It makes no sense to knock schedules, whether it’s the 2025 Pats, 1999 Rams or anyone else. You can only play whoever is on your schedule. Moreover, there are no style points given in football.

Agreed 100%...I'm not knocking their schedule...I'm saying the same thing you are...

Wow.

The Rams own these cold weather games. It can't get cold enough for them. LOL. There will be no joy in the igloos tonight.

I am not going to disparage any other teams to make myself feel better because “my team” lost.

The four remaining teams deserve to be in the conference championships.

I wish George and Doug the best going forward.

Thanks Jason, I literally cannot believe the Patriots are in the AFCCG, it's bizarro world level crazy to think it, but it's true.

Wow.

Couple of observations, the Pats will benefit from Nix being out for the Broncos, however, you still have to travel and play the game. Also, can't have that many turnovers (3)/missed opportunities and normally win (The Texans were worse at 5 turnovers!). Back up or not, you have to play the game, but I am picking the Patriots.

Onto the NFC, the Rams won it, huge interceptions when it mattered, kind of bend but do not break defense. How they didn't defend the literal hail mary at the end of regulation is beyond me, there is no way that should have been a completion in the least. That said, playing in Seattle is going to be a high road to climb, Rams need their full A game on offense. If they can get scoring, I like their chances. I am pulling for the Rams, as not a Seattle fan, that said Seattle could prove too much the way they are playing. I am picking the Rams.

Predictions for what they are worth:

A. Broncos - the Bills are very banged up, think it will be tough to win out in Denver, it has been done for sure, but smart money this year is on Denver
B. Patriots - I think this could be a toss up on paper, but...... New England at night which has been the graveyard of many AFC foes, just ask Big Ben, also CJ didn't look comfortable at all vs Steelers, looked very out of character and it didn't improve a whole lot, he has to do a 180. And may have some key scratches on Texans side.
C. Seahawks - I want the 49ers to win, just not sure they can do it in Seattle and without Kittle et al. Seems a tall order.
D. Rams - this is more of an emotional pick as I am not a Bears fan (I think the Coach should take a lesson in class from Tomlin, Harbaugh and others). My fear is the cold on the Rams and the odd way when the Bears are not put away early, they hang, hang and somehow win.

I have to admit, the playoffs have been way more entertaining then the entire season, maybe it is always that way but I just thought the regular weekly product was awful.

Well, hate to gloat , I went 4 for 4! (Not that it was that difficult in the end)

The Seattle game is nightmare for a 49er fan, trying to choose from rivals.

As I’ve said, NE is going to the SB.

The Rams won last night despite Stafford having a mediocre game and McVay calling one his worst games as a coach. He basically put the entire game on Stafford and his D instead of running the ball against one of the worst rush defenses in the league in poor weather. The Rams are very lucky to get out of there with a win. They can play with Seattle. They beat them once and should have beat them a second time but they are going to have to up their game. The way to beat Seattle is stop their run game and make Darnold win it with his arm. He is a turnover machine when pressed.

On the Pats game, Stroud looks like a guy who has banked his money and is no longer interested. One of the worst, if not the worst, QB performances in playoff history. I give the Pats D credit, but Stroud was awful. He should have been benched at halftime and cut from the team after the game. The Texans are likely stuck with him due to his huge salary but he should be toast. No one else is dumb enough to trade for him, though.
