Some of you shared interest in making a full bracket, so here ya go. Get all four rounds in before kickoff this Saturday if you want to be "official". Or you can just pick the championship rounds and the Super Bowl...whatever works for you. If you just want to pick round by round, go with the other weekly pick-em thread by plc001 for that.
AFC Championship: Bills at the Chiefs NFL Championship: Bucs at the Packers Superbowl: Bucs vs Chiefs 2.0
Round 1 Chiefs over Steelers Bills over Pats Bengals over Raiders Rams over Cardinals 49ers over Cowboys Bucs over Eagles Round 2 Titans over Chiefs Bills over Bengals Packers over Bucs 49ers over Rams Round 3 Titans over Bills Packers over 49ers Round 4 Packers over Titans I think a fresh Henry is going to finally make it Tennessee's year, and I think Rodgers is on a mission this season. I know it's lame taking both #1 seeds but it wasn't intentional, I really think that's how it shakes out. My dark horse team- the 49ers!
Wildcard Round Bengals Bills Chiefs Rams 49ers Buccaneers Divisional Round Chiefs Titans Rams Packers Conference Championships Titans Packers Super Bowl Titans This is basically what I picked in the preseason starting with the winners in the Divisional Round, so I figure why not stick with it.
Pretty average picks, but they're mine. Wild Card 27 - Raiders @ Bengals - 34 23 - Patriots @ Bills - 31 17 - Steelers @ Chiefs - 42 --- 20 - Cardinals @ Rams - 28 35 - 49ers @ Cowboys - 32 13 - Eagles @ Bucs - 27 Divisional 24 - Bills @ Chiefs - 28 16 - Bengals @ Titans - 24 --- 26 - Rams @ Bucs - 38 20 - 49ers @ Packers - 31 Conference 34 - Chiefs @ Titans - 27 21 - Bucs @ Packers - 28 Super Bowl 24 - Chiefs vs Packers - 31
Ok apply my picks for round 1 from the pick EM thread Rd2: Titans over Patriots Chiefs over Bengals Packers over 49ers Bucs over Cardinals Rd 3 Titans over Chiefs Packers over Bucs Rd 4 Titans over Packers
Is it me or is NE and Miami the same team. Both have basically the same QB, good defense that can fail them, schedules that helped them get to where they are… in the end, fools gold.
The Bills want to put them in a bodybog and toss them off a bridge. I bet McDermott wants to hang 50 on them. But you are basically correct. As much as I hate seeing the Bills succeed, I like seeing the Pats getting put in their place, especially post-Brady.
A part of me hoped the Pats won since it validated our week 18 win even more. But then a much bigger part of me thought, "F the Pats, I always want them to lose!" So it's a pretty easy call, Go Bills Go! Then next week, I'm rooting hard for whoever's playing the Bills, LOL.
Hell no. I wanted to mess with them last week so that it would stick with them and they'd get their butts kicked this week. Of course, at the time I was hoping that they'd lose to the Bengals, but the way the games ended up with the Steelers squeaking in messed that up. I hate watching the Bills win, but I do love watching the Patriots lose. The saddest part was listening to CBS still heap praise upon Jones when they were trailing by three TDs, saying it wasn't his fault and how awesome he is. Puke.
Well, my brackets busted already so all in on the Bengals. That was both my Uncles team, Steve passed a while ago and Paul last year from FN COVID. They took me to my first live football games, Cinci vs Cleveland, took me to see the great Cinci Reds teams and to Canton. Steve was a Farmer, Paul a Chemist working on a cure for cancer. Got my love of the Earth from Steve and the absolute certainty that I didn't want anything to do with the field of Medicine from going to work with Paul. Bet they are high fiving and drunk as eff somewhere right now. I sure hope so anyway Go Bengals!
