WILD CARD WEEKEND
The post season is here. Did
your team make it? If you’re a Bills fan you can finally say, YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
I’m just happy that the Giants actually won their last game of the season; at
least we ended on a high note and sealed the 2nd pick in the 2018
draft. It was weird just watching
football without any fantasy implications last week, but nice. I went 10-6
on my picks. This weekend there are two
games on Saturday and two games on Sunday.
Let’s recap week seventeen
Redskins @ Giants 10-18
The Giants WON!
It’s a New Years miracle!!!! It felt like we were watching a preseason game
because I had no idea who most of the people on the field were. But, they
played well; really well for the season they had and all the injuries they
endured. It was also nice to beat a division rival for the first time this
season… 3-13, and the second pick of the draft… GO GMEN!
Packers @ Lions
11-35
Maybe if the Lions
had played this way last week they would have had a chance at the playoffs and
keeping head coach Jim Cadwell who was fired the day after this game for
failing to get the Lions to the playoffs. At least they finished the season
strong, that’s more than the Packers can say.
Texans @ Colts 13-22
Even
though the Colts won their last game head coach Chuck Pagano was fired
immediately after the game, finishing the season at 4-12.
Bears @ Vikings 10-23
The Vikings
clinched a first round bye with this win over the Bears.
Jets @ Patriots 6-26
The
Pats clinched home field advantage with this win over the boring Jets.
Cowboys @ Eagles 6-0
Shame
on the Eagles for letting the Cowboys beat them. Did the Eagles just sit their
entire team?
Browns @ Steelers 24-28
The Browns
join the 2008 Lions as the only teams in NFL history to go winless in an entire
season. What makes it worse is the Browns were playing the Steelers “B” team.
Chiefs @ Broncos 27-24
The
Chiefs are in the playoffs and the Broncos just go home. It’s hard to believe
that Denver made it to the Super Bowl just a couple of years ago finishing this
season 5-11.
Jaguars @ Titans 10-15
The
Jags have just run out of steam as of late. They’ve dropped their last 2 games
and could have knocked the Titans out of playoff hopes.
49ers @ Rams (11-4) 34-13
It’s looking like Garoppolo is the real deal and the 49ers will be
a good team next season. The 49ers finished the season strong even though they
were playing the Rams “B” team.
Raiders @ Chargers 10-30
Jack Del Rio lost his job to Jon Gruden after the Raiders loss to
the Chargers. Even though the Chargers won this game they did not make it into
the playoffs.
Cardinals @ Seahawks 26-24
Even though the Seahawks won their game they needed Atlanta to
lose to make it into the playoffs. Atlanta won knocking out Seattle from the
post season. In other news Carson Palmer
retired after this win.
Panthers @ Falcons 10-22
The Panthers played like the Panthers and blew another opportunity
to kick the Falcons out of the playoffs. I can’t say that this surprises me…
Bills @ Dolphins 22-16
The Bills snapped a 17 season streak by
actually making it to the playoffs with the help of the Bengals. Not only did
the Bills need to win this game to make it into the playoffs they needed help
from Cincinnati. The Bengals had nothing to play for other than knocking the
Ravens out of any hopes of making the playoffs. After the Bills won this game,
they watched the end of the Bengals game in the locker room. When Andy Dalton
threw a touch down pass on 4th and 12 in the final minute of the
game, the Bills locker room erupted in celebration. Bills fans, to say thank
you to the Bengals, are making $17 donations to Andy Dalton’s Charity and have
already raised over $300K! Bills fans are great.
Saints @ Buccaneers 24-31
The Saints clinched the NFC South even
though they lost because the Panthers lost too. The Saints are lucky.
Bengals @ Ravens 31-27
The
Ravens didn’t have a chance at making the playoffs as they lost to the Bengals
with an Andy Dalton touchdown late in the 4th.
WILD CARD WEEKEND
Saturday, January 6th
Titans (9-7) @ Chiefs (10-6) [4:20pm ESPN]
I’m picking the
Chiefs for the win. There are injuries on both sides but the most notable is
Titans RB DeMarco Murray.
Falcons (10-6) @
Rams (11-5) [8:15pm NBC]
I’m picking the
Rams to win this game. The Rams have the youngest team and the youngest coach
in the NFL. Head Coach Sean McVay is just 31.
Also, the Rams have Todd Gurley, so I’ve gotta go with the Rams for the
win.
Sunday, January 7th
Bills (9-7) @ Jaguars (10-6) [1:05pm CBS]
As you
know this is the Bills first post-season appearance in 17 years. Jacksonville
was arguably one of the worst teams in the NFL for multiple seasons coming into
this current season. Both teams, on paper, shouldn’t have even made it to the
post season. So who will win this game?
I’m picking the Jags even though everyone around me seems to BILLieve
otherwise.
Panthers (11-5) @ Saints (11-5) [4:40pm FOX]
With no allegiance to the Panthers I am picking the Saints to win
this game.
PS
I’ve picked all the home teams to win
this weekend. Also, I will wait till next week to write about the Patriots news
ridiculousness. And, because the Giants won last week I will keep the smile on
my face till next season.
GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Eric!!!!!
