Went 3-3. Not bad.
The predicted implosion of the Eagles came to pass. The DBs could neither cover nor tackle. And Tampa, who could only muster 9 points against the woeful Carolina defense, dropped 32 points on them. Meanwhile, the offense could not counter the Tampa blitz and went the whole second half without scoring a single point. And with that, heads are going to roll in Philadelphia. Weather that includes HC Siriani remains to be seen.
The mauling of the Cowboys by the Packers in Dallas was the most shocking result of the wild card round. Packers QB Jordan Love was like the second coming of Tom Brady while Cowboys QB Dak Prescott proved he cannot handle presssure. HC Mike McCarthy is going to leave by "mutual consent". Remember Packers CB Jaire Alexander, who barged in on the coin toss in Carolina and was suspended a game? He came up with a clutch interception to prove his worth
Congratulations to the Lions for winning their first playoff game in 32 years. And cheers to QB Jared Goff for delivering when it mattered. HC Dan Campbell has the team believing and the Lions on the prowl are dangerous

In other news, Bill Belichick interviewed for the vacant HC position at Atlanta Falcons. I dont know why but one name should serve as a red flag. And that is Patriots QB Mac Jones. He set the NCAA records for passer rating and completion percentage at Alabama and won the CFP in 2021. He was selected by the Patriots with the 15th pick in 2021. He had a successful rookie season, leading the Patriots to a playoff berth and earning Pro Bowl honors. He has been a bust ever since. If Bill Belichick could not make a success out of the stud Mac Jones, why on earth does anyone think he would succeed with another QB, which is what Atlanta desparately needs. Belichick made Tom Brady and Tom Brady made Belichick. Thats it and not to be duplicated.
Speaking of Belichick, his two sons Steve and Brian are coaches with the Patriots. Steve coaches linebackers and Brian coaches safeties. Blatant nepotism. Patriots asked both of them to stay. Shall see what happens.
My Heart wants...
AFC
1. Houston Texans beats Baltimore Ravens
2. Kansas City Chiefs fold and lose to Buffalo Bills
NFC
1. Green Bay Packers annihilates San Francisco 49ers
2. Tampa Bay Bucs freeze and fall to Detroit Lions
My Head says...
AFC
1. Houston Texans is beaten badly by the Baltimore Ravens
2. Kansas City Chiefs win in a close one over the Buffalo Bills
NFC
1. Green Bay Packers is annihilated by San Francisco 49ers
2. Tampa Bay Bucs take out the one and done Detroit Lions
I like;
Baltimore, hard to bet against them.
Buffalo because Allen seemed to realize last game that forcing it causes turnovers. He plays smart and takes what's given and they win.
Detroit, Tampa's good season ends.
San Fran but I think it will be closer than people think.

Got these right: Buffalo, KC, Tampa.
Got these wrong: Houston, Green Bay, Detroit.
Predictions for the weekend winners: Baltimore, KC, SF, Detroit.

1. Houston lost at Baltimore in Week 1 25-9. And even though CJ Stroud has improved considerably, it will not be enough. Baltimore signed RB Dalvin Cook and looks like TE Mark Andrews is going to play. Baltimore win
2. The Bills won 20-17 at KC in Week 14. This is the game when a sensational shuffle pass by Kelce was negated by offside Toney penalty. Kelce seems distracted by Taylor Swift and not firing on all cylinders. Bills win
3. The most lopsided game will be 4ers laying a beating on the Packers. Brock Purdy not getting enough credit but he has been sensational. Together with CMC, Deebo, Kittle, 49ers just too strong
4. Lions won 20-6 at Tampa in Week 6. But Tampa defense is playing awesome while Lions defense not that great. Baker Mayfield to Mike Evans will register an upset against the Lions
Raiders beating Chiefs at Arrowhead sealed it. So as predicted, the interim tag has been removed from Antonio Pierce by the Raiders. He has been confirmed as the new HC 
SU.
Spread...I have not bet on FB for a couple of years but if I was to guess:
* Hou +9.5
* GB +10
* Det -6
* Bills -2,5
