    Just seeing how I'll do.

    Chargers @ Texans = Chargers

    Steelers @ Ravens = Ravens

    Broncos @ Bills = Bills

    Packers @ Birds = Birds

    Skins @ Bucs = Bucs

    Vikings @ Rams = Rams

    6 games. Hope I picked 4 wrong. It's who I think will win not who I want to win.

    IMO Bills/Lions would make for a great SB. I'm an AFC guy but not sure who I'd pull for. If Lions make it they will have most of the support from casual NFL fans.

    The only one of yours I'd pick different is Vikings over Rams.

    And I'm right there with you. Go Pack Go! (My wallet disagrees. I'm betting on the Eagles to win by double digits)

    Go Bills! Go Rams! Both seem to be getting a little disrespected by the early odds. Bills home dogs (only by 1 point) and Rams 6 point dogs, which I think is too many points.

    I'm definitely taking the Rams at that number. Stafford is streaky, and right now he's on fire. Don't think cold weather will really hurt him either. He played pretty well in the NFC north, which I realize is mostly indoors now, but there's still Green Bay and Chicago weather.

    I did pretty poorly in first round (only 50%), but I'll go:

    Bills over Ravens
    Chiefs over Texans

    Eagles over Rams
    Lions over Commanders

    The bettors in my family are jumping on the Rams bandwagon. They same as you said, Stafford is on.

    I'm thinking only game that could be one-sided is Lions/Skins. Just a hunch and a hope but Texans will give the Chiefs hell and the other 2 games should be down to the wire.

    I feel like the Texans vs Chiefs won't look too bad for final score, but will be mostly dominated by the Chiefs with little doubt who is going to win.

    The Ravens are favored by 1.5 at Buffalo. I really think the Ravens are the best team in the NFL and will win it all.

    I'm leaning that way and I hope it is not them vs Lions in the SB.

    The Chiefs should be fine. They have been here before, this is nothing new to them. AND, they have been resting for 2 weeks. Class is in.

    Chiefs squeak by.
    Lions outlast Commanders

    Rams win if they want to.
    Ravens get snowballed in Buffalo.

    I think the Ravens will run the Bills out of their own stadium. Ravens by 20 possible.


    I'll take the Eagles to pull away late. Double digit win but better game than the score looks.

    Doubt I'll watch much of Lions/Skins.

    Ok. So 3 weeks of rest then. A rested Chiefs team that has won the last 2 SB. This moment should not be too big for them. Obviously we have to play the game and see what happens on the field. Just saying I don't think the Chiefs are 1 and done this year.


    Weirdly, I'm kinda hoping they do 3-peat. Just because it's never been done. I actually think the Ravens are gonna win it all this year.

    a lot of NFL fans I know are leaning Ravens. I understand the hate for the Ravens. I'm probably only Steeler fan that does not despise them. TBH I'm pulling for them. I just hope it's not against the Lions in the SB. Hard for any NFL fan to root against them if they make it.

    The Steelers, if not for injuries would have had 3 straight SB's. I don't want the Chiefs to get it.

    I don't despise the Ravens. They are our biggest rival currently, but I feel like there is a mutual respect there. I think though that right now they have aQB, we do not. So, where we have dominated the rivalry for a while, it's their turn.
