I'll be watching every game this weekend!

 

[olbriar]

I have plans to see each and every game this weekend as well. Nothing has gone like I planned lately so I make no promises. I'll be upset if I miss a game.

 

[AugieTN]

Everyone of these games could be an upset.

 

[olbriar]

The 3 point favorite of the Bills is basically home field advantage. I'm not sure if the Chiefs should win that it would be considered an upset. I do expect it to be a good game. The rest of the games look like the odds are right on. This year... about anything can and has happed. They should all be fun to watch. It takes talent, healthy rosters, and luck to win these games.

 

[AugieTN]

The two biggest possible upset that I think could happen are, I could see the Packers upsetting the 49ers. Jordan Love is really hot right now. The other is I could see the Buccaneers beating the Lions. I saw a lot of Cleveland Brown games when Baker Mayfield was there. When Mayfield is on target he looks like Drew Brees. Then when he's off target he's terrible. He's probably the most off and on QB I have ever seen.

 

[Dannydet]

I'm rooting for my Lions but let's face it, they're not there yet...
If they win I'll be shocked.

 

[olbriar]

I'll definitely be rooting for the Chiefs. They have had a sub par year for them. They have played better of late. It will be interesting to see how they perform and how many dropped passes they will have. The Bills D is a bit banged up which will help. I'm not expecting but certainly hoping for a Chiefs victory.

 

[AugieTN]

I'm exciting about the games tomorrow. All of the games should be good!

 

[olbriar]

Do or die games are always exciting. We should see some good games.

 

[AugieTN]

Price of Lions tickets go through the roof.

[olbriar]

Mercy! I believe I'd be forced to watch the game on my TV. I get it though. If it was my team and such a rare post season appearance, I would want to be in the stands to root for my boys!

 

[AugieTN]

Since the Lions have a domed stadium 65,000 fans are going to be extremely loud

 

[olbriar]

That's what home field advantage is all about. Don't you know the fans will be rockin Ford Field.

[AugieTN]

Texans at the Ravens Tied 10-10 at halftime. The Texans are playing better than I thought they would.

 

[Dannydet]

So much for the Texans

 

[olbriar]

Ravens showed the Texans how to play the game in the second half. Just finished the GB San Fran game. I thought the 9'ers would dominate that game. It was a good game.

 

[AugieTN]

Wow 49ers won the game in the last couple of minutes. Close game I thought the Packers were going to win.

 

[Dannydet]

Well my Detroit Lions need to beat Tampa Bay tomorrow and hopefully beat San Francisco.
If they do win tomorrow I think that's as far as they'll get...

 

[olbriar]

I think the Lions have got tomorrow's game in the bag. Home field and packed crowd... all yelling while trying to get the most out of their expensive seats.
Good luck tomorrow Danny. I'll be rooting for you.

 

[Dannydet]

Thanks olbrair, I'm 61 and Detroit hasn't won a championship since 1957 and I'm not getting any younger so hopefully they can pull out a miracle before I die! Lol!

 

[olbriar]

I thought I would never see the Chiefs win it all again. They had a great losing run and were laughingly bad for years. Just hang in there... the struggling teams get their day in the sun too... eventually.

 

[AugieTN]

Here they come. 40 men for 60 minutes with a dream that comes true

 

[AugieTN]

I see the Chiefs are getting ready
