Maybe if Hurts returns to normal, but we haven’t seen that yet.
-
Boy that's a rough 4th quarter for Andrews with the fumble and the dropped 2-point.
-
That one out of bounds 100% would have been a flag on Mahomes.
-
Well that was a fun game. Hope Bills-Ravens lives up to the billing.
-
Upsets happen but I'd be really surprised if the AFC doesn't win the Super Bowl this year.
-
That would be my instinct but Hurts hasn't been good since coming back from the concussion. I know the weather is bad today but he looked bad last week too.

In 2019 Spurs fired Poch after 12 games with the team in 14th despite him leading them to the UCL final 5 months prior, coming off league finishes of 3rd, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, all while not doing anything in the transfer market for 3 straight windows. And yet Ange gets to keep hiding behind the "oh we've got injuries" excuse. Dude needs to go. He had a good 10 games to start last season and they've sucked since then. 5 points in 9 games. Only 8 points off the relegation zone and they're closer to 18th than they are to 10th.

I do enjoy that immediately after Snyder sells the team, Washington wins more games in a season than they did in any season that Snyder owned the team and have won as many playoff games this year as they did total in the entire time he owned the team.
-
This ad makes fun of my team and yet 10/10. No notes.
-
Good for Minnesota that Darnold had these couple games before they paid him a bunch of money.
-
I feel bad for Everton. PL is really going to hit them hard for all of Man City’s charges.
-
I was just looking at the final AP poll, which probably wasn’t the best thing to use. KenPom they have 4 of the top 8 this year, last year was 4 and 5 and then Alabama at 14. Looking through the year, the SEC has never had more than 2 teams in the top 10 of the final KenPom rankings, though even that is arbitrary because in 2019 Auburn was 11 and in 2022 they were 12.
-
For those that pay attention closer, is this year just a fluke year with the SEC being really good and the ACC being down and the Big 10 not being that great? Looking at the rankings and the SEC has 5 of the top 8 plus 11 and 15. Meanwhile the only ACC team in the top 25 is Duke and the highest ranked Big 10 team is MSU at 12. Normally there’s like 1 or 2 good SEC teams and that’s it.
-
My first instinct was a kind of want to bet the over. 51-111 is still an awful team and that gets the over. At the same time, that’s still a 10 game improvement which is a lot for a team that hasn’t done anything except trade away their best SP.
-
Buffalo better win tomorrow because we deserve to get Allen vs Jackson next weekend.
-
The counter to that is the last six years their QB's have been Russell Wilson and Justin Fields Kenny Pickett Kenny Pickett Big Ben at 39 Big Ben at 38 Mason Rudolph (Big Ben got hurt) And because they don't tank, it makes it harder to get a top QB.
-
Glad these two games have been close. Hopefully the title game is too.
-
It just didn’t seem worth the risk. ND still had all three timeouts so there’s a scenario where they pin you back at the 5, you run three times and punt the ball right back to them and ND gets it back at midfield. If your offense had moved the ball all game then sure, go for it. But with how they’d struggled to throw the ball all game, I don’t think the potential reward was worth the risk. Obviously you don’t bank on Allar throwing a pick there but that’s not the only thing that can go wrong.
-
So your QB is 11-20 for 139 yards (before the interception) and rather than just go to OT, you choose to run the hurry up offense starting at your own 20 with less than a minute left? I mean I get you have 2 timeouts but in that scenario I think you're better off just going to OT.
-
Derwood talking about the Reid coaching tree as if it’s the Belichick coaching tree. Now that’s a disaster. I believe Bill O’Brien is the only one with a winning record as a head coach and he was only 52-48.
-
The Chiefs will win the title while winning all three games by a combined 10 points or less with an inexplicable big play going their way late in the 4th quarter of each game.

The Jets...

Well you said "doors blown off in the first half" and the second Notre Dame touchdown you refer to was in the second half. I'd add that is largely irrelevant anyway because it was a kickoff return touchdown which, like I said about the Texas one, is fluky. That's not one team outplaying another or coming out flat or being rusty. It's a fluky play. Georgia-Notre Dame was 6-3 with 30 seconds left and if Kirby Smart just kneels on the ball like he probably should have, that's the halftime score. So it's way more disingenuous to say Notre Dame blew the doors off Georgia in the first half. That's just flat out wrong. As for Boise, again, were they flat or were they just not that good? They're 31st in Sagarin and 27th in Massey. Yes that comes after getting hammered by Penn State, but I doubt that one loss caused them to drop that much. I mean, if you just want to look at the line score which shows halftime leads of 26, 14, 10 and 10 and use that to form your opinions while ignoring how the first half of the latter three games actually played out, well you do you.

1. Oregon 2. Georgia 3. Texas 4. Penn St 5. Notre Dame vs. 12. Clemson 6. Ohio St vs. 11. Arizona St 7. Tennessee vs. 10. SMU 8. Indiana vs. 9. Boise St. Only Ohio St is a favorite over Texas in all likelihood in the QF, which is better spread-wise than what we got. Oregon is a big favorite over Indiana/Boise, Georgia is favored, especially since we saw them beat Tennessee already this year. ND is -1.5 over Penn State for their upcoming game but that's a neutral site so PSU is probably favored in Happy Valley.

I don’t agree at all that rust caused the four teams with byes to lose in the QF. Also, only 1 team for their doors blown off in the first half (Oregon). Boise was down 10. They weee 11.5 point underdogs so you’d expect them to be down 6 at half. So is them being down 10 due to rust or were they just playing a better team? Arizona St was down 17-3. They were 13.5 point underdogs so you’d expect them to be down 7. They also were only down 14 due to a punt return TD (fluky) and outgained Texas in the first half. Georgia was down 13-3 solely due to Kirby Smart having his backup QB drop back from his own 25 with 33 seconds left and the result being a strip sack which led to a TD. So that was essentially a 6-3 halftime score. I don’t know what happened to Oregon. Could it have been rust? Sure I suppose. But to say all the home teams got their doors blown off in the first half due to rust is just wrong and you’re likely overreacting to one years worth of results. Going back to the 2009 season (so the 2010 playoffs) NFL teams with a bye are 39-13. If it were that much of a disadvantage to have a bye, wouldn’t we have seen a trend in the NFL by now? Keep it at 12, give the top 4 teams a bye regardless of whether or not they won their conference title, guarantee the top-5 conference champs a spot and let this play out for a couple years.
