    Bills to beat the Chiefs. Kansas are still scrapping by and I think the Bills have too much firepower to let them off the hook here. Limited prep time for Mahomes and the concussion will have to play on his mind a little especially if he decides to run the ball. I can see him being more cautious than usual.

    Packers to get it done v the Bucs. Big shock to the system to come from Tampa where its 20C plus and also playing in the shelter of the superdome to playing in the mind numbing cold of Lambeauand a 40C swing. The Bucs can't push up the secondary like they did against Brees as Rodgers will go over the top all day and he won't throw interceptions like Brees either. Packers have already dominated a much better defence in the Rams so expect them to do the same again here.

    Hows his toe, he wasn't moving too well the last day.

    He was diagnosed with turf toe so he will just have to play through the pain but Mahomes has said "The next day was very sore, and every single day since then it's gotten a lot better."

    Went 2-2 last week to leave me at 6-4 for the playoffs and 176-90 overall.

    Buccaneers @ Packers
    Bills @ Chiefs

    Buccaneers @ Packers - Packers to make the Bucs pick their poison on what they focus on defending and Rodgers to put on an absolute clinic.

    Bills @ Chiefs - I feel the same way about this one as I did for the Rams v Seahawks, my head is telling me that the Bills will give it a game and potentially shock the Chiefs, especially if Mahomes isn't 100%. However, my QB PTSD has kicked in again and I just can't pick against Mahomes.

    Hoping for a good game, but think the Packers will win this easily.

    Packers better manufacture a pass rush, first 4 attempts have been very comfortable for Brady.

    Those three third down throws from Brady were beautiful, especially the two to Evans.

    Still can't fathom why the Packers picked a QB in the first round with 4 years to go on Rodgers contract.

    (Reminds me of the time the Broncos selected Tommy Maddox in the first round in the prime of John Elway's career when we desperately need some OL help)

    .... Did well to hang on to that ball... Fumble would be a disaster there.

    I have to admit, I can enjoy watching Tom Brady a lot more now that he doesn't play for the Patriots.

    Buccs are Rollin.

    What a back breaker of a 3rd down conversion.

    Good hold by the packers there but Brady is getting loads of time and even at 43 his arm is still good. The packers need to get a score on this upcoming drive and their D needs to start putting pressure on Brady.

    Good 3rd down for the Packers.

    Thought the Buccs would suffer without Winfield but if they can keep up this pressure they could do very well

    Great throw/catch. Huge play for the game.

    Didn't want to be punting from your end zone there.

    Didn't look like the Packers got that third down off before the play clock ran out.

    Is there a discrepancy between what we see on the screen clock and the stadium?

    It happens quite a lot where the screen clock hits zero, the C gets the snap off after time expires but it rarely seems to get called.

    Throw by Rodgers was a thing of beauty

    The practice is that the Ref waits until the clock hits zero before looking to see if they snapped the ball. They're effectively allowed to snap on 0. Rodgers has had to deal with this already this year!

    It's his pliability!



    That Arians quote being thrown around so much is exactly why Belichick says nothing to the media.
