Who does the NFL want to win today?

Since it now couldn’t be more obvious that this poo is predetermined and rigged  by the refs/New York, who does the NFL want to win today? 
 

New Orleans would be the most obvious answer since they tried so hard to make sure Tampa won yesterday.

On the other hand, all the “controversy” talk dies if Atlanta wins and Carolina makes the playoffs anyway. 
 

Third option is they just don’t care, they only wanted a terrible game to mean something just to drive up viewership. In this case the officiating will be fine and whoever wins will win.  
 

Either way I think I’m about done spending so much time and effort on something as corrupt as this entertainment production.

The idea the League cares about which turd floats in the the toilet bowl known as the NFCS is laughable.  If they were going to rig any game, it would be the Steerlers/Ravens.   Rogers and Lamar/Tomlin and Harbaugh.  I'm not sure which story line the NFL would prefer, but at least that contest is rigging worthy.

It’s about making the Falcons and Saints meaningful today. Viewership will be up now for this one

Last Monday 91% of ML bets were placed on Rams. 2 of the top 5 bets placed this weekend were Bucs -3 and people taking the over

Bucs win by 2 and the under hits. Weird

The legit might not give a crap who gets in now. They got their viewership up for today. I’d have to imagine there’s a crap load of futures on the Bucs though. Prior to season that was an easy bet. I put on Bucs div champs this week.

The NFL is what it is at this point. It’s obvious.

Exactly this…the NFL wanted the crappy game that no one would watch today to be relevant. Now all Panthers/Bucs/Falcons/Saints fans are watching…and more bets on this game I would assume.

Yep it had nothing to do with making sure Tampa got in over Carolina

This was ALL about viewership. If it was about Tampa they’d have kept this game on Sunday and never let it get close. No one would be talking about any of these calls if they kept this game on Sunday. 

The NFL doesn’t even care to hide it anymore. Yesterday was total proof of that. Hell they might even want Carolina to get in now so people now change the narrative to “they deserve to be in” or have people stop talking about the officiating 

Regardless, the NFL can do what they did yesterday and know they’re not losing any fans. So it really doesn’t matter how obvious they make it

Saints are gonna own the division for the foreseeable future 

I'm just relieved they don't have a shot at Mendoza.  While they were lingering in the top 5 for a while, I was worried.  Shough will come back down to Earth next year.  Opposing teams will get an idea of how he plays his game and how the Saints use him.  He's going to be good, but I don't think anything really special.

I would say that's a very premature prediction. The only real competition we have for worst roster in the NFC South is New Orleans. Most of their best/core players are nearing retirement. Ages are at the start of next season.

Kamara: 31

Hill: 36

Davis: 37

Jordan: 37

 

They aren't devoid of young talent but they are still in a very transitional phase. If Shough pans out, that will definitely help them a ton but let's not forget they were net sellers at the trade deadline. They are in a rebuilding phase, not a "division leading" phase.

Saints have excelled at kicking the can down the road, but that roster is aging out never the less. Even their rookie qb is 26 years old. They may not be the up and coming team some think they are, but that doesn't mean they will not be competitive.

The thing to watch is how they progress as their locker room leaders age out and the very, very young head coach attempts this reset. It's possible they can supercharge their rebuild and have it condensed to a season or two but it's also just as possible it goes the other way and they sink to Panthers level.

It’s odd that the penalties all came at a time where the over might have still been in doubt.  But we’ve been getting screwed for weeks by the refs. Got Alex Moore 2 of the final 4 games and Brad Allen was assigned to yesterday’s game. I think they want the Bucs in the playoffs and fully expect the Saints to win today.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
