Last night's Packers v 49ers OMG.

Par4QC

professor I'm just concerned about a team - maybe dangerous - that's playing with nothing to lose.

'Spoiler/revenge' teams are around, probably more than 1 or 2. But will they play their best players, full games?

sdandrea1

professor Nothing about your "Commanders"? Hmm... At the beginning of the season:

Nobody saw this fall from grace coming. We got spoiled last year. Nothing to talk about now except what happens next year and I'm not optimistic.

Well, if that's the way you feel about it, I need to say thanks for last year's post-season gift when your Commanders took out the Lions. That was very nice! Thanks

professor Now I'm just concerned about a team - maybe dangerous - that's playing with nothing to lose.

They clinch after they beat Washington on Saturday. I'm curious to see if they rest anyone for the final 2 games.

sdandrea1 depends on seeding options. Worst would be a 3.....but if they could move up a seed line then it would be worth it.

Clinch first. Then watch the scoreboard to see other outcomes. A 2 seed is still better than a 3 seed. For that matter, with the Thursday night matchup and the two Saturday games, we'll already know more. I'll need to root for the Seahawks on Saturday night since and if Philly ends up tied with the Rams they already have that tie-breaker.
Fun stuff!

You're welcome. The Lion's revenge this year was epic.........for Lions fans.🤣

It's the "if this, then that" part of the season. Sports talking heads all have boners. 🙄

Lmao. Yes…

'Bout time. I'm not sure that Ewers is the answer but it's pretty apparent that Toua isn't.

mulegolf I am surprised they aren't giving Zach Wilson the start, to be honest. He can make all the throws. He showed some promise in NY. Needed some coaching and a better team, but he seemed to me like a guy who had something in the tank.

professor

I'm wondering how well the Bears can hang onto their division lead. Can they go to Green Bay, face a Parsons-less Packers team and win?

professor This week's game is in Chicago.

professor earlier in the year, my answer would have been "no". But now in Soldier Field, I'm being optimistic and predicting da bears are a toss up.

professor it's at soldier field ....and yes ....although the odds makers say GB by 1.5🤔. They narrowly lost two weeks ago in GB with Parsons ....only a last possession Int in the end zone stopped them from a tie or potential 2 pt conv for the win. How GB is favored is a mystery but me thinks that they want money coming in on the game. Bears will win.....probably close for a while and they pull ahead for a comfortable win in 2nd half.....I think these teams in the NFC are evenly matched....1-8 less TB or Car.....although cannot sleep on them.

If they just wanted money coming in on the game … wouldn’t they make Green Bay 70 point favorites?
It’s not a mystery why Vegas has them as 1.5 pt favorites, the mystery is why that number is required to get the betting public to evenly distribute their total wagers? Vegas knows that the public’s betting patterns are influenced by prior year performance, offenses over defenses … and other factors with no real bearing on the actual game.

Let's see the Rams knock off the Seahags again tonite!👍

As a Niners fan, I gotta root for the Seahawks tonight 🤢

If Seattle wins tonight and the Niners win their last 3 games, Niners are the #1 seed 😎

That would be impressive.

LOL Don't hold your breath on that. I think the 49'ers are right where they are, 3rd in the NFC West. The question remains whether there will be 3 teams from the West in the playoffs? I think that's most likely.

My breath is holding fine. Niners now are 5 HOME game wins from a Super Bowl ring:

Home wins against Chicago and Seattle
First round bye
Divisional and NFC Championship at home
Super Bowl at home

Which says what about those who gamble and lose their money? LOL

😄You might be hard pressed to find a losing gambler.
Usually they are 'even' or 'close to even', overall. Some are also 'ahead by a couple bucks'.
Ask around, you'll see what I mean.
