Yeah that Texans team was obviously tanking, and he played them out of the #1 pick, but he still had the team playing far better than they should have. Lions are definitely going to make the NFC North interesting these coming years. Much like the AFC East, With the Packers on the down turn (like the Patriots) that division could become a lot more competitive soon. Lions & Bears have everything the need to become a real threat, provided they play their cards right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorWhom Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I want to see Buffalo in the Super Bowl, but after that BS "compromise" that only benefitted KC, they'll probably end up in the Super Bowl again. I'll just say it here as far as that situation. KC lost to Buffalo & Cincinnati Buffalo should have been the #1 seed with Home Field (Better division record than Bengals) Bengals should have #2 And KC #3 It still pisses me of that Buffalo & to a lesser extinct Cincy, got screwed out of home field because of such a horrible thing.

Rockstar Matt Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Just like I pointed out last year, point differential can be a useful tool to determine the quality of a team, but it has its limitations. Last year, I predicted that one of these 6 teams would win the Super Bowl: Buffalo, New England, Kansas City, Dallas, Tampa Bay and the Los Angeles Rams (and of course, saying that 6 of the 14 teams remaining will win the Super Bowl isn't all that impressive at all; it's literally almost half the playoff teams). Of the top 3 in each conference in PD last season, only the Chiefs and Rams made it to Championship Weekend with the Rams being the eventual champion, thus continuing the streak. This year we've had one of the craziest point differential vs. record differences we've ever seen. Of course this is referring to this year's Minnesota Vikings who are the first 13+ win team to ever finish the year with a negative point differential. Tampa Bay somehow finished last in their division in PD, but still won the division. The NFC as a whole is rather top heavy in PD. Only 4 of the playoff teams in the conference finished with a positive PD and the Seahawks are 4th with +6. The 49ers, Eagles and Cowboys all had a positive PD in the 100's. The AFC only had 2 teams who crossed the triple digit threshold in positive PD, but 6 of their playoff teams had a positive PD with Miami being the lone playoff team with a negative PD. Led by the Bills, Chiefs and Bengals. Interestingly, in both conferences, the 1 seeds finished 2nd in conference PD and the 2 seeds finished 1st in conference PD. So it's not exactly going out on a limb by saying that if an AFC team wins the Super Bowl, it'll be either Buffalo, Kansas City or Cincinnati and if a NFC team wins the Super Bowl it'll be San Francisco, Philadelphia or Dallas. What a prediction, saying that one of the 6 best teams in the league will end up lifting the Lombardi. Here's my playoff predictions (more for me to come back and see how wrong I was): Wild-Card Weekend San Francisco 34, Seattle 20 New York 24, Minnesota 23 Dallas 23, Tampa Bay 20 Buffalo 35, Miami 13 Cincinnati 27, Baltimore 23 Los Angeles 30, Jacksonville 27 Divisional Round Philadelphia 26, New York 23 San Francisco 23, Dallas 20 Buffalo 27, Cincinnati 21 Kansas City 31, Los Angeles 27 Conference Championships San Francisco 30, Philadelphia 13 Buffalo 41, Kansas City 37 Super Bowl LVII Buffalo 27, San Francisco 20 3 Quote Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in essence you would have awarded both BUF and CIN a win for a game they didn't play, and then also seed the Bengals above the Chiefs despite KC finishing with more wins than Cincinnati could have even if they had beaten Buffalo?

OnWis97 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'm kinda surprised to see so many people happy about the Packers. I always think of them as the second-favorite team of all non-NFC North fanbases. Is Aaron finally wearing people down? 1 Quote Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

I’m not saying Kosar isn’t an idiot, but at the same time, for a league that embraces betting and gambling, they sure do cause a fuss when it involves their own people being the ones who bet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think if he had done this with the Cavaliers instead, no one bats an eye. It was pretty dumb of him to do, but I think the idea he has enough insider info to get a winning result, which he didn't use apparently, is just silly. At any rate, it's probably written somewhere in his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have some voodoo thing going on. After losing to the Bengals to go 3-7 they needed all of the Browns, Jets, Dolphins, Titans, and Patriots to fall apart while winning every game themselves and it basically came down to a field goal in the last Dolphins game. Things outside of their control seem to go right so often for them. It's truly maddening. Thankfully the Bengals have managed to beat them and semi-often take division titles away from them. The Browns, though, haven't finished ahead of the Steelers in the standings since 1989. That would be my Joker origin story if I was a Browns fan. 1 hour ago, OnWis97 said: I'm kinda surprised to see so many people happy about the Packers.

With that said, it appears any and all sports gambling is prohibited. Regardless of sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re probably hated on more than the Cowboys. They’re basically the NFL’s version of the St. Louis Cardinals. Even moreso than the Steelers imo. 3 Quote On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

What they did would've actually been pretty close to fair if they also added in that a Bengals-Bills playoff game would be neutral site or coin flip as well. The Bills had an extra home game over Cincinnati and were losing to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
