- Chicago Bears: Adrian Amos: $26,739 for defenseless player
- Philadelphia Eagles: Michael Bennett: $10,026 for a punch. TWO-TIME LOSER
Has there been one meaningful surprise YET?
Andrew Luck puts out Baltimore, only to then get the order to lay down to Kansas City (which makes sense for a reason...)
... while Russell Okung is right -- the NFL doesn't want a home playoff game for the Chargers.
But think, Russell: In this day and age, would the league WANT to play the 2018-19 AFC Championship Game in a 27,000 seat soccer stadium?
You're right.
Now the Rams are in the NFC Championship Game (game just completed during my post here), and probably await the Saints.
Oh, and ESPN's second sub-line for the game tonight? LeBron and other stars showing up in LA for the Rams. The New Showtime, people -- but they'll need that for the new stadium opening in two years.
The one big bugaboo for some people would be New England going down, but... TB12 anyone?
I will say this: New England wins, and the NFC Champion will win the Super Bowl. I'm just not sure if the Charger reality in LA doesn't need that jolt to become viable.
Although i would'nt put it past them, i am also now beginning to think now that only one LA team is capable of advancing. But if anyone could pull it off, its the NFL. Two capable teams out of LA? That's a storyline in itself.
ReplyDeleteLast year was a bit of a lackluster conference championship week with the Jags and the weak NFC matchup. I think they go for the big games this year. I expect a high scoring exciting AFC game today. I'm betting the over today in the day game.
Note how Vegas, in a relatively down year, just made ALOT of $ back yesterday with the two faves and two unders coming in.
They just killed the Chargers. I cannot see the Chargers as any more than the "Clippers" of the NFL now, and that's not going to be very viable.
DeleteThis PROBABLY forces the Rams, but I do think it forces the NFC team to win the Super Bowl.
