Cowboys (scromit) are the class of the field. Apart from that the Falcons can beat just about anyone.

Unless they play the Giants.

Absolutely insane TD for the Cowboys on MNF. 70+ yard run. Detroit's defence just opened up and let the running back through!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

So Redskins need to beat the Giants and hope that there is no tie between the Packers and the Lions (when they would all finish 9-6-1 and God knows what the tie break would be)

The Packers would win their division and the Lions would get the play off place based on Conference record 7-4-1 vs 7-5

So Washington must beat New York and hope for a positive result.
Tampa must hope for positive result between Packers and Lions, New York beat Washington, and that they win their last game.
Detroit need both Washington and Tampa to lose, or to simply beat Green Bay, and vice versa. It is going to be very difficult for Green Bay and Detroit to engineer a tie in the final game of regular season that suits them both without someone calling fix.

 

[Tony Towner]

Washington can't get it done and both Detroit and Green Bay are in

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Disappointing.

 

[Deano]

Not convinced Giants, Lions, Texans, Dolphins can do anything in the play offs and same with the Raiders now they have lost Carr. Think the Falcons are in with a shout this year, look very good on offence.

Difficult to look beyond the home teams next week. If the Giants D can stop Rodgers then that might me where the away win comes, but I think my acca will be on 4 homes

Bears "clinch" the #3 draft pick

So my acca came in, paid just over 2/1. I didn't watch the Seahawks game which looks to have been straight forward enough, but the 3 I did see were comfortable wins. Only the Giants looked like they may cause an upset in the first half, but 2 late Q2 TD's including a last second Hail Mary set the tone for the rest of the game.

Next week looks more difficult to call, I'd say only the Patriots are certainties (I miss Toon calling them the Cheatriots). I do fancy the Packers to win in Dallas though, I can see Dak having a rookie wobble under the pressure.

 

[The Bear]

I won on my handicap acca, just over 5/1.

 

[darlowolf64]

Chargers moving from San Diego to LA apparently...

 

[Tony Towner]

Probably means the Raiders will go to Vegas I'd have thought. 2 teams in LA didn't work before, I wonder why they think it will this time? Interesting choice for the locals on who to support, although I suppose it's not inconceivable for the Chargers to take some people from San Diego with them.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Raiders could just stay in Oakland.

 

[Alan]

It's a ridiculous move all around. They'll be playing in a 30,000 capacity stadium and are reviled in LA. Nothing about it makes sense.

 

[Tony Towner]

My acca this week - Seahawks, Packers, Patriots and Chiefs. Seattle is the one I'm not confident about and number one and two seeds in the NFC both getting beaten seems unlikely, but that's my bet.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Falcons won't lose (I hope). Julio should be fresh off the bye and Seattle are poor on the road. Ryan will silence the critics in this one.

 

[The Bear]

I think they'll win at home too. They put up too many points compared to Seattle IMO.

Raiders off to Vegas subject to ratification
