Game Day Thread: Titans/Chiefs and Falcons/Rams

[RobertWeathers]

Looking at -8.5 and -7 myself but honestly dont think there is any value to go for -7 relative to -8.5. Dont think it those 1.5 points will really be the difference here.

Rams v Atlanta I just cant decide what to do. Having Atlanta ML at 3.1 is just soo tasty.. I know Sarkisian is there but all that needs to happen is Atlanta playing up to their potential.. also the Rams seem overhyped to me..

I like ATL. I think Goff has played out of his ass and ATL has a better D

 

[Kontradiction]

People forget how good Jacksonvilles D is. Their unbelieveabla against the pass.

Biggest mismatch by far imo.

Yeah I honestly think Buffalol gets shut out unless they score defensively.

Would like to watch the Chiefs game but I'm here in a sunny saturday working to meet a deadline in an IT project... for a NFL owner.

Titans have won the last two against KC (2014, 2016), both at Arrowhead.

Also, the Chiefs haven't won a home playoff game since the 1993 season (Jan 94, a wildcard game in OT against the Steelers).

It's far from impossible.

I really dont care much about those historical stats. One of the Titans wins you mentioned was under Wisenhunt and I dont think the Chiefs have faced such an easy opponent at home in the playoffs in a while.

Historical? It was last year. Chiefs needed the game for playoff position.

You literally mentioned that one data point I explicitly didn't mark as irrelevant.

I don't see Atlanta being able to contain Gurley. Once Gurley gets going, it will open up the play action for the Rams, and they're the best play action pass team in the league. Meanwhile, Atlanta is the worst team in the league at defending against play action.

The Rams defense isn't anything special, but neither is Atlanta's offense. Atlanta's run game won't have much of a chance of getting going, as I expect the Rams to jump on them early.

I never thought Shady was "the mvp" but he deserves some love & def was the MVP for Buffalo.

Yea I don't see it for Buffalo. I think Jags defense has a day and they won't be asking Blake to put up 30+

23-26/14-17 Jags

 

[Dingleberry]

Yup, I'd love to see a big Tits win

Big Tits are always a win.

Unfortunately, KC is gonna kill the Titans

Atlanta will shock everyone. Then they luck into Foles-a-delphia

I'd sell out on the play action. Let Goff beat me ATL can play man on Cupp and Austin with Trufant and Alford.

If I'm ATL I stuff 7 in the box and spy on Gurley all day with Jones.

They've only allowed 1 100yd rusher all year and that was Ajaya in Oct.

I'm not sold on the Rams,, sorry

I can see Gurley putting up 75 yards on 25 carries or something in this one. Make Goff beat you. Leave it to your halfway-decent corners to cover those halfway-decent receivers.

 

[meatface]

I would too, but tough to make a case for a team that is 3-5 on the road, 2-3 in their last 5 games to end the season and who have a negative point differential to go into KC and pull out a win.

KC isnt very good either. I could see anything happening, the AFC really sucks

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I will post my predictions tonight

 

[TB12TheGoat]

Please titans and jags win

 

[AtomicDawg]

Keys to the Chiefs winning: Alex Smith being consistent, misdirection taking a big factor, defense taking away vertical options

Keys to Titans winning: Offense actually showing up, forcing Smith to hold onto the ball, eliminating his first reads.

 

[AtomicDawg]

BTW: I'm doing a counter for the Chiefs game at how many "This Guy"s we hear from Gruden.

 

[Foxypats]

Hoping the Titans can pull off the upset

 

[JMC00]

chefs 0-6 in the playoffs prior to Reid
1-3 since Reid became coach
1-9 in their last 10

Reid 2-4 in his last 6 playoff games with the Eagles
1-3 with the chefs
3-7 in his last 10

 

[AtomicDawg]

I really wish they didn't have to scream into their mics every time they talked about anything on this show. Sounds like one of those idiotic hot take shows.

Titans vs KC.

Titans are going to win and let me tell you why. Titans will not allow KC to run. They are going to have limited success on the ground and the game will fall on Smith.

The Titans can pass rush while keeping him in the pocket which will turn him into captain check down and those long plays to Hill and Kelce won't be there.

The Titans offense will run effectively and will be able to give their qb an easier time. On pass offense they won't do much but neither will KC. This will be about who can just make a few big plays and not be too stagnate on offense. I think the Titans get the key be defensive plays with maybe a strip sack to put them over the top.

Titans 20 KC 16
