Well , really there was for Minnesota, no way they would have held seattle to 10 points in 44 degrees ( Temp. in seattle that day). I figured they would win too.Hit that FG from the 9 at the end and they would have. Vegas probably made alot of money on that game. For the Redskins , no advantage , no way they are good enough to beat Rogers.For the Bengals , no advantage because Steelers had the QB ( Ben) and the Bengals QB was out hurt. Kansas City was an easy call , I would have taken them regardless of the spread

Clemson gives up 24 points in the Fourth Quarter , loses by 5, Henry avg.'s 4.4 yards per carry .Derrick Henry just upped his draft stock tonight, he could wait until next year though.

They weren't used to playing full throttle for a full game. Those guys on Clemson defense had their tongues hanging out by the 4th quarter.
Also, were they playing in the Superdome? I know they have rubber pellets in the turf to simulate dirt, but some of them looked like they had grass stains on their uniforms.

No, it wasn't here in NOLA...it was in Arizona. NOLA gets the National Championship in 2018.

Chip Kelly is now coaching the 49ers. Whisenhunt, fired by the Titans mid-season is now back with the Chargers as OC.
The Titans hired a new GM this week, Jon Robinson; he was with the Bucs, and before that, did scouting with the Patriots where they drafted Edelman, Gronkowski, McCourty, Solder and Chandler Jones. There are rumors that he was hired because he was on board with keeping their interim HC Mike Mularkey, who did OK with what he had to work with, but still could have won more games with him than they did.
On their short list for Head Coach:
Mike Mularkey (interviewed already)
Doug Marrone (interviewed already)
Josh McDaniels (need permission from the Pats right now, or wait until their season is done)
Jim Schwartz (has some history with the team)
I think Marrone and McDaniels would be better than Mularkey. They are all former HC's who had been demoted and are looking for another shot. The situation in TN is better than most teams- #1 pick, solid defense with Dick LeBeau and Ray Horton that just needs to add some depth, a franchise QB going into his 2nd year.
mock drafts have Joey Bosa going #1, but Derrick Henry just said he's entering the draft.

Well. New England is being allowed to rough the passer all they want, all the pass interference they want, and only seem to be getting called for spearing if the proximity of the goal line limits this fifteen yard penalty to two and a half yards.
I think my Chiefs could beat New England--eleven guys at a time. But if those stripedy shirts are actually Patriots uniforms in disguise, I got a bad feeling about this.

Apparently a rematch of Super Bowl I just isn't in the 'reality show' script.
Or the bookies in Vegas would have made less money that way. Or both.
Too bad. Those two coming up out of wild card hell would have been a better tale than whatever storybook shit they apparently have in mind.
Apparently the script calls for the Steelers to go to Massachusetts, because Denver is getting robbed of a fumble recovery here and fourteen yards of field position there. Did anyone else notice that last pass interference call got Pittsburgh just close enough to the uprights to beat the point spread?
The problem with my Chiefs is their fans are entirely too willing to put their money where their mouths are. If you want to see a team in the NFL win, bet your hard-earned money against them--and convince everyone you know to do the same.

I am impressed that Big Ben was able to throw for over 300 yards against the #1 defense in the NFL with torn ligaments in his shoulder. Wasn't enough though. As a Denver fan, happy to be playing for AFC title at home but New England looks a lot healthier than last time we played and they know how to mess with Manning (Manning was out when Denver beat the Pats earlier this year also in Denver). Home field seemed to help against the Steelers who seemed tired on defense during that fourth quarter touchdown drive following the fumble recovery. Steelers were moving the ball very well and probably heading for a score on that drive.
First round- all visiting teams won. Second round- all the home teams won. Now we have #1 seed vs $2 seed in both conferences. Panthers look the most impressive of any remaining teams.
