Give me the new school.

Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, and Jayden can do things the old gen couldn't even dream of.

Just watched Barstools weekend breakdown. Gruden picked the Bills to beat the Ravens and made some great points. That dude knows football. Worries me a bit.

It could go either way or either team could win by 2+ scores
NFL games swing on a few plays per game

Bills didn't look that good at home last week until the 4th quarter. They would have been only up 13-7 entering the 4th if not for the 4th down much replayed TD chuck late 3rd.

Ravens always have a few weeks a season they play average, not so much this year. Add in the frigid cold and who freaking knows.

Great Sunday Night Game

Old gen can all win at least one superbowl. Only one guy in the new gen can do that.
The new guys still have a ton of years left to play, in one case their entire career. Using Super Bowls won as a metric to compare them seems unfair (except in Brady's case, of course).

I still maintain that KC is grossly overrated, but I doubt they'll have much trouble with Houston. Texans just aren't a very good team. Unless Stroud can return to his rookie form when he was putting up Madden numbers every week, I think we'll see KC advance easily here.

Maybe KC comes out rusty because they haven't played their starters in about a month, but I just don't see Houston putting up many points against this defense. Especially with Houston not having Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell available. They just lack the offensive weapons to expect them to be much of a threat on the road even against an average team like KC.

Prediction:
KC 24
HOU 13


I'm much more interested in the NFC game. Lattimore vs St Brown/Williams will be an interesting watch. But I think the true test for the Redskins is the run game. Montgomery is back for this one, and he and Gibbs are a fucking handful. The Redskins aren't great against the run - they have given up the 3rd most rushing yards in the NFL behind only the Panthers and the Saints. Jayden Daniels likely keeps it interesting, but I think this game gets shortened with DET just running the ball at will.

Prediction:
DET 27
WAS 17

***********

I'm taking the favorite and the UNDER in both games. Feel free to fade.

Lamar is known to lay an egg in the playoffs, I expect a very poor outing from him Sunday
You're really using a poor argument.

Lamar didn't play well his first 4 playoff games (which were when he was 21-24 yrs old)... and has played very well in his last 3 (26-27 year old).

Its almost like he wasn't a finished product coming out of college. Imagine that.

Every KC loss this year has come in the 4:30 timeslot.

Texan time?
I had a dream that KC was up two scores and decided to do some hook and ladder shit on a punt return that they fucked up, ball went out their own end zone. For some reason in my dream that wasn't touchback for the Texans, they were awarded a TD. Andy Reid was super mad about to blow a gasket, which was strange because I don't think I've ever seen him that mad.

Dream didn't last long enough to see who won.

I'd love it.
But I doubt it.

Sort of sucks that KC only has to beat a single good team in the playoffs to be in yet another SB that nobody wants to watch.

If I had a dream like that and the Texans ended up beating the Queefs my wife probably would have woke me up with a smack and demanded to know what female I was dreaming about due to the size of my boner.
