NFL Standings

The rooting interests have condensed greatly! While I am sure there are more draft implications, I only did a few highlights.

The Bills will know by the time they play on Monday if they have a chance to clinch the #2 seed in the AFC. There are other implications based on who they would want to play.

Do they want Miami to win rather than see Baltimore as the #7 seed?
I can honestly say I do not want the Bills to play Baltimore in the playoffs.
Cleveland to win over the Jets? Yes, the Jets surely lose Trevor Lawrence if they win, but Pittsburgh could fall as low as #7 and that means Cleveland needs to win the division.
 

Rooting for:
 

● Indianapolis @ Pittsburgh - Indy
● Tennessee @ Green Bay - Green Bay

● NY Giants @ Baltimore - Giants
● Miami @ Las Vegas - oh boy!
● Atlanta @ Kansas City - Atlanta (just because)
● Cleveland @ NY Jets - Cleveland
● Cincinnati @ Houston - Houston (Miami draft pick situation)
●  Chicago @ Jacksonville - Chicago (Trevor Lawrence sweepstakes)

Who are you rooting for?

I’m not particularly worried about either potential opponent between Miami and Baltimore, but I think I feel a little more squirrelly about Miami just because of the playing them twice in a row aspect. If you don’t want to face Baltimore in the playoffs, why do you want them to beat the Giants? They‘ll likely miss if they don’t win out.

I goofed when I wrote Baltimore. I meant Giants. But, who knows how this all shakes out in 2 weeks?

For sure, but I that requires both Miami and Baltimore going 0-2.

I'm not sure if I can watch this Tampa Bay v Detroit game.  They are already slobbering over Marsha. He's playing against a team with no coaches on the defense... shocker that he'll be able to score.

Can we relegate Detroit and promote Alabama?

I feel bad for them - basically no coaches, and it doesn't look like it Tampa is going to stop scoring. Marsha is out, but the scoring has not ended for Tampa.

The Marsha slobbering is a bit ridiculous. Once Stafford went down, the Lions were basically a high school team.

 

That said, Lions players are still playing hard, which is good to see.

To watch the game on Amazon prime was simple... my TV had an ad on it next to the amazon prime app, "to watch the 49ers vs Cardinals on Amazon Prime, click here." 😛

This pre-game show is... ermmmm
