NFL Wildcard Round (2024)

Sosayusall finishes strong to take the final gold medal podium spot of the regular season, leapfrogging to within two points of first place sweathog in the season points race while simultaneously holding down dead ass last in total wins. Impressive performance from a strategic, anti-windy approach to the game. Hats off to you, sir.

Wildcard Weekend:

Notables:

  • Favored team wins are worth 2 points, underdogs are worth 4
  • No 5 or 3 point dog games in the playoffs given the escalating point structure
  • as seen on Twitter: NFL scriptwriters sending Tyreek Hill back to Kansas City, Matt Stafford back to Detroit, Packers to Dallas to face off against Mike McCarthy, and Texans to Cleveland to face off against the team they traded Deshaun Watson to all for just the opening round of the playoffs

It’s snowing in Kansas City as we speak and is supposed to snow throughout the week. It will be in single digits on Saturday night and the windchill will make it even colder. I’m wondering how much I can get for my tickets.

I REALLY hope Miami shows up and trounces KC at home. Give that whiny arse Mahomes something to legitimately whine about.

I read today that a #7 seed has never won in the playoffs. I’d love to see that streak end in Buffalo but I suspect everyone is on the right track with their Bills and Cowboys picks.

I’ll give 3 bucks each!

Thought about sabotaging sweathog, like I did DaveC last week (sorry). But I’ll just go with some wack picks.

We’re getting rid of Fields?

The wind chill in KC Saturday night will be “dangerously cold,” per the National Weather Service.

It is expected to be a wind chill of NEGATIVE 30 DEGREES.

I don’t know how you play football in those conditions. Or sit in the stands.

Rumor is that the Steelers-Bills game may be moved to Cleveland given the projected snowfall. Could be an interesting wildcard weekend.

I wonder what the liability (real or just PR) might be to the NFL or Chiefs if a spectator or player suffers from significant hypothermia related medical issues.
