Why are analysts saying the Packers are favored to win the Super Bowl? That’s not gonna happen, they’re not even playing that great of football, they _barely_ beat some teams with horrible losing records all season. Sure, they have a great winning record, but they’ve struggled/fallen behind barely winning against some of these teams that are not even playoff contenders to begin with.

Yeah, quite a surprise! And the Chiefs have the #2 seed. I see a Ravens-Chiefs AFC title game.

Well, unfortunately the Seahawks did not get any help. While the Saints thrashed the Panthers, the Packer-Lion game was close. If Green Bay had lost, and assuming the Hawks win tonight, the Hawks would have had the #2 seed. Now, with the Packers win, the best they can have is a #3 seed, which means a wild card game in Seattle against the Vikings (whom the Hawks previously beat).
True, but there also should have been a pass interference call. So silly for Seattle to lose it like that, almost as bad as in the super bowl against the patriots.
Well, it’s Black Monday, and as is our wont in Cleveland, we fired our coach. Did it last night, actually.

Freddie needed to be fired long before the end of the season. Cleveland was just a train wreck this year.
NY Giants have fired Shurmur.

Change in New York limited to head coach Pat Shurmur for now
But they are keeping the GM. Isn’t he the one who built the team? I fear the Giants will continue to suck unless they clean house and bring in a proven coach.NY Giants have fired Shurmur.

It looks like the Hawks blew it, with another "denying Marshawn Lynch" scenario. Here is the explanation of what happened when Wilson spiked the ball:

Man, why can't communication issues ever get resolved?
Once again, the Seahawks had Marshawn Lynch and the ball at the 1. Once again, their coaches blew it.
Everything was in place for the fairy-tale to come to fruition in that regular-season finale. Seattle rallied from 12 points down in the fourth quarter, and had a chance to take the lead with 22 seconds to go. Then the...

It has been 10 years since the Patriots had to play in the wildcard round of the playoffs. And they got pummeled by the Ravens 33-14. I'm hoping the Titans can repeat history.
The Titans already beat them this year too.. their offense has improved since then but not very much.. I don’t have high hopes. ?
Tend to agree with you, especially as the game is in Foxborough. However, even if they win, they would face the Chiefs next in Arrowhead, and the Chiefs will prevail in that one.
Surprisingly they held up well against the chiefs, certainly had a chance to win it at the end.
I've always liked the Chiefs, even from their old AFL days. Plus, I think it was cool that when the Seahawks entered the NFL, they were initially in the NFC West for their first year, but from their second year through the 2001 season, they were part of the AFC West (the original AFL West). There were numerous great games with the Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, and Chargers.
Thats what they said last year, Pats walk through them in arrowhead straight to the Super Bowl.
Even if the Pats get past the Chiefs, they will then (most likely) have to play the Ravens in Baltimore. The Ravens are just too good.
Lol, Pats fan here, but this point hopeful.

Theres no doubt Ravens are a beast this year!
The Browns GM is out.

John Dorsey and Browns mutually agree to part ways, Cleveland to search for new GM

This years Patriots have a mediocre Offense at best and no kicking game. You'd be surprised at how dependent they have become on Gostkowski's leg over the years. How many times did Coach BB went for it on 4th down with in FG range because he didn't trust the kicker? When they finally found a reliable kicker in Folk, he got injured soon after.
All the Pats have this year is a great D. But that D faced off against 3 elite QB's (Jackson, Mahomes and Watson) they've been exposed.
