Trying not to get my hopes up, but the Falcons look pretty good so far today.

[GeorgiaModerate]

After the early games, three people (Donerail, nclib, and Terry) are 7-1, with five others at 6-2.

[GeorgiaModerate]

The Raiders and Buffalo and Ravens are gonna be out by of Playoffs

I am so anxious for Packers v Bears and Rams v Cards, these are the upsets I think is gonna hold

But who would of thought Carolina would lose to Saints

Absolutely nobody.  They weren't playing today.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Terrible no-call despite obvious PI (or at least defensive holding) in the end zone on the Bills' final drive.  They've just kicked a FG to tie it with 22 seconds left.

[GeorgiaModerate]

With the day games complete, nclib leads at 11-1, with Donerail and Terry at 10-2.

From 538: Are The Falcons The Best Bad Team Ever?

[GeorgiaModerate]

Has there ever been a game with more first-and-goal chances that ended with no points?

[GeorgiaModerate]

This game hasn't been a thing of beauty, but it's been wildly entertaining.

[GeorgiaModerate]

OT for both teams

It would be tricky to have OT for only one team.

[GeorgiaModerate]

Switching my pick in Ravens-Packers to the Packers.

Ah ha Cards are losing if Cards lose and Rams win they're tied for Division Cards are down 10/0 to DTW

Yep.  They are in fact losing to an airport!

That's what happens if they don't defend well when the opponent airs it out.

[GeorgiaModerate]

I know the usuals aren't responding because the Cards are losing, ever since Stephen Curry and Durant hooked up and we won those two titles in one years East Coasters love to dislike Cali and LA teams

Did the Cards move to California while we weren't looking?

With the day games completed, JGibson and S019 lead at 9-2, with three people at 8-3.

The same thing that usually happens when a bad team plays a good one.
