I'm just happy my bets clean up. Had big ones for NO +5.5 and Brees -0.5 > Keenum fantasy scoring.

Lol Marcus Williams not only missed his tackle, he took out the only other guy with a chance. He probably shouldn't ever show his face in NOLA ever again, what an embarrassment.

He also had a good rookie year including an interception earlier in the game

This has never actually happened, unless you count last year against a decent Dolphins game where Ben got hurt in what I believe was the third quarter but okay whatever you say. They also don't play down to opponents in the playoffs but sure.
DeCastro said after the game that this was absolutely an issue the team has, by the way. He seemed pretty upset about it to me, and Tomlin's approach encourages it. Tomlin and his staff arguably blew yet another game with questionable decisions and a seeming lack of preparedness at key moments of the game, particularly at the end of the halves. Honestly, I think at some point you have to consider whether he's getting the most out of the talent he's got. I think he's an anchor around the neck of the team, and if I was Steeler ownership, I'd at least consider replacing him. Also, what the fuck was with that spit on his beard, there was a gob of it clearly visible for at least the whole second half.

while arguably being one of the worst mistakes made in the playoffs, it happens man. the rookie was having a good season, and it's a shame it had to end like that. i'm not gonna hold it against him if even his team isn't going to hold it against him, and i'm curious to see how he progresses from there.

NFC games were quite entertaining
Also really happy with the Iggles D holding Atlanta to 10 even with the turnovers
that is impressive

Really wondering how Minnesota v. Philly will work

I'd take the Vikings in a close one, personally. The defence is a step above and Keenum > Foles makes the difference for me.

I can't pick the Pats game. My head says the Pats are a better, more versatile team with more experienced and with better coaches who won't choke the game away. My pessimist, paranoid heart is periodically screaming "JAGS WIN JAG WIN JAGS WIN". Basically, I'm living in a perpetual state of BORTORTLEphobia, and that's not a healthy place to be right now.

I like MIN -2.5 and u38.5, but NEvJAX is interesting. I think its very close or NE just wins in an absolute blowout. May just hedge bets and do JAX outright and NE -13.5 because I think that should hit about half the time.

I'm just glad I got my NO bet right in a completely wrong scenario. I was assuming MIN up by about 10 late, Brees just drives for a 2 minute drill TD to cover the spread. Not MIN wins on a miracle play.

I'm surprised the NFL hasn't announced it's investigating the end of the Vikings/Saints game because of the kneel down on the extra point at the end, to be honest. After all, it made a significant difference to the fate of hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars worth of bets, and people have been convicted of fixing much smaller things in other sports. It's the kind of decision that warrants some kind of check that it's on the up and up. Also, Goodell hasn't come down hard on someone without evidence or justification recently, and this seems the perfect opportunity to wrongly screw someone.

This seems completely reasonable tbh. I hadn't thought about it before, but that kneel could definitely have been dirty
