Saturday, January 4, go:

Buffalo > @Houston, 4:35 PM ET, but I don’t hate Houston. Houston is favored by 2.5.

That was a helluva game, capped by an amazing Watson play. Good for Houston.

Tru dat!!

Time for Brady's last stand?

Tru dat!!

Time for Brady's last stand?

I wouldn't bet on it tonight, but very possibly his last game in Foxboro.

Who knows? His retirement has been desired by Giselle and predicted by the world for years.

Nope, no bets. But I'll probably lift a beverage if he loses.

Saturday, January 4, go:

Tennessee > @New England, 8:15 PM. New England is favored by just 5....

Nope, no bets. But I'll probably lift a beverage if he loses.

Cheers!

Seal the Deal!

Seal the Deal!

Does this negate Brady's theoretical retirement?

Mostly.

[O Really]

It's a bleak day in Beantown. And sympathy south of the MA state line is probably scarcer than Skittles in the Brady kids' lunch box.

Sunday, January 5

@New Orleans > Minnesota, 1:05 PM, the only home team I’m rooting for, but I don’t hate Minnesota. New Orleans is favored by 8! ...

Not a good weekend for GOATs. Good for Minnesota.

But fly he did! How'd you like to have been the dude on the receiving end of that leap? 250 pounds of flying Beast right in the face.

He caught a pass for big yardage! No one was covering him because they thought they'd never throw it his way. This set up an even longer pass for a TD to DK Metcalf on the next play, 17-6.

DK Metcalf:



Holy crap.

2 OT games, and it could have easily been 4 the way the final scores were. Nice!

It's official - Beast Mode is back!

https://www.seattletimes.com/

1st touch - Beast up the middle for a 7 contested yards .

Which would you and Lady O prefer - #3 seed and 10-6 Vikings at home, or #5 seed and 9-7 Eagles in Philly? I know the obvious answer is #3, but getting #5 really might make for an easier game to win.

I think the Seahawks may have had a better road record than a home record this year. Anyway, it won't matter if they don't get any better than they're playing tonight.

The defense is hanging in there. If the Seahawks somehow wins tonight, it will be ironic if they lose to MN and SF beats Philly.

Different matchups, BUT the Vikings won on the road vs. a #3 team thought to be as good or better than the Seahawks, and the #5 Seahawks won on the road. Guess that worked out okay.

DK Metcalf (Ole Miss): 7 Rec, 160 Yds, 22.9 Avg, 1 TD
The announcers were ranting about how he went in the 2019 2nd round, 9th! receiver picked, 32nd overall, when one of them thought he should have gone 7th overall.

2 passes to Lynch! 25 reception yds and a rushing TD.
Otherwise, Wilson got 45 yds on 9 carries, but Lynch and Homer got 19 yds on 17 carries. Ugh, can't keep winning like that.

Kansas City is favored by 9.5. Too much, I think, but maybe that's my bias.

Seattle @Green Bay. Go 'Hawks! But I don't hate the Packers.
Seattle is favored by 4. Standard homefield advantage +1 seems reasonable.

Would she then be recognized as a Cowgirl?
