BALT has a history of trouble with PIT, for whatever reason. I have a co-worker is as big a Ravens fan as I am Bills, and he can't explain it. I think BALT is the scariest team right now, but...trends. 

HOU, I agree, is a paper tiger. 

There is zero chance this Ravens team loses to this Steelers team. This could set a record for betting margin.

I dunno, BALT was -20 today. And covered.

Another cool thing about the NFL - When the Lions complained about the Vikings buying tickets to the upcoming game on the secondary market and selling them to their season ticket holders for a loss, the NFL told them to pound sand.

So you are saying with Flowers the Ravens chances blossom but without Flowers their chances could very well be wilting away?

As predicted, the Chiefs will not be helping the Dolphins or Bengals.

The Tampa Bay defense gets a stop with 36 seconds up 8 points (one possession game) with New Orleans only having one time out so two kneel down seals the win, the division, and the playoffs.

Tampa Bay decides to throw a pass to Mike Evans to get him the 5 yards receiving he needs to tie Jerry Rice for the lead of 11 straight seasons with at least a 1,000 yards receiving and get a 3 million dollar incentive.

If it would have resulted in a turnover the criticism of the coach would have been fierce.

New England screws around, wins and loses out on the #1 Draft Pick.

And they still barely beat the Bills' backups. 

And predictably, NE fires the HC Mayo.

The last three weeks

Week 16 - Las Vegas Raiders in position for the #1 pick - Win

Week 17 - New York Giants in position for the #1 pick - Win

Week 18 - New England Patriots in position for the #1 pick - Win

So much for teams tanking for the #1 pick

That also let Evans hit a 3M incentive so the locker room loved it.

Chargers -3 @ Texans… Chargers cover. 

Steelers +9.5 @ Ravens… Ravens cover.

Broncos +8.5 @ Bills… Bills cover.

Packers +4.5 @ Eagles… Eagles cover.

Commanders +3 @ Bucs… Commanders win.

Vikings -2.5 @ Rams… Vikings cover.

I don't know about that Ravens game. My co-worker is a huge Ravens fan, and we both agree that PIT gives the Ravens issues overall in recent history. I think PIT covers, if not wins. It makes no sense, but...

Besides the Commanders/Bucs, that’s the one other. +8.5 is a lot for division foes in a playoff game. I just don’t put much faith in Russel Wilson.

Baltimore beat Pittsburgh 34-17 two weeks ago. Pittsburgh going into the playoff with a four game losing streak is pretty wild. They are due a good game but Lamar and King Henry are going to be tough. I could see it being a close game for 3rd quarters and then the Ravens pulling away in the 4th quarter but the Steelers could certainly get a late TD that swings the bet (not the game).

The real question is who HAVEN'T they fired? They fired Robert Saleh mid-way through the season. They also fired their GM, and IIRC, their OC. The interim HC is their former DC.

...Or just seed it like it always should have been, 1 through 8.  Sure, give division winners in a crappy division a playoff spot, but don't REWARD them for being the best worst team by giving them a higher seed, that makes utterly NO sense whatsoever.

They play too many games with seeding.

Hard disagree.  There should be a reward for winning your division and it should be a home game.

No that is too confusing and needless.  If a team like the Vikes can't win they division they don't deserve a home playoff game.  They had their chances and blew it.

It works great the way it is...that kind of reseeding makes no logical sense.

Though they do reseed… it’s not a set bracket. The highest seed gets the lowest seed.

Why is it ok for one team to have 7 chances but another only 3?
