Mike McCarthy is the worst coach in the NFL. How do you call a play like that??!! Can’t wait to hear him trying to explain it. 14 penalties so either you’re coaching them that way or you’re allowing it in practice.

Tony Romo is the worst booth guy I’ve ever heard.. just constant blabbering and giggling and nonsense. Horrible.

If that was a called QB run then somebody should get fired.

They could have taken two shots into the endzone.

If you watched the Cowboys and Chiefs games back to back, you'd see how much better Nantz and Romo are than Michaels and Collinsworth. Tony may talk a bit too much for a color guy, but he is right way more often than not when calling out upcoming plays and penalties.

If I had my druthers, Kevin Harlan and Romo would call every game.

I'm going Bucs, 49ers, and Chiefs today. I don't see Tampa getting past the Divisional Round, but I don't trust Jalen Hurts going on the road this week and it's hard to go against the Brady/Arians combo in a big game. I think the 49ers pull off the only upset this weekend. Deebo Samuel and that running game is such a physical force to take on I'm foreseeing one of those typical game manager performances from Jimmy G where he moves the sticks, plays it safe, and makes a few key plays when he needs to.

For Steelers/Chiefs, it's just too much of a challenge for the Steelers. Not having Stephon Tuitt this year, who is just as good as Cam Heyward, and then losing Alualu, has been a death knell for their run D. Darrel Williams should gash them at times, and Kelce should feast over the middle as the ILBs in pass coverage has been a glaring weakness all year. On the other side of the ball, their offensive scheme is just so bland, predictable, and non-threatening. Hopefully Big Ben goes down guns blazing. For a guy who never gave up on plays and in looking for that crucial big pass down the field that often would turn the tide of a game, which is part of what made the dude such a clutch QB and winner, the super conservative play the past couple of years has been tough to watch. Let him spread the field, call his own plays, and try to make some big plays. That's really the only way the offense has been an actual NFL offense this year when they let him take over in the second half of games.

Naaaaaaaaailed it. Got the Chiefs at -6.5 for the first half spread and -12.5 for the game, which I parlayed with the Bengals winning. Then just had a three team parlay for Bucs, 49ers, Chiefs. I've slayed NFL gambol this year.

When you realize you spent this month's rent on tickets and next month's rent on the Cowboys money line.

He's got that Tyler Herro complete lack of self-awareness look about him. In his mind he's reppin his hood which is some white bedroom community. He thinks his high school detention was "serving time" and he's sagging in the back because in "prison" he wasn't allowed to wear a belt because he's hard like that.

That chain is effing classic. He thinks the hood is the middle class suburbs where he rents a 1200 square foot house from a dude who inherited $800k from his dad and was smart with it.

I think the main issue with this call is that Dak ran too far. If he picks up 10 instead of 17, they get a shot to win the game from a reasonable distance. It's not an awful call - not the best but I have seen worse. It was a fitting end to a game in which the Cowboys beat themselves with a bunch of awful penalties. Green Bay has to be salivating at the fact that they are going to play a Niners team that they already beat on the road this year.

Yep. Romo often predicts plays accurately before they execute. Hence major reason he earns more as a color guy than as an NFL QB.

Romo’s comment about Jimmy G going to the Tom Brady school of sneaks and was 25/25 was classic!

Other guy says says we’ll how hard is it to sneak a foot, Romo replied I wasn’t known for that kind of sneaking around!

LMAO

I'm in the "Romo is annoying" camp. I just don't understand the value of constant predictions. He throws so many out during a game that he's bound to hit on a couple of them. Troy Aikman is a billion times better as a color commentator IMO.

Kellen Moore calls all the plays.

So we got the quarterfinals now.

Let's hear new predictions

Titans vs Bengals
Chiefs vs Bills
Packers vs 49ers
Rams vs Buccaneers

I'd love a Bills/Bengals AFC title game. I still think the Buccaneers are going down this weekend. Will root for them to win the NFC though.

Going with Titans, Bills, Packers, Rams.

Haven't done any handicapping yet but on the surface the only good bet I see is Greenbay at home in 10 deg weather. 49ers have a nice team but they aren't going to beat Rogers & company there. I'll take GB to win and cover.

The two hottest teams are Rams/Bills which are also two of the most mercurial as you never know when the egg is coming.

I’m typically a very negative Bengals fan, but I’ve got a feeling they may just win this weekend. Even if Henry does play, he won’t just step back into being a superstar after so much time off. We’ll see I guess.

Of course my optimism may doom Cincinnati as it’s wise to never be optimistic about the Bengals.

I think the Rams take down the Bucs this week. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they win the NFC.

All four games are toss ups though, which is fun as a fan.

Any team could win or any team could lose this weekend. Good matchups. I think Cincinnati could win if Joe has time to deliver the football because if he does then Cincinnati is going to score a bunch of points.

I like the Bills to beat KC and take advantage of their secondary and Josh Allen will get lose for a few key big runs. They're going to get after Mahomes, too.

I like the Rams over TB. Too much firepower for that suspect TB secondary and they are going to unload on Brady. I think he may get knocked out of this game.

Green Bay is going to roll SF. Only game I am pretty confident in picking this weekend.

Same. I'm not a gambler but if I were, GB seems like the easiest play.

I'm calling it now, Bengals vs 49ers and 49ers winning. What makes it sweeter is that Cris Collinsworth will have to call the game.

I’ve thought a lot about that scenario, and the only thing I can say is…HELL NO!!!

If that happens, I’ll never watch another football game for the rest of my life.

Everyone is fixated on QB play.

Defense travels. I think this is the year that Buffalo exorcises the ghost of Scott Norwood.

I apologize to Bengals fans in advance as my predictions will most certainly be the death knell for Cincy...

Bengals vs Chiefs

Bucs vs Packers

Still going with my original SB pick...

Chiefs 31
Packers 28

Titans to win and cover 3.5 points over the Bengals - on paper this game figures to be a push, but when you look at the rosters you see the Titans getting Henry back with along with a healthy AJ Brown and Julio Jones. The Bengals will be without some pieces on their D line including Ogunjobi which will hurt their pass rush.

The game of the week will be KC vs. Buffalo. Both teams playing well but Buffalo is red hot with the bet defense in the League. I'm going with the Bills here to win and cover.

Green Bay is 18-7 ATS at home the last three years and only failed to cover the spread at home once this year. The Pack gets some key pieces back this week including two former Wildcats Za'Darius Smith, and Randall Cobb, plus their best CB Alexander. The stats show this to be closer than the 6 point GB is laying but the Packers are rested, at home, and it will be colder than a well diggers ***. That's enough for me - Pack by 10.

Tampa's home record is almost perfect only losing once SU and and ATS to New Orleans when their offense failed to show up. These teams evaluate dead even when you consider the home field advantage, but I can easily see the Rams upsetting the Bucks so I'm teasing the line to get the Rams +9

Bruiser of a first half. Burrow getting swarmed back there but they've eeked out 3 FGs. I have a feeling the lack of a TD so far will come back to haunt them in the 4th quarter.
