    Smith gone when the season is up either way it seems, fans hsvr no love for him at all. It will be gas next year with that rookie posting average numbers and Smith doing what he does at Cardinals or Washington or maybe Minnesota.

    I don't know what the fans find so unlovable about Smith.

    Too many check downs. Rarely airs it out. That maybe Reid and play calling. When he was throwing deep earlier in year he looked MVP standard, but then reverted to what he's been.doing for years.
    Mahomes could be great, but needs a year and patience.

    Will be a bit of qb turnover this year. Cousins to cardinals is my bet

    He's thrown out some massive plays already tonight, I don't think it's his call on the plays, he's got all the skills to make the big plays but Kansas play a conservative game.

    Cousins to Cardinals a good call, wouldn't be surprised at all.

    Titans are so poor. Blow out here.

    Unbelievable turnaround! Kansas collapsed since end of first half.

    Maybe the chiefs should bring back Montana. Got that wrong.

    I fancied falcons to upset Rams, but clearly that won't happen now

    Falcons were never really in trouble. Happy enough with my pre season ew punt on them now. That’s 7 wins in last 9. Expect them to take care of Eagles and then think it could Be the Saints.

    Still alive with smaller punts on Steelers and Jags for SB.

    Ha I'd backed falcons but assumed I'd lose after the chiefs debacle.

    Panthers saints could be interesting. Jags should easily dispose of Bills.

    Jags defence should tear Bills apart, can't see them coping with them at all. The debacle of Nathan Peterman earlier on in the season still bugs me.

    Panthers and Saints could be a great game, Saints have been going very nicely on offence but Panthers so hit and miss. They've beat the Pats in regular season but gotten wiped out by the Saints twice too.

    I really like panthers run D. I know Kamara has 3 TDs v Panthers and Ingram 1 but total yards conceded over both games hasn't been massive. That's said saints have ability to air it out and that's where I think panthers could be most vulnerable. Maybe Kamara will do some damage catching out of the backfield. But I think this will be closer than the 2 regular season games.

    Awful game. Both D's very good here, but offences are poor.

    Next game should be worth watching though....

    Waiting all weekend for this next one! Should be a cracker.

    Jacksonville could beat Pittsburgh next week.

    Well we saw what happened last time jags went to Pittsburgh. Should be interesting.

    Yeah, saints had better of last 2 games....but I've a hunch panthers could do it.

    Saints panthers lived up to expectations anyway.
    Very good wildcard weekend. All games competitive. Lining up for 3 good games next week too.
    Pats titans the 1:30 am game Saturday, so no harm missing that. Can't see it being remotely competitive

    Anyone here use Draft Kings. Dabbled in it a bit this season as first years it’s available in Ireland.

    Did well over the wild card weekend.

    Some of then entry fees are mental

    Was delighted when saw that was the late Sat game, as I'm fucking wrecked here today after watching them all weekend!

    AFC looking rather lopsided. Steelers opened -6.5 see out to a more like it -7.5 now. Pats -13.5.

    Falcons fav in Philly (all last week looked at 12/1 NFC Falcons, didn't - doh) and Saints getting 4 in Minny in what should again be best game of weekend late Sunday.
