Chargers vs. Patriots next SUNDAY night? NBC looks like that's what it's advertising.

Steelers are the 4th seed, so if they get by Houston, and the Patriots beat the Chargers, the Bills beat the Jags, then the Steelers would be traveling to New England and not Denver. We may get them the 2nd weekend.

I don’t expect the Bills to beat the Jags. Buffalo has problems.

Can't say I like that if it's true.

Why? West coast team coming to the northeast on a cold dark winter night sounds fine to me.

I thought both Steelers and Ravens looked chaotic, very helter skelter offenses. Ravens scored on a broken play then the Steelers scored with the Ravens db slipped. They both looked sloppy, both made mistakes and exploited their opponent’s mistakes.

I was thinking in the last two minutes which looked more dangerous to my eye and decided it was Pitt. Besides they already beat us and we already beat the Ravens. Now we may get the chance to even the score with Pittsburgh. I think the Pats are enough better that it won’t be a problem, if both teams make it that far. I think the Pats will. Not so sure about the Steelers, they’ll need to get past Houston and then Denver. I think it will be very surprising if they do.

The end of that game was hysterical.

I just don't like the late Sunday games for turnaround BUT I forgot that a few years ago they added a MNF game to wildcard weekend. AND if the Patriots win we get the MNF winner.

I agree. I'm so used to assuming the Bills are one of these battle-tested, big-game teams the last several years with Allen and Co. But this year they don't seem as deep or potent on either side of the ball. And JAX (who typically folds in the playoffs) looks pretty legit. I can see Jaguars beating the Bills in this situation.

Sunday Night Football, guess I'll mute the tv and listen to the radio version!

Craziest line of the week, but I guess there's way more casual money out there these days than I realize.

Jags could legitimately win that game by 3 TDs.
