Yes, but if they beat 44-year-old Tom Brady, someone will come back and insist that's proof he can't possibly be considered the greatest of all time.

I dont think that is up for interpretation any longer, only for the blind..... that said, which Rams team shows up? I think they can win, TB has lost most of his receivers, the Rams have a great D-Line, TB QB will have to play as smart as ever to take away the Ram strengths. LA also got back an RB giving them two good run options. Vegas line this AM is -3 for TB, essentially giving them a homefield advantage 3 points, basically a coin flip otherwise. Playoffs look excellent this year.... I really like the three younger teams on the rise, Cincy, Tenn, Buffalo. Then you have the HOF Masters in AR & TB..... F-SF !! |

I think SF has a legit shot at winning NFC. Their D is playing at a very high level. If Jimmy G can keep from the catastrophic mistakes, their O is balanced enough to put up points on anyone.
I don't see the Rams taking down TB if 4-net is healthy enough to give Bucs a solid run game.
I think Buf wins AFC and the bowl. Q is playing at a high level and D is stout.

Things can change every weekend, but right now I'd pick Kansas City to beat Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl.

Ive had GB vs TB all season..... and yes things can change every weekend. Usually when I change something I kick myself later..... I don't think AR loses before the chilly cheeseheads and I can't root for anything SF..... If I changed my picks it would be because of what I saw this week.... id have LA vs Buffalo in SB. Like I stated, I think this is one of the most even finals 8 teams in recent time. I could see TB, LA, KC, GB making the best case or argument, would not be shocked to see Josh Allen take Buffalo all the way either. The Titans were my SB long shot, then Henry went down and I thought no way without him. Ill wait till the Cincy Nashville game and the Titans at full strength could go all the way. I still find the hardest case to be made is on SF making it, could they face LA again? If so I'd bet they won't beat a good team twice.
Then this happens, at this point, these big games, it kinda then starts to sway back towards these guys.... BRADY, ROGERS & then MAHOMES. Will a young buck QB change that narrative?

Ive had GB vs TB all season... How could that ever happen, since they are in the same conference? |

......the Rams have a great D-Line......... I'd qualify that to say they have a great pass-rushing D-line when they have both Von Miller and Leonard Floyd in with Aaron Donald. It's turned out to be only a little better than average run stopping D-line after seeing both their O and D-lines get their asses handed to them twice against the 49ers. Their best chances of winning are if the offense gets off to a strong start and forces the opponent to play catch up with the passing game. They aren't going to win many physical games against a playoff caliber team. I gave up on them when the 49ers came from behind to beat them - again - last month................Luca |

SF defense / ST was as advertised, but their O was not. I think Lance gives them the best opportunity to beat TB after they beat the Rams today, but unless Jimmy G somehow got injured yesterday, it'll be a tall order for SF to get to the bowl.
Poor QB play sunk TEN yesterday. Don't see CIN getting past BUF next week.

Not sure I've ever seen a worse special teams unit.

Looks like Bick has two sure bets today....!!
I was a bit miffed at what happened in GB yesterday. Talk about a long shot, a Grappalo (injured at that) led team went into GB after a wild card game on the road in sub freezing weather, snow, sleet and beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
I stated I thought this was the most balanced top 8 teams in a long time to be still playing. The games today are just that. Both road dogs have a better than 50/50 chance to win. Bills already beat KC in KC this year and the Bucs injury report and depleted offense I think won't keep pace with the Rams.

Missed both today, but wow, Buf / KC might have been the best game I've seen.
In fact, this weekend was probably the most competitive in NFL playoff history.

Kansas City kicks the tying field goal with 3 seconds left, then wins in overtime.
The Rams kick the winning field goal with 4 seconds left.
Cincinnati kicks the winning field goal with 4 seconds left.
San Francico kicks the winning field goal with 4 seconds left.
I'm not saying this weekend's games were rigged, but these NFL playoff games looked a lot like pro wrestling.

Thats a far stretch WWE? If anything I would compare the Q4 of Buffalo @ KC to HAGLER HEARNS R1, that was the real deal....
