Odds to make Super Bowl from Caesar's Sports Book (via ESPN: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35378729/nfl-playoffs-bracket-preview-schedule-super-bowl-chances-all-14-teams-matchups-watch) AFC: KC +330 BUF +420 CIN +800 LAC +2200 BAL +3500 JAX +5000 MIA +6000 NFC: SF +450 PHI +550 DAL +1300 MIN +3000 TB +3000 SEA +5000 NYG +6000

Well, I am starting to look at our situation positively: 1. We get to play Cincy (if both teams win) at home. 2. We could have avoided Cincy if we were number 1, but then we would have still had to play them in Week 17. So we play them one way or another. 3. We don't get the bye, but we had our bye last week. 4. We could have lost to Cincy in Week 17, so playing KC at a neutral site might be a good thing. 5. Not getting a bye now means we don't lose rhythm. We have won 7 in a row.

It's actually a common NFL celebration. I think the Pittsburgh guy was just clueless. Don't think he did it on purpose, or as a tribute.

Yeah, the last time we drafted an offensive player on Day One (besides Josh) was in 2014, with Sammy Watkins.

In Buffalo. Only if Buffalo and KC meet in the championship game will there be a neutral field. (And Baltimore will be playing at Cincy next week, with no coin flip needed (due to records)).

"Buffalo Bills Biggest needs: OL, WR, LB EE [Eric Edholm]: The interior of the offensive line is an area we could absolutely see the Bills wanting to upgrade this offseason, both in terms of talent and depth. But will they use the draft to try to do that? Since GM Brandon Beane has taken over, they’ve not used a Day 1 or 2 pick on a projected guard or center. (2019 second-rounder Cody Ford was tried first at right tackle before being moved inside.)"

Yeah, the NFL Network version and DirecTV's own version. I found this on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_RedZone "NFL RedZone (stylized as NFL RedZone from NFL Network) is an American sports television channel owned and operated by NFL Network since 2009. As a "special" game-day exclusive, it broadcasts on Sundays during the NFL regular season from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern (10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific), or when the last afternoon window game ends. RedZone provides "whip around" simulcast coverage of all Sunday afternoon games airing in-progress on CBS and Fox. RedZone is based out of the NFL Network studios and is hosted by Scott Hanson,[1] and airs commercial-free. ' RedZone is offered by numerous cable providers, Dish Network, and Verizon Wireless smartphones, but specifically is not available on DirecTV, which offers its own version (Red Zone Channel hosted by Andrew Siciliano) as part of NFL Sunday Ticket."

Yeah, no way Nantz and Romo would take the week off for a playoff game. They are the number 1 CBS announcing team.

1. Chicago (3-14) 2. Houston (3-13-1) 3. Arizona (4-13) 4. Indianapolis (4-12-1) 5. Seattle (from Denver 5-12, SOS .481) 6. Detroit (from LA Rams 5-12, SOS .517) 7. Las Vegas (6-11) 8.

Kansas City (14-3) Notes: First tie breaker is strength of schedule (SOS). (The team with the lower SOS will draft before the team with the higher one.) The draft order of the remaining 14 8 4 2 teams will be determined by playoff finish. Miami has forfeited its 2023 first-round pick.

I wonder who will be named AFC special teams player of the week?

You know, I've done the same thing too. No need to apologize. I also don't think you can search for tweets in the search function, which I posted. Plus, there are so many posts and threads about this.

This was also being discussed yesterday here:

I agree we might have to go abroad. But we did give up a home game by going to Detroit (but we also lost an away game too at Cincy). So we had 7 home games, 8 road, and 1 neutral. I think there is a good chance the NFL feels sorry for us due to that and the whole Damar thing, that we get 9 true home games next year. Cincy too, since they had 7 home games and 9 road games this year.

Not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but: From the article: "As the Bengals prepared to continue to play, it eventually became obvious that would not happen. At least one player heard Bills coach Sean McDermott say that the Bills would not continue, even if it meant forfeiting the game. The Bengals were willing to accommodate the Bills. One player heard Bengals coach Zac Taylor offer to resume the game on Tuesday. Bengals players generally accepted the prospect of a one-day delay. But then the Bills left Cincinnati. Multiple Bengals players were confused by that development as it occurred. On one hand, they were sensitive to the situation involving Damar Hamlin. On the other hand, they fully realized the stakes of the game. They wanted to get it played. [...] Regardless, the truth is that the Bengals initially were told play would indeed resume by the officials responsible for the game. The truth also seems to be that, if the Bengals had known the game wouldn’t be finished at all and that the rules would later change to make it harder for them to realize a favorable playoff seed, they wouldn’t have been quite as accommodating of the Bills."

The good thing is we play nine games at home.
