Proof is in the pudding, it worked! I cannot believe how great that second half was. Doug Pederson is everything MILF wishes he was.

Has Rodgers ever done anything like what Lawrence just did right now? I don’t think he has it in him to get out of such a bad start.

I doubt he does anymore, no. Mah knee game had a big comeback like this though.

Why in the hell would you go for two there? It worked but my god, risky!

I bet Jacksonville on the money line instead of taking the 2.5. when he went for two and made it a two-point game I was so pissed at myself. Sometimes you get lucky I guess.

And that does it for Seattle. Obliterated in the 2nd half.

Packers would've gotten blown out.

Packers would've gotten blown out.

I'm not so sure. Packers played Buffalo and Philadelphia on the road and hung in those games despite getting off to bad starts. Packers weren't good this year, but they weren't a doormat either.

Oh, was there football yesterday? I guess somebody plays today too hahahahaha. The season's hanging by a thread right now for me. If/when the Cowboys lose, and their chances make even me unoptimistic, I will tune out completely. Good riddance, NFL, until the Packers are back playing.

So thought I would check in with my breakdown of the games today. I don't love any of the lines, but since I am an action junkie I bet a 3 team teaser. Played Cincy, NY and Buffalo.

I think Harbaugh will muddy up this game to high hell and it will be horrible watching it. In the end I think he may cover 9, but I doubt he can make me lose at 3. Worst case I can see is a push, but I think its more likely to be around 7 in the end as the lack of a QB vs the best young QB in the game will write the story.

MN is an enigma. I want to believe they are for real, but this is just a bad matchup. A team that generates good interior pressure against a team that can't stop it. Cousins is not going to be comfortable today and he needs a reasonable pocket to be effective. Tack on a really bad defense and I like the Giants getting 8.5. If I had bet it yesterday I could have gotten 9.

Finally the HUGE favorite. Buffalo probably will cover the 14, but I just can't lay that wood. However Miami is bad on the road and even though Bridgewater is active, I think he'll be limited. Miami is up and coming with a couple great WR, but they just don't have the guns. Buffalo will be hyper focused with it being a playoff game. Like SF yesterday, Buffalo is better in every area except starting 2 WR. Even there, the gap is covered up by the 3/4s. I think its a blowout of at least the 8 I'm laying.

Thats it. Happy gameday rats.

I'm reneging on callin Allen a top 3. 2 picks with a big lead is inexcusable.

[King Friday]

Add a fumble. Even the Packers could beat the Dolphins…sheesh.

They may not even win to be fair.

When did Daniel Jones turn into Lamar Jackson?

[King Friday]

Vikings could really use a TD here before halftime.

[King Friday]

And there it is! I expect the Vikings to corral Jones in the second half and pull away. Jones can’t be that good again, can he?

He's playing a pretty good game and the Vikings allow receivers to go through them like shit though a goose. Not sure how this ends.

[smuggler]

Vikings defense has just been bad at times this year and this game is in line with that. Fortunately for the Purple People, they have an offense that could respond.

The Giants are pesky team in the playoffs.

When did Daniel Jones turn into Lamar Jackson?

He's got the highest top speed of any QB in the league. I thought that was pretty well known. He just doesn't have the other movement skills of Lamar.
