if the ravens feed ray rice the ball and flacco doesn’t drop the ball they can win this one

Speaking of dropping the ball, it’s Ray Rice in postseason play!

Not going to games until they start winning 90 a year seems to me the very definition of “fair weather”.

Den defense is overrated

if the ravens feed ray rice the ball and flacco doesn’t drop the ball they can win this one.

if there’s one rematch that i think has the best chance for upset it’s this one.

manning ain’t exactly king midas when it comes to playoff performances and turnovers.

if Denver wins, I don’t see them beating NE, even at home, with the Pats offense.

I’d favor Den slightly because of homefield, but agree NE is the better team. Den defense is overrated

think Denver is good, but what above average team wouldn’t roll to 9 wins with that soft 2nd half schedule?

if Denver wins, I don’t see them beating NE, even at home, with the Pats offense.

No clue what this is.

Really? I’ve gone to the well to make fun of it way too many times over the last three years…having to come up with a gimmick to generate crowd noise is the most Atlanta thing I can think of

Brady fucking up my Super Bowl pick of Houston a week before Manning would do the same anyway.

Kaepernick and Willis uber alles.

God loves murderers

It’s true. Just look at the Old Testament.

Or Notre Dame’s 2012 regular season.

Project 115 back?

No clue what this is.

the Dome gets loud as fuck for big Falcons’ games

It’s true. Just look at the Old Testament.

Seems to support the notion that it’s a bad idea to limp into the playoffs. Texans blew their wad in the Detroit-Jacksonville OT wins.

USC was in a gray area

wrong place

compare this to Big Ben, who allegedly had his gray area in the wrong place.

Lance Thomas bought Bush’s Heisman that USC took out of their trophy room at auction and then had it melted down for jewelry

Hmm, I thought Bush had melted it down already to vajazzle Kim K’s hindquarters, then had to go out and melt down O.J.’s as well to make sure they had enough.

Ray Murda

But he’s close to God. He’ll even tell you himself

Since 1990 teams that 1) Lost their last regular season game and 2) Hosted and WON the Wild Card game are then 1-17 SU and 3-14-1 ATS in the Division Round of the playoffs. The average point difference in these games including the one 21 point win is (-18.28) points. Not only are teams getting beat, many are getting beat badly.

Here are the division round scores and lines for 18 teams that lost week 17, and then hosted and won the wildcard round:

Anyone like Green Bay, Baltimore, or Houston this weekend?

Kind of proves my point. If I lived in Houston I’d still go to games. I went to 12 home games in 1991, which was, prior to the last two seasons, their worst season ever.

The W-L total will still be pretty bad this year, but some of our best prospects are going to start filtering onto the 25 man roster this season and should be really exciting to see. Jonathan Singleton won’t be there for at least 50 games though. He tested positive for marijuana again and got nailed with a suspension by MLB.
