MFB_CUFC wins the NFL PL title; Week 1 Playoffs deadline is SATURDAY 21:30 06:49 - Jan 4 with 959 views | Barsidepete | Another trophy for MFB_CUFC, and RSCOSWORTH creates a rarity as MFB tallies 101 points and RSCO 100. It has never happened before where two NFL PL'ers topped the 100 mark. Not to mention both finished 80-48. It could not have been closer than that as RS even had the first-to-post tiebreaker -- so I'm conflicted how to handle the trophy ceremony. In theory, RSCO won the Silver Cup ... Give me a couple of days to think about it We have the legendary Buffalo Bills. They were AFC champs and lost in the Super Bowl in 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 ... To say to lose in 4 consecutive Superb Owls is unprecedented would be an understatement in NFL history. Be that as it may. I finished with the most points this week (+7) and didn't experience the indignity of a below .500 season. GERRY_US and THRILLSEEKER had quality 5-3 final regular season weeks, and LEADBELLY on 90 points was truly on form many weeks. DURHAM_EXILE had a fab Stoke/Wolverhampton mid-table season *inside joke. The final table and the first 4 of 11 playoff games: (the Super Bowl will include additional picks, but 100% legitimate Vegas bets, no fluff) THE TABLE (16 of 16): The regular season part is done and dusted: MFB_CUFC ........... (3-5) ... (4) ........... (80-48) ... (101 pts) RSCOSWORTH ...... (2-6) ... (2) ............ (80-48) ... (100) Leadbelly .............. (3-5) ... (3) ............ (72-56) ... (90) durham_exile ........ (3-5) ... (4) ............ (70-58) ... (87) thrillseeker ............ (5-3) ... (6) ............ (70-58) ... (86) gerry_us ................ (5-3) ... (6) ............ (69-59) ... (86) Barsidepete ........... (5-3) ... (7) ............ (65-63) ... (82) Many many more updates during this 1st playoff week... *3 of 4 away teams are actually favoured to win in the Vegas books, You suss who, and buyer beware, (all 4 games on Sky) -- all one-offs, not two legs for these teams ... 1 point games Saturday 9 Jan KANSAS CITY CHIEFS at HOUSTON TEXANS (16:35ET/21:35GMT) PITTSBURGH STEELERS at CINCINNATI BENGALS (20:15ET/ 00:15GMT) 2 point games Sunday 10 Jan SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (13:05ET/18:05GMT) GREEN BAY PACKERS at WASHINGTON REDSKINS (16:40ET/21:40GMT) Deadline is Saturday during the playoffs. These 4 teams have a bye and don't play this week: (conference seeds in parentheses) (1) Denver Broncos (12-4) (2) )New England Patriots (12-4) (1) Carolina Panthers (15-1) (2) Arizona Cardinals (13-3) [Post edited 4 Jan 2016 15:11]

MFB_CUFC wins the NFL PL title; Week 1 Playoffs deadline is SATURDAY 21:30 on 15:48 - Jan 4 with 890 views | Barsidepete | Steelers are an enigma. They won at Cincinnati this season and lost at home to the Bengals. I find that one major surprise is that Denver ends with the no. 1 seed --earned that, mind.So if it come down to it, it will potentially be New England at Denver for the AFC championship. The other surprise is Carolina Panthers and their 15-1. Pundits were predicting Arizona to be very good. But actually 13-3 is a little better than "very good." I don't get a sense that anyone gives Kansas City or Houston a chance after the wild card game is sorted. Seattle is constantly mentioned to reach the Super Bowl. ......... MINNESOTA VIKINGS history in the Super Bowl 1970 -- Kansas City 23, Minnesota 7 1974 -- Miami 24, Minnesota 7 1975 -- Pittsburgh 16, Minnesota 6 1977 -- Oakland 32, Minnesota 14 That's about it for Gerry's and my Vikes ... As legendary as JIm Kelly's Buffalo Bills. Four SB's during a golden era with the Cowboys, Dolphins, Steelers and "da Raidaz" the poster child for the NFL. More useless trivia this week as we head for the 1st 4 games this Sat and Sun -- Look. If you're interested in the NFL, you're not going to be disappointed with this thread. Wash DC is buzzin Monday with a win over their arch-rivals, the Cowboys, and back in August there was no thought of actually making the playoffs. Hey. 80,000 noise-makers at Fed Ex field in DC Sunday. Redskins went from 2-4 to 9-7. Some pundits are totally unsure how to pick the Packers at Skins game. This isn't Lambeau Field advantage; it's 80,000 hostile Wash DC fans | |

They were unstoppable in the first half of the season but have been decimated by injuries, especially on offence. Losing four of the last six games is not great form now it's playoff time. However great the coaching, however great Brady to Gronkowski, the injuries have taken their toll and I don't see another Super Bowl victory. I really hope I'm wrong. | |

Tom Brady has been reported to have a high ankle sprain. At least he has two weeks to heal. | |

MFB_CUFC wins the NFL PL title; Week 1 Playoffs deadline is SATURDAY 21:30 on 04:59 - Jan 10 with 723 views | Barsidepete | Saturday updates as the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers and Arizona Cardinals await the winners of this weekend. 1 point games Saturday 9 Jan KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 30 at Houston Texans 0 -- Final, not a typo PITTSBURGH STEELERS 18 at Cincinnati Bengals 16 -- 3 things you can count on: death, taxes (VAT) and a Bengals loss in the playoffs 2 point games Sunday 10 Jan SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS (13:05ET/18:05GMT) GREEN BAY PACKERS at WASHINGTON REDSKINS (16:40ET/21:40GMT) The first two games of the wild card playoffs were worth 1 point. Both tomorrow are 2-pointers. THRILLSEEKER, RSCOSWORTH and IOWAPETE (me) begin 2-0, 2 points each (2 of 11 games -- the Superb Owl will have Vegas picks as well, such as point spread, over-under, passing and rushing yards, best exact score -- IF you pick the winner) ... *All games on Sky Sports 1 HD. Quarter Finals so far: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS PITTSBURGH STEELERS at DENVER BRONCOS ... the other two games will get sorted Sunday. And both Sunday wild cards are early kickoffs. So go to a pub or watch on Sky Sports 1 HD ... HTTR .. *Hail to the Redskins. [Post edited 10 Jan 2016 5:30]
