    Hoping for Packers Chiefs SB, but I don't anticipate it.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    Obviously State Farm paid more than the Ravens did.

    They sure did and the Titans pounded them. I never understand why teams do this, especially against a division rival that you may see again in the playoffs. If they wouldn't have choked yesterday, they would be playing them again next week.

    If SF's defense is as stout against Rodgers as they were against Cousins, the Pack don't stand a chance.

    Cousins is no Roger's. Seahawks pass defense is a sieve. Every QB they've played this year have had respectable, if not stellar, outings. Rogers will have to play his best game of the year against SF this weekend.

    Thing about that was the cgi line was a little off so he may have actually gotten it. Would have been just a couple of inches if he really didn't and that should have been an easy pick up.

    Funny enough though, the 2000 Titans were the class of the NFL that year and looked poised to return to the Superbowl but unfortunately their kryptonite was the Ravens.
    The 2000 Ravens never had to deal with an offense like the Lamar offense, although the Lamar offense was weakened by the injury to Ingram. The 2000 Ravens offense was underrated. Dilfer was the ideal quarterback for deterministic muscle football, based on running and defense.

    Ed, you pointed out the 4th down stupidity of the Ravens. I think that this is what happened when overrated sports analysis has too much input. So the Ravens characterized the probability of 4th down success, however the decision problem is more appropriately modeled as a Risk problem. Risk = Probability of success times benefit of success - probability of failure * cost of turnover. Clearly even if prob. of success > prob. of failure, the cost of failure is too high if the opponent is strong. The better the opponent is, the more risk. I know this is simplistic, but apparently not as stupid simple as the decision process employed by the Ravens’ coaches.

    I looked at the stats of that game and either Harbaugh is the dumbest fucking coach to coach in the NFL or someone paid them to lose. Their game plan was exactly the opposite of what it would take to win the game. The Ravens have a running quarterback and they have him pass the ball 59 times. The Ravens have a back almost as big and just as powerful as Henry and they run him 3 times for 20 yards and never use him again. The Titans were ranked 16th on run defense, so you run the ball, run the ball and run the ball. Something really doesn't seem right the way the Ravens approached this game. If they run the ball they easily win this game.

    Well Maryland is big on casinos and sports betting. Just think how many people bet on the Ravens and how much money they lost. Maryland is hurting because they have scared people out of there. The casino money could go a long way in the short term. However, the Ravens should be able to come back provided they haven’t pawned the farm to buy free agents.

    I thought Jackson totally regressed to the QB who couldn't hit the side of a barn. Maybe just a case of having a bad game at the worse possible time.

    Picks:

    Niners- 24
    Packers- 21

    Chiefs- 35
    Titans-21
    (after the Chiefs spot them all 21 pts in the first half, of course...)

    So you run the ball, not make him pass it 59 times. Something just doesn't seem right with that game.

    Lamar set a record in that game for the combination of yards passed and yards run. It’s the turnovers, 4th down, and 2 point decisions that were bad. Lamar made some great passes and runs. But the dropped passes were terrible.

    I thought it was a combination of poor passes and WR drops.

    I'll go with Packers & Chiefs for the SB as I couldn't bear the 49er fans if they win.

    I expect that Niners/Packers tilt to be a heavyweight battle. As far as who I am rooting for in the remaining teams? Anybody but the Chefs...

    precisely!
    key dropped passes that Lamar put right on the money

    It's gonna kill Scott Bails and Philly fans if Andy Reid wins the Super Bowl.

    Ah, but you have never suffered the self-righteous, inflated, sanctimonious attitude of Packers fans living outside of Wisconsin. I've known many and every single one of them is unbearable when it comes to their beloved Packers.

    I guess I'm remembering a few where he sailed it over open receivers. I'll admit that after a full day's work and a few pints, some of that game is a little hazy in my memory...

    I'm not sayin he didnt miss some throws... I'm saying the 3rd down dropped passes that were thrown on the money cost them the game
