The Playoff Thread

Bengals - too good an O for the Raiders and that D is no slouch. Possibly the most exciting matchup though.
Bills - QB could well be the difference here and I would definitely go Allen over Jones.
Buccs - Eagles with a chance? Really?
Cowboys - hate to say it, but I can see them being all over Jimmy G like a rash. But likely 1 and done as I can't see them beating the Buccs or GB.
Chiefs - Like the Eagles, the Steelers can't really compete with the Chiefs at their best. 2 great coaches might make it interesting, but 2 very different teams.
Cardinals - maybe I'm going with my heart but I have a feeling. The Rams lost to teams this year they should have beaten (easily?) and this could be one of those games.

i think the Bengals are going to roll the Raiders. The Raiders have been on an emotional roller coaster. Now they have to go on the road and play a cold weather game against a high powered offense. I think they get blown out.

Eagles have a shot if it rains real hard. Weather may be an issue.

KC only plays games by the half. I expect it to be close for a half.

Concur with most of what you said for this weeks games. The one that is most up in the air imo is the Cards/Rams game that could go either way. As for the Cowboys being one and done I think they will be able to take the Bucs. Bucs have taken a massive talent hit over the last few weeks losing their star receiver and his replacement additionally Fournette so far looks iffy to play this week and his back-up is injured too. Don't like the Boys but have put my money on them in my fantasy football playoff leagues (them, GB and the Bengals).

Agree with Cards/Rams it will be interesting. You have two decent QBs but both with major flaws. Murray is great early in the season and then ever year after October he turns into a pumpkin. Stafford has never handled the spotlight well.
