4:30 PM - Colts at Ravens

8:30PM - Vikings at Packers

Two pretty bad matchups considering the Packers and Colts are totally out of playoff contention . 

Raven's have huge incentive to win this game . They pretty much have to win this game to get into the AFC playoff picture. Colts have huge incentive to lose this game , because they have a chance to get as high as the #2 pick in the draft . Also rumors they're going to clean house with the coaching staff, pair #2 picks across the board in the draft with luck coming back and possibly a much better coach coming to town, they could be a pretty interesting team to watch next year. NOT this year though apparently. Expect a blowout.

2nd matchup is at least a little more interesting since its at Green Bay. Vikings are flying high and have more to play for than the Packers since they can still technically get the #1 seed in the NFC if Phily loses out and Vikes win out. I think Green Bay makes this a closer game than the 1st since its at home and they at least have some talent on offense, and Hundley had a few starts under his belt this season. This game, we actually have a lot of incentive to watch . If the Packers pull off a miracle and knock the Vikings down to 11-4 and suddenly we have a decent shot at the #2 seed (we would have to beat TB while the Saints and Rams would both have to lose).

The Viking losing is absolutely the miracle game that probably wont happen. BUT if it happens, I'm feeling pretty good for our chances to steal the 2 seed. Titans vs Rams is in Nashville, and the Titans are playing for a playoff spot, they could be outsted from the playoff race with a loss so they will at least give the Rams a run for their money I'm betting. Falcons obviously have all the motivation in the world, win out they win the division. And we have no business losing to the Bucs.

Also, Titans are far better at home this year than on the road.

I think the titans will loose BUT the rams play jimmy G and the 9ers week 17.

Yeah I'm thinking they'll drop one of those. Much less confident in the Vikings losing one of their last two though. And less confident in the Aints losing one of their next two as well. I doubt there's really any real chance the Falcons wins tomorrow in NO with NO playing with the division on the line and after the first loss.

I understand the first part, but don't try comparing the upcoming two games to the Panthers game. We were 8-4 at the time and it was in Carolina. The Packers are 3-5 without Rodgers and have looked utterly terrible only barely beating the worst team in the league in OT and also slipping by another terrible team in TB. And then the Bears in MN... Extremely unlikely. 

I'm just tempering expectations. I fully expect us to win out and the Aints to drop one with us winning the division. I just think the odds are too long for the 2 seed.

      Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.

      no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.

      Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
