                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                          Like I said, if Seattle brought their A game, they would win. And boy, they brought their A game. Offense, defense, and even special teams...they were clicking. Credit to New England's defense for holding them to field goals for 3 quarters, giving their team a sliver of hope. But man, the Pats just could not get anything going on offense. They went something like 20 minutes of game time without a single first down. The Patriots defense was good. The Seahawks defense was total domination.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I watched the game with a local friend, who's a Rams fan. Towards the end, we were talking and concluded the Rams were really the second-best team in the NFL this year. They were the only team who beat the Seahawks in the last four months, and the only the team who gave them a close game in the playoffs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But anyway, 2025 was a weird year for the NFL. The end of Tomlin in Pittsburgh, Harbaugh in Baltimore, McDermott in Buffalo, the Chiefs stunk. It will feel like the start a new era next year. However, that new era may have already begun. Amidst the changes, the Seahawks quietly put together one the greatest seasons in NFL history. If they can follow this up, 2025 may be the start of the Seahawks Era. Or perhaps KC, Philly, SF, LA, Buffalo(?), or Cincy will bounce back. We'll find out next season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yeah, pretty wild that Sam Darnold became the first QB of the 2018 draft class to win a championship. Weren't Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Josh Allen drafted that year? &lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-7&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;Spoler alert...Yes&lt;/span&gt;</description>

                          Just watched the halftime—&lt;br /&gt;
Fantastic performance from Bad Bunny—&lt;br /&gt;
Great atmosphere, ace production, and he stuck a poignant landing—&lt;br /&gt;
Only &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;minor&lt;/span&gt; gripe is that I wish he kept DtMF up for another 15-20 seconds to close, but otherwise—&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(&amp; I kinda wish they went full-on with Gasolina in the middle, would've been a great interjection) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Good on him. Awesome stuff—</description>

                          Honestly, and this just shows the state of our country considering what a diehard Patriots fan I am, the Halftime show was ALL THAT MATTERED in this year's Super Bowl. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Who had South Park &amp; the NFL as two key pieces of the resistance on their Bingo Card! The NFL has bigger cojones than Harvard!!! (And FAR bigger than Columbia!!!  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Laughing&quot;&gt;🤣&lt;/span&gt; )</description>

Too big for Drake at this point. He's soooo young. Almost wish we didn't make it this far just for his confidence. Pretty sure he will get the support he needs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Love the Darnold Redemption story. Avery good story! &lt;br /&gt;

                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;bbquote-container&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;CA Dreamin wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;bbquote&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-24&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;U&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;R&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seahawks 27, Patriots 23&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both teams are very good, but they're both lacking something...experience. So I think it will come down to who performs better in clutch situations. Who that will be is anyone's guess. Mike Vrabel is the only big name who has a fair amount of playoff experience from his Titans days (and to an extent, his days as a player, but he was in a much different role back then). So that gives NE a small advantage. But I don't know. Seattle feels like the better team by a smidge. NE ranks 3rd in offense, 8th in defense. SEA ranks 8th in offense, 6th in defense. However, Seattle had a much tougher strength of schedule. 7 of their regular season opponents finished with 10 wins or more, whereas NE only played against 3 10-game winners. Seattle undoubtedly played stronger teams, and yet they still finished 14-3, and even had a better point-differential than New England. Even in the playoffs, Seattle had to face two 12-win teams. New England scored good wins against LA and HOU, but when they faced a fellow 14-win rival, the Broncos, they lucked out by having to face them without their star QB, and still only won by 3. My point is, Seattle just feels like they've earned their path more, and looked more impressive along the way. And if they play their A game, they will win. Not to say New England is a slouch. They are undeniably very good, and it isn't their fault they played an easy schedule. I just don't know how they'll handle the best team they've faced so far. They've risen to every occasion though. I don't know. I'm rambling. It's anyone's game, really.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Great points and well said. I'm biased as hell, BUT even I think the&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt; Seahawks &lt;/span&gt;are more likely to win. Their defense just seems soooo freakin' FAST!!! And they all play as one like a coordinated chaos of destruction. And &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Maye&lt;/span&gt; just doesn't have the experience just yet as these playoffs have already shown. He's struggled a bit. This will come down to us being able to spook &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Darnold&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Vrabel&lt;/span&gt; will have to pull out all his tricks and make Darnold second guess himself. He doesn't have to &quot;see ghosts&quot; per say, but we'll need to get him out of his comfort zone. And &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Drake Maye&lt;/span&gt; needs to make TWO special throws. Sort of what &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/span&gt; would do to US in those Super Bowl of yore.  &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ha! I'm on it! The DAY AFTER the game is over I'm on it. (I STILL need to give my final thoughts on &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Technical Ecstasy&lt;/span&gt; too.🤦‍♂️)&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Seahawks 27, Patriots 23&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both teams are very good, but they're both lacking something...experience. So I think it will come down to who performs better in clutch situations. Who that will be is anyone's guess. Mike Vrabel is the only big name who has a fair amount of playoff experience from his Titans days (and to an extent, his days as a player, but he was in a much different role back then). So that gives NE a small advantage. But I don't know. Seattle feels like the better team by a smidge. NE ranks 3rd in offense, 8th in defense. SEA ranks 8th in offense, 6th in defense. However, Seattle had a much tougher strength of schedule. 7 of their regular season opponents finished with 10 wins or more, whereas NE only played against 3 10-game winners. Seattle undoubtedly played stronger teams, and yet they still finished 14-3, and even had a better point-differential than New England. Even in the playoffs, Seattle had to face two 12-win teams. New England scored good wins against LA and HOU, but when they faced a fellow 14-win rival, the Broncos, they lucked out by having to face them without their star QB, and still only won by 3. My point is, Seattle just feels like they've earned their path more, and looked more impressive along the way. And if they play their A game, they will win. Not to say New England is a slouch. They are undeniably very good, and it isn't their fault they played an easy schedule. I just don't know how they'll handle the best team they've faced so far. They've risen to every occasion though. I don't know. I'm rambling. It's anyone's game, really.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Denver Broncos, like your Patriots, have existed since 1960. They have 16 HOF members.&lt;br /&gt;
7 of those (Willie Brown, Tony Dorsett, DeMarcus Ware, Ty Law, Brian Dawkins, John Lynch &amp; Peyton Manning) play most of their careers and earned HOF honors with other teams.&lt;br /&gt;
1 of those (Pat Bowlen) was an owner and never played.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That leaves just 8 in 65 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite having played in 6 Super Bowls at the time, the Broncos did not have their first real HOF'er until 2004 (Elway). The next one wasn't until 2008 (Gary Zimmerman). 2010 was their first and only pre-SB player (Floyd Little). Shannon Sharpe came in 2011. They have had just 4 in the past decade, despite having played in 2 more SB's. And not one head coach. Including Dan Reeves and Mike Shanahan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Patriots have even fewer in the Hall...but their period of greatness is much more recent. It's pretty easy to note that the HOF will become crowded with Patriots, and soon. Including Belichick and Kraft. There have been only 3 coaches who got in first year (Landry, Shula and Noll), and not one owner.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Patience. You'll get a LOT of HOF'ers in the next ten years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And it will NEVER be as bad as that rock and roll hall.  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Cool&quot;&gt;😎&lt;/span&gt;</description>

Repo - Pats by 10&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;What actually happened - Patriots 10, Broncos 7&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all got this one right, but it was a no-brainer. The Patriots actually won this game last week, am I right? Not so. Broncos still had their chances here. Backup QB Stidham made some plays. They had the momentum in the early going, taking a 7-0 lead. Sean Payton going for it on 4th instead of kicking for 3 to go up 10-0 stopped their momentum (turned out they'd never score again). Then the fumble late in the first half swung the momentum the other way. Nevertheless, the Broncos defense did a great job. Kept them in the game. The Broncos had one last chance to tie it late in the 4th quarter, but that blocked FG by NE sealed it. It still would have been close, but I think Denver would have won if Bo Nix was playing. They may be the AFC favorites next season.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;bbquote-container&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;CA Dreamin, Repo, and EyeKanFly wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;bbquote&quot;&gt;CA Dreamin - LA Rams 20, SEA Seahawks 31 [at one point, this was the exact score]&lt;br /&gt;
Repo - Seahawks by 7&lt;br /&gt;
EyeKanFly - Seahawks 26, Rams 24&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;What actually happened - Seahawks 31, Rams 27 (dang I was only off by a TD)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all got this one too.The Seahawks weren't so dominant this time, then again they were playing a much better opponent. Credit to the Rams for playing so hard, fighting to the finish. McVay and Stafford might be the best current coach-QB duo, and as long as they stick around, plus Nacua, their offense will light up scoreboards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for New England and Seattle, their SB matchup is both exciting and boring. Boring because casual fans want to see new teams in the SB. Both these teams won SBs in recent memory. On the other hand, casual fans also want to see new faces. The rosters and coaching staffs of these franchises are entirely different from their championship teams of last decade. So what can we say? Credit to these teams for quickly rebuilding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'll post a prediction later, but I need to head off for work and errands. Got two weeks before this game so plenty of time. Think I'll get on the next Ozzy and/or Beach Boys album in the meantime.</description>

                          I guess I missed predicting last round, I think I would've gotten most close to right except the Bears, I was expecting more out of them (and less out of the Rams).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the start of the playoffs, I would've guessed an Eagles vs Broncos super bowl. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Bo Nix out, I don't think Denver has it in them to beat the dominant Pats. I'll be rooting for the Broncos though. My prediction is Patriots 20 - Broncos 16&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Seahawks looked good against the 49ers, I think they'll look just as good against the Rams. My predictions is Seahawks 26 - Rams 24.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Interesting that 3/4 possible Super Bowl matchup is a repeat from the last 12 years (not Broncos vs Rams). If it ends up being Pats vs Rams, they'd even have the same head coaches. Can't say I'm super excited for the rest of the playoffs but I guess I'll be rooting for the Broncos and Seahawks. And Bad Bunny when he's up.</description>

&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, next round predictions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-18&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;AFC Championship Game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;NE Patriots 26&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DEN Broncos 13&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a fan of a team who won the 2017 Super Bowl with a backup QB, &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;I say there isn't much hope for Denver&lt;/span&gt;. It's not the same scenario as it was with my team. In 2017, Nick Foles came in with previous starter experience, he had 3 regular season games and a bye week before his first playoff start, plus the Eagles had a Top 5 defense and rushing offense that year, who won games for them while Foles worked into a rhythm. It took over a month before Foles was tuned up and ready for a big game against an evenly-matched opponent. This Broncos backup QB has less than a week, has never been a starter, and certainly has never played in a game like this. Yes, the Broncos have a solid defense, and a solid running game. You may have heard RB JK Dobbins is coming back from injury. But can he really save the day? The only way Denver wins is their defense has to force several turnovers, while the offense protects the ball, and hope their new QB and RB can turn some magic (a special teams TD would help too). I doubt it. The Pats very good, healthy, and well-greased.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This kinda sucks, right! Especially since last Sunday was &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Bo Nix&lt;/span&gt;'s coming out party. He went toe-to-toe with &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Josh Allen&lt;/span&gt; and WON! Life is NOT fair! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BUT, we learned last week by watching the &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Texans @ Pats&lt;/span&gt; game that the Broncos STILL have a chance for TWO reasons. First &amp; most important, even a back-up quarterback like &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Jarrett Stidham&lt;/span&gt; probably will NOT play as bad as &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;CJ Stroud&lt;/span&gt; over these past two weeks.  🤦‍♂️ That poor boy is gonna need therapy! Second, our O-Line (especially our young left side) showed that we have a hard time against a good, well coached defense, and Denver has that in spades! &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do i still think we're going to win? YES! OF COURSE I DO!!! &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Twisted Evil&quot;&gt;😈&lt;/span&gt; I just think Denver has more of a chance than I would have thought if I'd heard this news two weeks ago.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Pats by 10!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
LA Rams 20&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;SEA Seahawks 31&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both games in the regular season between these two were won by the home team, and decided by less than a field goal. But I don't think it'll be that close this time. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;I'm going off the eye test, and right now the Seahawks look significantly better.&lt;/span&gt; Since their last match-up, Seattle has been on a reign of terror, winning all their games by double digits, while LA has mostly been in tight games, and even lost to Atlanta. I think EyeKanFly is right about LA. They're a great team but they aren't the most reliable. I think it'll be close for 3 quarters, before the Seahawks put it away in the 4th.&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Totally. By &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;the eye test&lt;/span&gt;, the Seahawks look unbeatable rn. BUT, they are divisional opponents, and divisional games can get pretty wonky &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;especially &lt;/span&gt;if you have a good coach, which &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Sean McVay&lt;/span&gt; is. PLUS, they easily have the better quarterback, even though I'll be routing for &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Sam Darnold&lt;/span&gt;. Why? That's a better story! How cool will it be if &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Sam Darnold &lt;/span&gt;goes to the Superbowl one year after essentially getting fired by the &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;Vikings&lt;/span&gt;! Minnessota's got it rough rn!!! ... ( We can either laugh or cry with what's going on. I CHOOSE to laugh since it gives me more strength!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

                          This thread is about football. NFL isn't in the title, but it's been the dominant theme. I still want to quickly say congrats to Indiana for winning the college championship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alright, recap and predictions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;bbquote-container&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Repo and CA Dreamin wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;bbquote&quot;&gt;Repo - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Bills by 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
CA Dreamin - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;BUF Bills 24&lt;/span&gt; DEN Broncos 23 [at one point in the 4th, that was the exact score]&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;What actually happened: Broncos 33, Bills 30&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An exciting game that ended in tragedy for both teams. The Bills were the better team by the stats. Significantly better in total offense and time of possession. However I predicted the game would come down to which team &quot;makes a costly mistake late in the game.&quot; Well, it wasn't late in the game, but it was the end of the second quarter that proved to be that costly mistake. Broncos score a TD with 17 seconds left before halftime. Bills get the ball back and have 0 timeouts. Just take a knee and go to the locker room, right? Wrong. Sean McDermott decided to run plays. They fumble, Denver recovers and scores another 3 points before halftime. What the hell? So stupid. I was at work following updates from my phone. When I read that, I was like &quot;Oof, that's gonna come back to bite them.&quot; And sure, enough...it did. The Bills gifted the Broncos 3 points, and the final margin of the game was 3 points. Unbelievable. Every year it seems, Buffalo gets knocked out of the playoffs in a close game, that they could have (arguably should have) won, but their own mistakes are the reasons they lose. I like Sean McDermott, but at this point, I completely understand why he was fired after this game. As for the Broncos, they proved their greatness, but lost their leader, in the most tragic asinine way. QB Bo Nix breaks his ankle on the second-to-last play of the game, a casual run play, designed only to gain a few yards to get a little bit closer for a game-winning field goal in overtime. The kicker made the field goal, Broncos win. Now what? Would have been better had the kicker missed, and Bills won. At least that way, we'd have two healthy in the AFC Championship game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;bbquote-container&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Repo and CA Dreamin wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;bbquote&quot;&gt;Repo - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Seahawks by 14&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
CA Dreamin - SF 49ers 10 &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;SEA Seahawks 27&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;What actually happened: Seahawks 41, 49ers 6&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yikes. We predicted blowouts but not to this degree. There isn't much to say here. The Seahawks look like juggernauts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;bbquote-container&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Repo and CA Dreamin wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;bbquote&quot;&gt;Repo - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Pats by 10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
CA Dreamin - HOU Texans 16 &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;NE Patriots 19&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;What actually happened: Patriots 28, Texans 16&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Repo was right about CJ Stroud. Either he wasn't cut out for this game, or he just wasn't ready yet. I predicted defenses would keep this low-scoring. Turned out the defenses were so great, it wound up a little higher-scoring. The defenses forced 8 turnovers combined. Wow. This led to short fields and easy points for both teams. The differences were NE was scoring TDs while Houston was kicking fields, plus Houston turned the ball over 5 times to the Patriots' 3.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;table class=&quot;bbquote-container&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt; 	  &lt;td&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;genmed&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Repo and CA Dreamin wrote:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;	&lt;tr&gt;	  &lt;td class=&quot;bbquote&quot;&gt;Repo - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Rams by 10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
CA Dreamin - &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;LA Rams 27&lt;/span&gt; CHI Bears 23&lt;/td&gt;	&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;postbody&quot;&gt;What actually happened: Rams 20, Bears 17&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The opposite of last week for these teams. Based on the highlights I saw, they played clean and consistent for the whole game, both fighting to the end, with LA coming out a little better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ok, next round predictions:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-18&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;AFC Championship Game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;NE Patriots 26&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DEN Broncos 13&lt;br /&gt;

                          Posted: 01/15/2026 19:24&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                          The Division Round is my favorite round, only the great teams are left, and there's still a full weekend slate. I'm missing it all this year due to work Sat &amp; Sun. &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Mad&quot;&gt;😠&lt;/span&gt; (if the Eagles had won, I'd've taken a day off) Anyway:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-24&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: blue&quot;&gt;NFC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF 49ers 10&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;SEA Seahawks 27&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I said earlier the Seahawks came out of nowhere this year. Not true. I overlooked they went 10-7 last year even though they missed the playoffs. I guess they were only one more 'building' season away from greatness. And they are great this year. Top 10 in offense and defense. The only weakness I see is their mediocrity in the turnover battle. Might be an issue later, but I think they'll handle the 49ers convincingly. SF couldn't get anything going on offense against the Seahawks Week 18 when they had George Kittle. And now they don't. This is the only game of the weekend I'm pretty confident who will win.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;LA Rams 27&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
CHI Bears 23&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a difficult game to predict, as both teams were uneven in their wins last week. The Rams were much better than the Panthers, but as EKF correctly pointed out, they were inconsistent. A handful of small mistakes added up and kept the game close, requiring a last-minute win for the Rams. &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;That won't work against better teams.&lt;/span&gt; On the other hand, the Bears were totally beaten in the first half last week, came alive in the 4th quarter, stormed back to take a lead...and still only won because the Packers' kicker stunk. &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;That won't work against better teams.&lt;/span&gt; Pound-for-pound, I think the Rams are a little better, so I'll go with them, but this can go either way. The team who plays cleaner will win this one.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-24&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red&quot;&gt;AFC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;BUF Bills 24&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
DEN Broncos 23&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This one should be fun and highly competitive. Both teams rank Top 10 in offense and defense. I really don't know who will win. Buffalo is more experienced in the playoffs, but they are notorious for choking in the later rounds. Denver doesn't have the experience of a game like this, so who knows how they will fare? I think it'll come down to nerves, and which team makes a costly mistake late in the game.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
HOU Texans 16&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;NE Patriots 19&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This has the makings of a low-scoring game. Two great defenses, who only allowed 3 points against their wild card round opponents (one PIT FG was a chip-shot set up by a turnover). If this was played in Houston and the Texans had Nico Collins healthy this week, I'd go with the Texans. Furthermore, New England has just looked sharp all season, while Houston has had a couple off-weeks. That doesn't mean the Texans can't win this. If they bring their A game and play defense like they did last week, they can pull this off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Okay, EKF is up to bat. Or whoever else wants to chime in.</description>

                          Posted: 01/15/2026 12:20&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
                          &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-24&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;My Picks (&amp; thoughts) for the Divisional Round&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-18&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;AFC &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkblue&quot;&gt;Bills @ Broncos &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Betting on Josh for this one. And why wouldn't I. He's proved it again &amp; again. Most recently just like week against the superior Jaguars. And I think the Jaguars are a more balanced team than the Broncos. We are going to learn A LOT about Bo Nix in this one. He does not feel like a Super Bowl winning quarterback just yet but he has flashes. Josh does. A lot of this is going to hinge on the Bills getting their run game going a bit better than last week. I think they will. Their O-Line seems quite inspired rn. And James Cook has been awesome this year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Bills by 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; with Josh being Josh in the 4th quarter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: darkblue&quot;&gt;Texans @ Pats &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Again, I'm sooooo biased on this one. &quot;We&quot; just seem more balanced than the Texans. And I just don't trust CJ Stroud to win his team to a game after last week's game against Pittsburgh. And in the playoffs and today's NFL, your quarterback need to win you games. Plus, Drake Maye is so NOT Aaron Rodgers. In more ways than just age. Alhamdulillah! ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Pats by 10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;forum-bbcode-font-size-18&quot; style=&quot;line-height: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;NFC &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: olive&quot;&gt;49ers @ Seahawks&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
49ers just do NOT have the firepower against the Seahawks. This was proven true just a couple of week ago. And now they're down a Kittle. Tight Ends are so important. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Plus, how can you not route for Sam Darnold at this point. It's a fricken' Hollywood script. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Seahawks by 14&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: orange&quot;&gt;Rams @ Bears&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'd LOVE to see the Bears magical &amp; miraculous run continue, but the Rams underperformed last week and (as usual) the Bears overperformed in the 4th quarter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beating the Packers in the Playoffs last week was the Bears Superbowl. The City of Chicago needed that. It's been a shit year for Chicago. We (The city, not the team) needed a great story, and we got it. But how many time can you roll a 20 on a d20?!?! More importantly, Chicago finally scored on a quarterback and a coach. They'll be back even better next year. (Did I just call Chicago my city?! Yuck! I've been here tooo long. Somebody rescue me already!  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Laughing&quot;&gt;🤣&lt;/span&gt; ) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline&quot;&gt;Rams by 10&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Already, CA Dreamin' (and anyone else! EKF? AfterHours?). I did the hard part this time. It's your turn!  &lt;span class=&quot;emoji&quot; title=&quot;Twisted Evil&quot;&gt;😈&lt;/span&gt;</description>
