Any hope in hell that any teams advancing from the WC wins their next game?

I'd say all of the teams who advanced except the Eagles have a legitimate shot to win their next game.

All of them should have a shot. Chiefs D is terrible so it could be one of those games where it comes down to who has it last. Rams D isn't great and the Cowboys D is good and Rams didn't look great the last month. Chargers might be the most complete team left. Eagles have something divine going on with Foles, and they will probably need something miraculous in the Dome.

Looking at tickets on the secondary market, the Cowboys factor is real. My initial drunken New Year's Day at 4am purchase somehow didn't take, I just got em last night like 5min after the Parkey miss. I noticed they kept climbing throughout the day Sunday so I panicked and jumped on em, thinking that trend would continue...then like an hour after I got them the secondary market plummeted, basically I could've gotten way better seats for almost half the price had I waited just a little more, I'm a bit chapped about that haha..I'm guessing when I did it the market hadn't had enough time yet to adjust to the fact it wasn't the Cowboys coming, which was probably expected after beating Seattle, given the prices.

Meanwhile, tickets to Rams/Cowboys on the secondary market now start at $300 US; nearly double what they currently start at for Saints/Eagles. Cowboys Nation, man..

Well, the Cowboys are not going to get the benefit of the stupidest and most predictable offensive game plan in recent memory with McVay, so there's that. Two days later I'm actually astonished at Schottenheimer's ineptitude. A gift to
the Cowboys really. Wilson went 5/7 @ 23.7 yards/attempt on passes over 15 yards and the OC didn't see a trend. Amazing.

I'm actually shocked that Schottenheimer still gets work in the NFL. He's been awful at almost every stop in his career.

Very surprising hire to me as he really didn't make the Titans offense any better as they were ranked 25th overall in offense and 29th in passing. Part of that is due to a QB that's limited in Mariota but still not great. Also he's only got a couple years of experience as a coordinator. I'm sure Packers fans were hoping for a bigger name but Doug Pedersen was seen as an underwhelming hire at the time and Frank Reich was kind of an afterthought last year. As always time will tell.

Saints looked just okay the last 5 weeks of the season IMO.

They should still be favorites but I don't think I would be shocked if the Eagles won somehow.

It's just a bad match-up on paper because the areas that the Saints excel at are areas where the Eagles have been struggling.

Yikes, that's not a great hire, signed a Titans fan.

Yeah, I'm not really sure what the Packers saw in Lafleur's season this year to make them think he was the guy but we'll see. Going from Mariota to Rodgers is obviously a massive upgrade.

Unfortunately it sounds like Rogers is part of the problem. I listen to Sirius NFL radio and Ross Tucker and David Deihl were discussing the Mercedes Lewis interview (story below) and both being former players they were very disturbed that Rogers would behave like this.

https://www.businessinsider.com/aaro...packers-2019-1

What happens if Lafleur's offense sputters? If that's how Rogers treats a veteran head coach what's going to happen with a guy like Lafleur? It's too bad because I've always been a fan of Rogers but it does sound like he's turned into quit the diva.

Sometimes you throw the match up aside in favor of history. I present....

1995 Colts beat top seeded Chiefs 10-7 in Arrowhead.
2004 Colts beat 2nd seed Chiefs 38-31 in Arrowhead.
2007 Colts beat 6th seed Chiefs 23-8 in Indy.
2011 Colts beat 5th seed Chiefs 45-44 in Indy.

3 of these were crushing. Lin Elliot missed field goal and Lake Dawson dropped winning TD. Great offence can't stop the Colts on defence and Priest Holmes only fumble all year. 31-10 half time lead......

I hate Irsay... his stupid team crushes my soul every so often.

Colts will win this game. Probably by a score of 42-41...Chiefs will miss an extra point to lose.

But Colts moneylline...I'll bet enough to win a trip to Vegas out of this.

Yeah I hate to say it Syl, but that's how I see it going down as well. Either way should be a super fun game to watch (as an impartial fan of course), I'm fired up for that one.

As long as the Pats lose it will be a successful weekend in my book.

I'm hoping for the Eagles because it would be funny for Foles to go back.

I'm expecting though:

Chargers v Indy
Rams v Saints

For the conference.
