Welp, after the Wild Card Round, we don't have much of a shakeup in the standings this week.

1. Winning the week on the first tiebreaker was @MHS831 with 2 correct picks, and 1 point away from the correct score in the first tiebreaker game.

2. Coming in second, also with two correct picks, were @FakePlasticTrees and @Khyber53.

3. @Datawire, @Raleigh PF, @Mr. Scot, and the bird all got 1 game right.

4. Myself and @bigdavis both goose-egged it this week.

For the Divisional Round, I'd like to try something different if the majority is not opposed.

For each game, assign a confidence level from 1 - 4. 4 is the game you are most confident in, and 1 is the game you are least confident in. If you get a pick correct, you get the confidence points you assigned to that game instead of a single point for the win.

Tiebreakers will remain the same. Early game on Saturday is the first tiebreaker. Late game Sunday is the second tiebreaker.

Not tooting my own horn, but I should get a half-game credit for predicting (in my witty and informative counter narrative to the unsolicited narratives obviously designed to intimidate us posted by Datawire last week) that Wentz would have to leave the game with an injury.  ("Wentz will wince from the sideline...") and visiting Seattle would win. (Hope Wentz is fine, btw). I suppose that I have psychotic powers--not to brag or anything.  I guess you could say that I am kinda the Nostra Dumbas of the board, I suppose.

I stand by every word--even those you thought I misused.

And unlike "Fake Plastic Prom Date", I will post my picks before seeing what the other contenders have to post.   And to the bird, if that is really your name,  I think you are eliminated from having a chance to beat me---although your owner is still in reach.  Ironic and sad, Mr. Scot.

Without further ado (I know you are all hoping that last week is the last time I win by now), my picks:

(In the event my tone is misunderstood, this bit is actually a good-hearted, self-deprecating attempt at humor.  No offense to anyone intended.)

DIVISIONAL PICKS

MIN @ SF 1 confidence points  42 PTS

TEN @ BAL 4 confidence points

HOU @ KC 2 confidence points

SEA @ GB 3 confidence point  42 PTS

Funny, I read that too fast, and thought you said self-defecating.

As they say, it's any given Sunday. Especially in January when no team wants to go home. Lets do this!

I am going to try and keep things short and to the point this week as to not trigger @MHS831 too bad. These are delicate times after all.

MIN @ SF 2 confidence points  34 PTS

Both of these teams are evenly well matched with both the running game and defensive line play and both finished the season with the least amount of penalties. I think Kittle will provide the edge over MIN for the win at home. No overtime game this week for them.

TEN @ BAL 4 confidence points

The Titans will obviously be leaning on Derrick Henry again this week. The best thing the Titans can do this weekend is to keep the Ravens offense on the bench. They are just too strong for the Titans defense. Another home game pick for the Ravens to advance.

HOU @ KC 3 confidence points

If I recall correctly Houston beat Kansas earlier in the season, so the realm of possibilities of them doing it again are possible. However, I just think Kansas is the better team. Andy Reid is something like 19-2 after a bye week. I see a rested Kansas ready to go with home field advantage for the win.

SEA @ GB 1 confidence point  41 PTS

The Packers at home in a playoff situation is just, well...we have all seen it. They got a break last week with the Vikings win. If Rogers can find that magic again Seattle will struggle, especially with a banged up team. I think the Packers defend their home turf for the win.

So there we go @FakePlasticTrees All home game picks, that should be an easy one for you.

FYI you chose 4 confidence points on two games. Please only assign a game one number each.

I would like to file a protest for the attempted Patriotizing of this competition.  I think a 3-game penalty is in order, or are you going to go soft on Datawire, like  Goodell?

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
