The "we" are cynical people. Anyone reasonable is expecting a win. Vegas line is -3.5, meaning they don't see it being a FG game.

We win comfortably.
What was the line last week? Oh, yeah. -2.5 so... they expected the Buccaneers to win by roughly a field goal. The Buccaneers lost by 10 and in reality, the game was not even that close.

Yeah, betting lines are SO much a factor in predicting the results.

Another @Bootz take that lacks... well... any common sense.

Gambling lines are basically the best guess at a game's outcome which is arrived at by group consensus. No one is foolish for quoting them as a data point when trying to talk about that consensus.

Vegas opening line was -6, so the general public is down on us…

Jags are out. Steelers & Bills clinch. The AFC playoff teams are set. Only thing to be determined is if Miami or Buffalo win the AFC East.

I'm really surprised the Jags ended up getting eliminated. Just a few short weeks ago, they were gunning for their division's title. Crazy how they imploded.

Only if Miami wins tonight.

If Buffalo wins tonight, Miami will be the 6th seed and will travel to Kansas City.

Such a great matchup coming up now. Jordan Love vs Justin Fields. Hard to find 2 better young QBs.

Packers are fighting for the playoffs, so they should be playing like their postseason has started.

But Chicago is hot. I think they win close.

Low class by the Saints




What's worse is Dennis Allen says he didn't know the team was gonna do this. Players went rogue according to him. So either he's throwing his team under the bus or they don't respect him.

AJ Brown is down. Could be something to keep an eye on if we end up with Philly next week.

You know how I feel about Fields. I think it’s close late and he unravels.

I don't blame them. If you had the choice of playing the Bucs, Rams, Packers, or Seahawks, the Bucs by far are the team you'd want to play.

That said, they want the NFC East and No. 2 seed more.

I said this last week and I continue to say it…Brian Daboll is proving this year more than last year why he is a great coach. All those injuries they’ve dealt with, they’re so weak at WR and OL, and they just have done nothing but compete and play their butts off. They could have packed it in easy like the Patriots and some other teams have, but they are fighting like hell.

Usually the Saturday games are the weaker ones. The Saturday night Peacock game prolly gonna be either us vs Philly or Cle-Hou. My guess is we are first game Saturday at 4:30.

All I needed was the eagles to beat the cardinals or the giants and they’ve lost both.

We should dominate this eagles team

Next time these guys play each other it may be as coordinators not head coaches.

Good thing about this Eagles/Giants game, the Bucs are getting some recent film on Mariota. If Hurts can’t go next week, they need to be ready to his backup.

Saints got their hopes up only to delay the heartbreak. Couldn't happen to a shittier or trashier franchise.
