In case you need to know the scenarios for the AFC 7 seed

Yes, the Jags can get the Wild Card if everyone loses, including them!

The AFC South having two 8-9 playoff teams is still the ultimate comedy option

Game time

Yeah I can't bring myself to care about this game.

Also the Bengals need to shut up about the coin flip thing already. Less whining, more preparing for a game they should win easily.

They don't deserve a damned thing if they lose it anyway.

go raiders

If the Ravens weren't so hopeless on offense, I'd expect them to win after all the whining.

The Bengals are creating their own distraction and I think it's a negative, but I don't see the Ravens achieving much of anything.

They don't even score a TD last week without a phantom personal foul call.

Sure would be cool to win by 30 heading into our well deserved bye!

Sure doesn't look like I've missed out of anything here. Not sure why why one of the biggest favorites of the week got a standalone game. I doubt a single person is on the Raiders. Leon's probably on the Titans because homer pick though!

I kinda think as far as picks go there's only 4 or 5 games that actually matter. I have confidence in my picks for.. Exactly 1 of those games.

I did pick the Titans but I have enough of a cushion to sustain a loss on a homer pick

CALLED IT

I do legitimately think they can win though.

Also did not even realize this was in play. Didn't hear anyone mention it before this:

Yea Im not ready to figure out how I feel about records being set in 17 game seasons

Hadn't heard of it.

I wanted to use Mahomes in Ladder because I think he's going to ball but level 9 has to all be picked at the same time and I didn't want to give anything away for tomorrow.

I'm probably just going to pick all QBs from the same timeslot which is sure to go well!

Nobody cared when records were broken in 16 game seasons that were set in 12 or 14 game seasons. The records aren't sacred in football like they are in baseball, so it's fine to celebrate it.

Oh the Chiefs added another 3.

Let me guess another Raiders turnover

On a side note..

This team put up 34 on San Francisco?

Picking the Raiders to cover 9.5 appears to have been a bad plan.

The Saints have given the Broncos permission to interview Sean Payton

Denver just determined not to have any first round picks any time soon since they'd probably have to give one to the Saints to get him

Correct me if Im wrong, but the Ravens wouldve won the division if the Bengals lost to the Bills and Ravens, right? So if the Ravens sweep the Bengals, a coin toss will determine who hosts the wild card game sort of symbolic of the unknown outcome of Bengals/Bills had it been played. Meanwhile the Bengals clinched the division on an NFL decision and the Ravens lost their chance to potentially win the division. Not perfect, but I think the Bengals are blowing it out of proportion. Just beat the Ravens. Youre unquestionably better than them with Huntley under center.

Would anyone be surprised if the Jags lost?

The Bengals could've been the 2 seed with a win over Buffalo, too, meaning they'd have hosted their divisional round game instead of having to go on the road if they meet now.

But they went to the Super Bowl winning two road games, so they shouldn't feel like they need home field.

Titans have a lot of players back. Autry being back on defense is huge. They haven't won a game since he got hurt.

Interesting decision to try a lateral across the field at this point and time

They seem to be doing the most complaining, by far, about the coin flip scenario.

Which just makes me want to see them lose.

Jags gonna Jag

My EXACT thought as I went to click on the new topic post

A FUMBLE why not

Vintage Henry stiff arm right there

Henry just launched some dude.

And it's 10-0. If anything, I thought the key might be that DOBBS is the best QB the Titans have had all year!

I'm going to be sad when Henry retires because he's been the most fun RB to watch in forever.

Yeah, Dobbs is a noticeable upgrade over Malik Willis. I've said it every time I've watched Willis play this year. That dude ain't ready yet.

I remember someone asking this at one point and it's worth considering: Could Derrick Henry be the last Hall of Fame running back ever?

The problem is the sample size was too small for Dobbs. Couldn't trust it yet.

Of course we're going to lose. God I hate the Titans so much.

Hello fellow Jags fan

Jags needed that drive

There's no other RB right now that's playing where I'm thinking is even worth considering for the HoF. Everyone else is immediately replaceable. I think David Montgomery and Ezekiel Elliott are probably both tep ten RBs in the league right now and their teams wouldn't even blink if they got hurt.

But I also think at some point there is going to be some change in the league that makes RBs less disposable but who knows.

Oh hey Jags not Jagging at least temporarily.

That was fast

I think the only real way for a RB to get in in the future is be great and to have multiple Super Bowls

Titans doing basically everything they wanted to accomplish so far

good first half for Dobbs

Some talking head said the Titans needed Henry to have "like 34 rushes" in this game if they wanted a chance to win.

At halftime, he's at 17!

It didn't look like Lawrence gained anything there to me, but there's no point in challenging the spot.

That's the kind of mistake by Lawrence that cost the Jaguars early games.

Wow, Lawrence has played so well in this game that it was kinda shocking that he missed the wide open guy by that much.

pain

augh such a good run negated

that INT could be a momentum shifter

Bad decision by Dobbs but again the Jags can't capitalize on a chance.

Big stop by the defense, whew

This is a way more entertaining game than I thought it would be!

I'm a neutral party though so sorry Titans/Jags fans that are probably pulling their hair out.
