Gronk is spot on. Rodgers loves him some Rodgers. Great player, but that last line "Maybe that’s one of the reasons why he’s won four of them — and only one Super Bowl", sums him up perfectly, imo. |

Jags/Chiefs if anything I can see the Jags making a game of it early then the Chiefs take control of the game. Similar to what we saw in the Cowboys/Bucs game. But if Trevor can play at a high level the whole game, who knows, maybe they have shot at it but I just don't see them winning this game.
Eagles/Giants nope, it's all eagles in this one. Jones played good last week but it's time to come back down to earth. Although, if Barkley can explode, maybe they have a chance.
Bengals/Bills yeah, the rematch we've all been waiting for. I'm sure we all know what happened the last time these two played. The worst decision ever was not finishing the game the next day. That being said, cincy had the lead when they called the game. It will be hard to duplicate that scenario, it's almost like having to beat them twice. I see the Bills staying in control for most of the game. This is like hitting the reset button in a videogame and getting a free second chance.
Cowboys/49ers time for Dak to choke. lol... it was a nice run but you can't play a worn out Bucs team every week. The 49ers are a completely different animal. It could get ugly...

Cannot wait for these games - they are all intriguing
Chiefs/Jags is the game most likely to be lopsided as they Chiefs have the AFC’s best record and are loaded with talent and have arguably the most explosive offense in the NFL while the Jags barely snuck into the playoffs, but the Jags are red hot right now so I could see them making it a good game. It would take a near miracle for them to go into Arrowhead and win, but I won’t rule anything out.
Eagles/Giants is a game in which the Eagles would appear to have a heavy advantage, but this will be the 3rd meeting between the teams and it’s hard to beat a team 3 times in a year and so both teams will know each other pretty well, I’m curious if the Giants secondary can hold up against the 2 excellent Eagles receivers Brown and Smith, and the battle between the Giants O-Line and the Eagles pass rush will be good.
Bengals/Bills is the most intriguing game of the weekend and the most evenly matched - both teams are extremely talented but both have some work to do and didn’t look 100% sharp in their first playoff game, the Bengals have the better offense IMO while the Bills have the better defense. Could go either way, I’m picking the Bengals because I trust Burrow more than Allen, and the Bills turnover problems and inconsistent run game are concerns, although the Bengals aren’t great at corner and will need to prevent big plays.
Cowboys/49ers is very interesting as well, both teams have very strong defenses that are good at each level and can force turnovers and pressure the QB, and I think the team that wins the turnover battle wins the game. I’m picking the Niners because they are at home, are red hot and have a more complete offense than the Cowboys, it will be interesting to see if Purdy maintains his hot streak and how Dak does.
Overall I can’t wait for this weekend - arguably the best weekend of football in the year!!

I might change my pick to the Bengals. Allen is too emotional. He's out there getting into fights. I don't like it.

The content that interview created got blown way out of proportion. Pat asked Rodgers if he thinks he could play better than this year and Rodgers answered saying he thinks he could still play at an MVP level. What is wrong with that? What people cut out is that before that statement he literally said the only reason to come back is to win a Super Bowl. So this entire talking cycle about that interview was nothing more than talking heads tv time filler. |

Giants lost to the Cowboys twice back in 2007 before knocking out the #1 seed Cowboys in the divisional round of the playoffs on the way to the SB, maybe they can conjure some pixie dust again?
Looking for KC to professionally and systematically disassemble the Jaguars. Bengals/Bills could go either way and Cowboys hang for a while but they get outdistanced by the Niners.

Oh, Canada! Steelers running it back with their embattled OC. The only argument for this is that you try to avoid the situation where a young QB ends up getting 4 OCs in their first 5 years kind of thing. The offense came along somewhat in the second half of the season, but most Steeler fans aren't excited about this to say the least. Meanwhile, there are rumors that the Bucs could be going after Todd Monken from Georgia as their next OC.  |

Rodgers brings it on himself. The Packers were 3-6 earlier in the season and Rodgers was talking about how he still believes he can right the ship because: "I'm still the reigning two-time MVP." This is the kind of stuff other players simply don't say - it crosses the line between confidence and arrogance and for what? The guy has one of the more disappointing playoff resumes in terms of the expectations he and his team consistently fail to meet - and a lot of those expectations are generated by his own words and attitude. |

That was my initial takeaway as well, but when you factor in his history, it really is Rodgers in a nutshell. I respect having confidence in yourself, but "I could still be MVP" is a douchey thing to say in any context. |

Yeah, fair enough. I just feel that there's enough bullshit to criticize someone for, we don't need to go diving into something else and making it problematic. But I won't defend Rodgers beyond that. He IS a giant asshole.

Speaking of giant assholes, at lunch today, Kevin Sorbo was sitting next to me! I love being in SoCal.
