I posted this 18 hours ago:
I just looked at DraftKings, and now the Ravens are favored by 1.5. So even in the last hour since @Munch posted, the line has moved a 1/2 point.
Both teams looked awfully solid this weekend. Should be an excellent game.
I dunno - the Ravens looked unstoppable on Saturday.
Raven waxed the Bills 35 -10 back in week 4. 'twas in Baltimore so some home advantage. Ravens ran over them with Henry and Jackson was complimentary throwing - a balanced thrashing. I rate (like that means anything 
) the Baltimore defense as superior.
I’m picking Rams over Vikings tonight!
Next week I’ll take Texas, Ravens, Commanders and Eagles, no matter which team wins tonight.
Looking good so far!
How the hell does the tight end not come back on a corner blitz? You could still see him lumbering downfield as Darnold went down.
OOF! Rams up 24-3, getting to Darnold for six sacks already. The blitz worked for Detroit in the season ending matchup with the Vikings as well.
Eight fricking sacks on Darnold. Amazing.
I picked Rams because the Vikes were destroyed last week, travelled and Darnold seemed out of luck.
Same reason I’m picking Texans over Chiefs. Not traveling, but still. Look at the Texans defense.
Totally picking EAGLES as we will sack Stafford about as much.
I don’t follow the analogy… the Chiefs lost to the Broncos, sure, but not with their actual team playing. And the Chiefs and Texans already played once this season - it was one of the Chief’s few convincing wins of the season. And Pat Mahomes is not Sam Darnold.
Also, Saturday weather forecast in KC - <30 degrees and maybe snowing. We all remember what happened to the Dolphins at a chilly Arrowhead last year.
All of that said, the Chiefs are not nearly as scary as the past two years and 8.5 points seems far too high of a line. But it certainly feels like a Chiefs vs. Ravens AFCCG to me.
It was an easy guess.
Brittney Mahomes, has daughter Sterling and son Bronze.
Today she birthed another daughter-Golden.
Interestingly, if the Lions lose next weekend, then this season’s NFC North - arguably the best division to have ever existed in NFL history - will have utterly dominated the regular season but failed to have won a single playoff game.
Weirdly, the Chiefs were the original Dallas Texans, in the very early days of the AFL, until they relocated to KC in 1963.
Here’s hoping!
Ain’t life without Dan Snyder great.
It’s been everything I dreamed it could be!
Updated spreads just because I was curious:
Texans @ Chiefs (-8.5), Saturday, 3:30 CT
Commanders @ Lions (-9.5), Saturday, 7:00 CT
Rams @ Eagles (-6), Sunday 1:00 CT
Ravens @ Bills (+1.5), Sunday 5:30 CT
Lions went up 2 points from 7.5 to 9.5 favorites, while the Bills fell three points from -1.5 to +1.5 to become a straight-up underdog.
Losing Daniel Snyder was great for everyone, not just Washington fans.
This might be of interest only for Lions fans, but I really enjoyed this profile of lineman and “catch-all bitch” Dan Skipper.
Not at all. That was a great article. Thanks for sharing!
Joe Mixon is listed as questionable for the Texans for their Saturday game in KC.
Just saw this in a story in The Athletic today:
In a playoff game between the Packers and the Cardinals on January 16, 2016, Aaron Rodgers completed two passes on the same drive to Jeff Janis for 101 yards and a touchdown. On 4th-and-20 from their own 4-yard line with 55 seconds to play, Rodgers completed a 60-yard pass to Janis to the Arizona 36-yard line. With the clock running, an illegal motion penalty put the ball back on the 41-yard line with 21 seconds to play. After another incompletion, Rodgers completed a TD pass to Janis on the last play of the game. That tied the score at 20-20 and sent the game into overtime.
Alas for the Packer faithful, the Cardinals received the kickoff in OT and scored a TD on a 3-play, 80-yard drive, 75 of which came on the first play on a pass to Larry Fitzgerald.
