This game is playing out just like I thought so far.

I think they should just have a committee pick 4 teams.Rate This wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:51 pmI think they should also eliminate the bye in favor of 8 teams.bmw wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:36 pmI used to think that, but now that they've added an additional wild card, I think this is no longer necessary.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:16 pmI think the NFL should go from eight divisions to four. Play each team in your own division once annually as opposed to twice. Such a change would help prevent mediocre teams from winning divisions (*cough* Tampa Bay *cough*).
The one change I would support is that in a wild card vs. division winner matchup, home field goes not to the team with the better seed, but rather with the better record (seed being the tiebreaker if both teams have the same record). So I would leave seedings and matchups alone, but like in the case of the Dallas vs. Tampa Bay game, I would have given the home field to Dallas rather than Tampa Bay.
Both are very annoying - true!Not nearly as annoying as that ram's horn for the Vikings...gawd!
They would pick the 4 teams that would make them the most money every time.craig11152 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 5:46 amI think they should just have a committee pick 4 teams.Rate This wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:51 pmI think they should also eliminate the bye in favor of 8 teams.bmw wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:36 pmI used to think that, but now that they've added an additional wild card, I think this is no longer necessary.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Tue Jan 17, 2023 5:16 pmI think the NFL should go from eight divisions to four.

Ya' know, just because you lose, doesn't mean you choke. I would hardly call last years SB a gag job on the Bengals part. I thought they overachieved all playoffs long, actually. They covered the spread in the SB which tells you they did better than Vegas thought they would.Mike wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 6:54 pmSpeaking of chokers:
My (theoretical) money is on the winner of San Fran-Philadelphia taking it all. Something's telling me that Cincy ends up besting the Chiefs, especially if in fact Mahomes isn't 100% due to his ankle problems, only to...you guessed it: End up choking in the Super Bowl YET AGAIN.
