2025 Divisional Round Weekend

[74_75_78_79_]

Why does the league have to keep us waiting until the Texans/Steelers game is over to let us know what time each game will be? I would imagine, on Saturday, that Denver (Mountain Time) would get the first game and Seattle (Pacific) would get the second. For Sunday, the Pats (Atlantic) should get the first game and Chicago (Central) should get the second one - especially considering that it'll be the Rams visiting them. Make it the second game for the West Coast fans.

Actually surprised the Patriots arent the saturday night game?
They encamped there in Foxboro during the Belichick/Brady eras.
I still think if Jim Nantz calls the game, its a victory for NE, so I will be watching if CBS carries it.

The winner of Steelers/Texans would automatically be playing on Sunday regardless of who they would have ended up playing. There's no way that team would be given a Monday - Saturday short week in the playoffs.

Yep, the NFL wanted the Steelers for sunday night, but the Texans went off-script.

And now we have to pretend to care about Houston once again before their traditional divisional round el foldo

Looks like Harbaugh will go to the Giants. Can he import Ravens free agents as well?

--Can the Broncos get playoff revenge against the Bills?
--Can Sam Darnold lead the Seahawks to their first divisional playoff win since 2014/15?
--Will Nico Collins play against the Patriots? Can the Texans win their 11th straight game?
--Can the Bears win their first divisional playoff since 2010/11?

Predictions

Broncos
Seahawks
Patriots
Rams

I dont trust the Rams in freezing games, but might take them as favorites. Will take the Patriots in a low-risk parlay if Collins doesnt play.

Sheesh, Buffalo didnt anticipate the Broncos going into the endzone where they gave up an easy TD pass. Good game, the Bills have ran the ball but a critical fumble. Now two. With a 20-10 lead can the Bronco's pass rush make the difference in the second half?

[Brian wolf]

Exciting finish to this game. Once again, the Buffalo defense cant stop the other team from getting a possible game winning TD in the postseason. Can Allen send the game to OT with a FG?

Prater big to tie it, but the Bills missed a TD pass to Knox.

[Brian wolf]

Pass interference penalties doom the Bills. Had Cooks came down with the deep pass, the Bills would have won. Denver has to breathe a sigh of relief putting away the Bills after forcing five turnovers ...

[Brian wolf]

Seahawks are putting the pressure on SF with a 17-6 lead.

Bo Nix will not play the AFC Championship game due to injury. Are the Patriots set up for a SB run, or will the Texans ride their defense to an upset?
