The ability of Mahomes to use his legs is the key. That is why Love needs to study hard this offseason on when to use his legs. It is better to pick up 4 yards on a scramble than throw an incompletion.
