Opening as 7.5 point favorites on DraftKings.

I know people will disagree with this but I'd rather play the Seahawks in round 1 than the Packers. But the 2 seed obviously could get you an extra home game. Seahawks and Niners are more likely than the Rams if the Eagles get the 3 seed because the Rams are not likely to lose to the Falcons or Cardinals.

So it looks like the only way the Rams play the eagles if the niners get the one seed, the bears get the two seed and the Rams lose one of the last 2 against the Falcons and the cardinals making them the six seed. I still think number 2 for us is in play :)

If Darnold doesn’t play like Darnold SEA will beat SF

Starters shouldnt play next week, no way Lions go to Chicago and beats the Bears...

Losing and getting outplayed by Shedeur and Snoop in back-to-back weeks to miss the playoffs they had all but sewn up would be a grand way for Rodgers’ career to end.

Oh no! The players will have to play!

As they should. The O has been resting for most of the second half anyways. Its not like they need more rest :)

Tomlin would be finished too.

But but no losing season for Tomlin :)

The Lions and their center problem is a huge deal...Gibbs have been absolutely mediocre since the center position became a problem

Yup. I’d add lions have lost 4 of 5. Lost 6 of their last 9. Only wins coming against Dallas, commanders and giants. And they barely beat the giants in OT. I’d say maybe they have an offensive outburst like vs. rams but that game was indoors and lions defense has given up 30 ppg over their last 6 games

I think they have a chance after thier debacle against Min. Campbell seems like a guy who will get his team to go there and compete.

But the offense does this to my eyes

well..the loser of the Seattle-Niners game likely gets the #6 seed and likely plays the Eagles in Philly with an extra day rest could be even worse if the Eagles draw the Saturday game...I am in favor of resting players as much as I want #2...I don't trust the Lions

To me rest and 3 seed is a better outcome than no rest and the 2 seed.

Eh i think the bears are going to put up points. The lions have lost 4 of 5. Given up 31 ppg in the process. Not sure even with a bad bears defense that Goff doesn’t turn it over and that the lions score enough to overcome their defense that’ll give up a lot

Eagles need to start getting the ball in the 2nd half more. 2nd half is when the offense typically completely falls off a cliff. Whatever they can do to facilitate some level of productivity in the final 30:00.

I give credit to Kellen Moore. Didn’t see the saints remotely winning 6 games. They potentially have a chance shot at 7 if they beat Atlanta next week. That’s way more wins than i saw. Heck of a coaching job

Yeah. Im on the fence if we should rest starters or not. I mean fpe example if we rest Jalen for a week would his performance suddenly get better. The game after the bye against the Packers we scored 10 points. I say let them play for a half and see how the game is going and take a peek at the Lions/ Bears game to plan the second half.

They are playing hard for sure. Shough seems to be the best rookie QB :)

Tbh I am more worried about somebody getting hurt than if their performance is going to be better for the WC by playing next week. At this point, I think they are what they are. If they go on a run and they start scoring ball, then good on them. But nothing has shown me all season that the offense will start being consistent with rest or not. Sadly i think the offense is what it is this year. Just gotta hope we can squeeze out enough points. Imo if we get to 24 points each game i think we probably can win the Super Bowl with how good the defense can be

BTW last years QB draft class of Williams, Maye and Nix have a combined record of 37 and 11. That is crazy. Who thought Daniels would be the odd man out after last year.
