AFC

Browns @ Chiefs
Ravens @ Bills

NFC

Rams @ Packers
Bucs @ Saints

Who I think wins...

Chiefs
Bills
Packers
Bucs

Who I want to win...

Browns (to see the Mahomies meltdown)
Ravens/Bills - Don't care
Packers - Rams are so boring
Bucs/Saints - can they both lose?

[cavsfan70]

Can't wait for nobody to give Cleveland a chance.

KC won so many games by like 2 and 3 and 6. Go ahead and assume it'll be a blowout because of the 'almighty' Mahomes.

But just remember, if ole Baker beats him JUST LIKE IN COLLEGE. You're gonna see a changing of the guard.

Now go ahead and let the hate flow.

[the mesiah]

That La Rams momentum is swinging the right way , know it’s a lot of “ifs” , if Donald’s rib cartilage issue doesn’t hinder him too much, Goff injury to hand is manageable enough to manage The game ..Let Cam do his thing in the backfield , home field crowd won’t be a factor , that Rams D is flying .

I don't think you are going to see much hate this week. They responded in a big way yesterday and I believe much respect was earned. The Browns have nothing to lose and that puts them in an advantageous position. They are "playing with house money" after winning a game that nobody was giving them a chance to win. Expect them to come out loose and confident.

The Chiefs defense has struggled at times this year and you are correct about close games. Raiders, Panthers, Chargers, Broncos, Dolphins, and Falcons all took them to the wire. But Mahomes is going to throw on the Browns all day. Even with Ward back it won't matter. Mahomes is going to get his yards. This is shaping up to be another 45-41 type game I believe. I like the line at +10. Don't see a real blowout happening, but ya never know.

Then vote for almost all of those guys?

For me, if I was a GM and I had the opportunity to have Jackson, Mahomes, Mayfield, Allen, Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Goff, or Lawrence as my QB next season—I'd probably go with Mahomes, then Rodgers, and then Lawrence with Allen right behind.

[arod305]

You Browns fans better be hammering the +375 Money Line if you think its going to be that close. The Browns probably would have to score 38-42 points to win this game. Mahomes and Company should have a field day against this secondary.

If you take out the Steelers JV game, the Browns have given up an average of 33.5 points against playoff teams Ravens, Washington (lol), Colts, Steelers, Titans, Ravens. No disrespect to the teams above, but those offenses aren't the Chiefs.

On the same token the Chiefs have given up an average of 22.5 points against playoff teams. Ravens, Bills, Bucs, Saints. All of which I'd consider better offenses than the Browns.

Browns looked good last night, I do think +10 is a high line IMO. Browns need to hold the Chiefs to 3 in the red zone and they will have a shot. Although, I am not sure Cleveland's SB wasn't won last night while the other teams season will be considered a failure if they don't win another. Chiefs aren't going to spot the Browns points like the Steelers did and I don't see them stopping the Chiefs consistently so Baker is going to have to be a Stud. Browns need the Chiefs to come out similar to how they did against the Texans last year and then pound the clock.

Chiefs better respect the Browns and I think they will, because they're a good football team. Kareem Hunt would love to end the Chiefs season I am sure.

Browns @ Chiefs
Ravens @ Bills

Rams @ Packers
Bucs @ Saints


I do feel like the rams could give green bay trouble though. Rams have a nasty defense which Rogers hasn't seen much of.

Yeah lol the momentum is swinging the Rams way with their two most important players banged up after they beat a team who lost to the Giants earlier this season, while barely able to move the ball on offense all game. The Rams will be blown out badly, the packers could care less about their nonexistent momentum

[cavsfan70]

since I went 6-0 last week, let's keep it going.

Bills
Packers
Bucs
THE CLEVELAND BROWNS

[JeremyNick]

I don’t think the Browns can anticipate 5 TOs and Mahomes sucking as hard as Ben did last night

Like it or not the Steelers put 37 up after digging a 28 point hole. If Ward comes back they’ll have more of a chance. I don’t think it’ll be a blowout, but it will be mighty hard to pick against the Chiefs.

Good luck to the Browns and Ravens.

[majestik101]

All 'home' teams are winning.

Sorry Browns and Buccaneers fans.

[2010GBPackers]

I just hope we can make it past the Rams.

There will be a polar vortex over Wisconsin the following weekend (NFC Championship).

This is true but the Titans game and last night, they really don't have much experience being up that much and coasting. I mean prevent defense in the 2nd quarter...uhhh lol.

Would've been too ideal if the secondary had a healthy delpit and greedy this year.

[byronscott4ever]

Vikings fan here, and AFC looks better this year. I think GB has the easier path to the SB. Home field advantage without fans doesn’t matter when you have home field advantage with the weather. I’d love to see Cleveland or Buffalo get rewarded for their years of waiting.

There will be 6,000 season ticket holders at Lambeau + front line workers and the friends/family of Packers employees. It's not 80,000+, but it's something.

Let's face it, the biggest factor in if this game is competitive or not is the health of the Rams...

Donald needs to be healthy enough to be a constant disruptor, Goff needs enough strength in his thumb to zip the ball in the cold, and Kupp needs to be that possession guy to keep the ball out of Rodgers' hands.

If things go right, then the Rams could have a chance if they get 2+ turnovers, a consistent pass rush, and a run game that can eat clock.

Things go wrong this week for the Rams, it should be easy work for the Pack.

Good point—“no fans” not quite right
