Feels like Vegas isn’t sure to me…Baltimore famously got the one seed and rested starters in 2019 then got absolutely smoked by the 6 seed in their first playoff game also the ravens have historically struggled against pit so I wouldn’t think they’d want to see them in the playoffs. I’d be surprised if the Baltimore starters don’t play a half

That was a low ankle sprain aka a rolled ankle if it was a low grade low ankle sprain. High ankle sprains take a lot longer to heal

Howard got carted off and ruled out…foot injury serious enough to get carted off is gonna be very nagging at minimum

They could…I think it’s 50/50 if Baltimore starters play a half. Rudolph is gonna get smoked by that defense maybe they’ll rest guys all game but that’s a big mistake imo

My best pessimistic guess is no Lamar but the rest of the starters play a half. Baltimore has been burned so many times just being completely flat/out of sorts in the playoffs that I don’t think they’re gonna want to give everyone two weeks off that honestly might make Baltimore tougher lol Lamar seems to have trouble against pit and Huntley is pretty good

That’s not the point…if they rest starters all of week 18 they’re gonna be off two weeks then have to play a playoff team coming off a big first round win Yea we rested starters a half and destroyed them…I think that’s what’s gonna happen to pit too

I think the line would be more pits way if they truly knew. Baltimore does have really seasoned backups though and Huntley is much better than mason rudolph straight up so who knows feels like a ‘could go 3 points either direction when we have more info’ line to me…if the ravens starters play a half I think it’s a pick em

They didn’t have the bye last year…if they were locked in at the 2 it’s probably backups all game but most of your starters not playing for two straight weeks is risky especially for a team that is almost always flat in the playoffs

Miami doesn’t feel like a team defense to me like NE is…they are a bunch of individual guys that specialize in one thing and what they like to do takes a huge hit with Chubb,Phillips,Howard out

Yea the only way that makes sense is if they truly believed they had no shot at the 1 seed If he’s got a hurt throwing shoulder I hope he plays honestly…just cuz a guy is playing doesn’t mean he’s 100%. Shoulder/elbow injuries can really affect touch/accuracy on those middle of the field throws

He’s gotta get them all though that’s why it was such tough odds of that scenario happening in the first place. Still three more perfect picks to go but full props if he nails it of course lol I think that line indicates they don’t know what Baltimore is doing with starters…i think they’ll be playing a half. I wouldn’t want to go into my first playoff game with none of my starters playing for two weeks…no one has more experienced backups than Baltimore I feel like they can absolutely win that game. We absolutely annihilated Miami who was win and in with our starters only playing a half a few years back

It’s still around 95% but the odds they make it on a loss def went down. The big one went our way with Miami losing which kept the division path open but the Seahawks botched clinching this weekend

He def missed throws today and the INT actually annoyed me less than some of the other throws he missed. Safety made a nice play on that pick baiting him into it Feels like the nfl has caught up to nearly everyone’s offense this year 😂

Man parity seems to be in full swing…the 2 and 3 seed both have not looked very good in long stretches no matter who the 2 ends up being

They are guaranteed in the playoffs already…and if they win and we still make the playoffs we are likely gonna see them again I think they see the superbowl as their superbowl tbh lol. They won’t be in a hurry to rush back banged up players with the playoffs already clinched imo

Like it was for the bills early in the season,it’s the players that are injured on the defensive side for them, not the total amount of injuries. They like to get after the passer and play a lot of man and Howard not at 100% and down Chubb and jaelan Phillips really hurts

That was a really bizarre game…we were inches on a few deep shots from Josh goin off for 600+ yards and absolutely destroying them.. down a few pass rushers and possibly a corner i don’t think they can roll with that same gameplan again

I love how they mock other fanbases that complain their sideline is 30 degrees hotter than Miami’s early in the season 😂. Like….thats obviously a massive advantage lol

Miamis entire strength is built around pass rushing specialists and they lost most of their good ones…that NE defense we saw today is significantly better than Miami’s defense if Howard doesn’t play. I don’t even think it’s close the pats play really good team defense while the dolphins depend on winning individual matchups so they’re a lot less plug and play than the pats

Yea I think the nyt playoff simulator isn’t factoring in Baltimore playing starters for a half or more. Still like the ravens chances though tbh

You can’t field a whole team of backups and the Steelers are starting like a 5th string qb talent wise lol I don’t think it’s a sure Steelers win no matter what the ravens decided to do with starters Huntley should’ve beaten the bengals in the playoffs last year

Shakir is lookin pretty good…I feel like Kincaids gotta partly count as a wr to the way they use him too…its been a mixed bag though for sure

That INT was a little more nuanced than you’re makin it sound. The safety ran with the post route to bait Josh into takin the deep route down the sideline then peeled off the post route. It was a nice play by tje defender The broadcast angle always fools everybody lol just cuz a guy looks open on tv doesn’t mean you can get him the ball

The phins message boards are goin off on McDaniel lol

Even if they were playing for nothing which is not really true the chiefs have been struggling for awhile and would likely want to enter the playoffs on a high note Seemed like they cleaned it up in the second half a bit…if we had connected on that deep shot that’s a completely different game. We didn’t hit our big play and NE hit a ridiculous throw and catch
