Sunday Afternoon Playoff thread

Submitted by Gobgoblue on January 4th, 2015 at 12:51 PM

Cincinatti goes to Indy at 1:05 EST today to kick things off, then

the Lions visit the Cowboys at 4:40.

As a Lions fan, I don't like our chances. The boys are rolling right now.

My prediction is the Colts and Cowboys move on. Hope I'm wrong on the second one.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone! School doesn't start up again for Mich until Wednesday, so I am sipping on some Sam Adams seasonal beers. Cheers!

Cincinnati.

Go Bengals! Not sure they can overcome all these injuries, time for Dalton to prove his worth.

Pretty pumped for both games today. Obviously the Lions are the marquee, but this warmup game should be fun as well.

Considering Stafford's record on the road against good teams and the Lion's playoff futility, it'll be a huge upset if the people doing the LOLing aren't Dallas fans.

Massey has similar predictions for both games today:

Cincinnati / Indianapolis - 63% win probability for Indianapolis (Colts -3.5, 27-24 predicted score)

Dallas / Detroit - 63% win probability for Dallas (Cowboys -3.5, 23-20 predicted score)

That's the Bengals. The fact that Marvin Lewis still has a job is beyond me. Last year they should have fired him and promoted Zimmer. Now they lost what made their defense so good, and their OC.

I'm waiting for the lions game, watching the colts dominate the bengals, and because of how boring the game has been, I was just thinking about an apparel question. I was just thinking, because of the helmet sticker discussion, does anybody know where I can either get or send a jersey to make it more like a game jersey (b1g patch, legends patch, name plate)

As a Packers fan, I am rooting for the Lions. I would rather see the Pack play the Panthers than the Cowboys. Cowboys are better on the road than at home and their offensive strength is the Packers defensive weakness...running the ball.

Hurrah....touchdown Lions.

Last time we played the Cowboys in the playoffs in Dallas it was 1970 and I was 11 (I remember the game well unfortunately). So we're NOT going to get shut out that's for sure

No sacks (yet) but the pass rush is starting to get home. Which is amazing to me given that the Dallas offensive is apparently the greatest line in the history of offensive lines according to the announcers earlier.
