77% sounds about right, even though I have no idea where the percentages for success are derrived. For example, Carolina beats Atlanta is given 45%. In a normal game, Carolina has about a 5% chance of winning, but if Atlanta beats New Orleans Monday night, then the Panthers are given much better odds because the game becomes meaningless to the Falcons. Carolina will have 10 days to prepare and Atlanta 6. Factored?

Personally I think the The Golden Calf of Bristol cult will bring energy to Mile High Stadium and he will beat Houston. I predict 23-17.

judgmentally by me!

Yeah I'm assuming it will be a meaningless game but that could change.

I forgot to add in "Carolina wins 1 and Houston wins 2" which would get us to 85%

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
