its solely betting that the offense turns around. it's been several games their offense has been bad, especially the second half offense is absolutely disgusting, there's no way they can let this happen in the playoffs right? this team could lose in the divisional and it not be a surprise but i also don't think itd be a surprise if they go on a run

 

Postseason experience is a big thing. They know how to win big games, while Broncos, Pats, Bears, Jags, and a bunch of other solid reg season teams are still younger and inexperienced in big games. A big reason why the pats and chiefs were so successful over the past couple decades despite often not being the best on paper team is that they have the experience in big moments, which now you can say the Eagles have after 2 super bowls and a win with most of their core. 

 

AJ Brown and Kevin Patullo are absolute clowns. The Niners defense is so beat up and broken and the Eagles still could not get anything going.

Has the potential to be one of the most fun playoffs in recent memory, I think. A lot of very flawed and/or unproven teams that could make a run but could just as easily crash and burn spectacularly. 

The Niners could just as easily blow out the Eagles with their high powered offense or get obliterated with their total lack of defense. Multiple 1st and 2nd year QBs actually have a chance to prove themselves as the man. 

I agree with you on Denver being one of the most likely teams to make a SB run from the AFC, and would put the Bills up there too. If Philly does make it past the first round, I don’t see them getting very far, however. The Rams, the Seahawks, and honestly the Niners are all better.

For the Niners if they can squeak out a win against the Eagles are going to be in great position going forward because Warner would be able to come back for the divisional round, I really like their coaching but that Eagles D is relentless.

I rate the bills pretty high honestly but I think its a tough matchup playing the Jags. Their team is playing really great football lately. If we just covered their name and looked at how theyve played on defense (#1 in rush yards allowed, 8th in OPPG, 2nd in takeaways) along with how well Tlaw has been playing, way more people would consider them a legit threat. I get there's a question mark on them but what really convinced me was the Denver game where he absolutely balled tf out w 23/36 for 279 yards, 3 PTD, 1 RTD and no turnovers (but did have 5 sacks).

That Jags @ Den I think proved that the broncos are very beatable even at home. The Broncos fanbase has been in fear of having the Chiefs ruin another season for them, It feels like they forgot there was other competition out there. Sean Paytons play calling has been very lack luster this season, and I think will fail to hold up under the pressures of the post season.

I think Warner is still out until a theoretical Super Bowl. Maybe limited snaps in the NFCC. 

I blame you for Kittle though. "if they can squeak out a win against the Eagles are going to be in great position going forward" smh.

denver is incredibly overrated, also dont think the jags have the experience to make a run

Who does though? Just Eagles/Bills/Rams/Niners, of which only the Bills are AFC? 

Texans, Broncos, Jaguars, Chargers, Patriots, Seahawks, Packers, and Bears either don't have the experience or have notorious chokers (to this point, always a good time to change a narrative) under center. Steelers and Panthers are trash.

The Chargers o-line is actually embarrassing, but the Pats made me more of a believer yesterday.

It's going to be so fucking funny if the Bears win. Betting that just for the lols

Edit: Oh well, guess not. Next are the Bronco horsegirls
