2023 NFL Conference Championships

It’s more radio while I’m driving before Spotify kicks in

Nah, niners are gonna kill 'em. Game will be over mid 2nd quarter.

Fair enough. I despise ESPN (and whatever channel Skip is on, Fox Sports?). I stop for coffee often in the morning and the place I go to will have ESPN on with GET UP!!!!! (not sure why they have to yell at me) and I see the "panel" and want to barf.

Only thing good about those shows is the token hot chicks.

John Madden complained about this setup for years saying these games are so big they each deserve their own day. I wish they'd do that but it's probably never happening.

I'm all in on Purdy for DFS tomorrow. Either he craps the bed and I get to shove it down ethbtc's throat, or he goes nuclear and I'm rich.

The ultimate win/win.

Divisional round average viewers:
Ravens - Texans: 31.8mil
49ers - Packers: 37.5mil (most watched Saturday TV program since 1994 winter olympics Nancy Kerrigan vs. Tonya Harding)
Lions - Bucs: 40.4mil
Bills - Chiefs: 50.4mil (most watched divisional round playoff game ever)

Personally I'd prefer Saturday/Sunday too. It just doesn't make sense for the NFL.

I can't say that I have encountered anyone who thinks that the Loins will wreck the Niners, but then again I really don't watch or listen to talking heads.

The markets sure don't think that.

I don't think anybody serious thinks it. Detroit has been terrific against bad defenses, and good on defense against bad offenses. Problem for them is that the Niners aren't either. They aren't going to stop Bork/CMC/etc, so there's going to be a ton of stress on the Lions offense to keep pace.

If the line were Niners -6.5 I'd take that all day long, hypothetically. I'd pass if it's on the other side of the 7 unless I was emotionally hedging.

I’m too used to pain

Everybody's a tough guy until their kneecaps get bitten off. Lions by a million.

hey nate
with this post my goal is to credit you a round someday that suits you
bills on me
seems only right since i haven't a base to tailor it around
nor would i

I work from home on Mondays and I fire up the tv and GET UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is always on and I sit there with a morbid curiosity lasting 3-5 minutes

Truly terrible television

I'll take it

It's the worst. Other observations.....I think last year the 2 high shell became a thing. So teams like the Chefs, Bills, couldn't just throw bombs all the time. I was watching NFL live and the panel said the D is daring you to "run them out of it." The host (token bimbo and former Miss Florida) asked what that meant. Le sigh.

I also don't miss BIG MEN BALLIN!!!!!!! with the uber hilarious Marcus Spears.

Nor do I miss the ultra WOKE around the horn.

Can't believe people pay for that garbage.

RANT OVER

I'm guessing that fly left with kneecaps intact.
Perhaps covered in Brylcream but intact.

It must suck to have to limit your sports media content to Clay Travis.

Packers struggled early in the season with a first time starting QB but were 6-2 in their last 8 games and ran a train on Dallas, up by 4 TDs before they took their starters out on D and allowed 2 pity TDs at the end. People underestimating how tough of a matchup Love/GB was and how bad Goff is at QB against good defenses, Niners by a million.

👍

Finally Sunday is here.

Good morning, all!

not confident enough to sport Purdy's jersey

#sad

Nah. I barely believe in wearing jerseys. I certainly won’t wear one of someone younger than I am

Consequently:

Only 52% of bets are going to the Lions, despite being the team everyone is rooting for. Lots of smart money going on the 49'ers even with the -7.5 line looking good for Lions.

Do you mean 52% of money bet? The line wouldn't make much sense if only 52% of bets are on the Lions with all the big money bets on the 49ers (if the latter is the case). Doesn't really make a difference if there's one million $1 bets or one $1mil bet.

Leggo Lamar. Do the damned thing.
