I’m not upset about this. Seems to be a fair even crew. doesn’t mean it’ll help us, it is a money league after all and nobody on our team hangs with jake from state farm.

Here is what I found, he officiated Bucs/Panthers division title game last week:
Brad Rogers is the head referee for the Bucs vs Panthers Week 17 game. Let’s break down how Rogers may impact this game and betting markets.
How does Brad Rogers Impact this Game?
The NFC South winner could be determined on Sunday in Tampa and at first glance, a low-scoring contest is the obvious conclusion. However, with Brad Rogers officiating, the foundation is there for this game to have some penalties that can assist both offenses and the game being higher scoring than anticipated.
Defensive Pass Interference/Roughing the Passer/Offensive Holding
** Brad Rogers ranks third in the NFL calling roughing the passer penalties. The Carolina Panthers are tied with the Jets as the second-most penalized team in the NFL in this key category.*
** Brad Rogers is tied with Shawn Smith in calling the third-most defensive pass interference penalties in 2022. The Panthers are ranked in the top 10 most penalized in this category.*
** The Bucs have struggled with offensive holding in 2022. The good news here is Brad Rogers ranks in the bottom third of all referees calling this penalty.*
** The penalty category Rogers leads the NFL in is ineligible downfield passes. The Panthers are tied in a group of teams ranked second in this penalty category.*
The Bottom Line:
** Brad Rogers is in his fourth season as a head referee. He’s officiated exactly one full regular season of divisional games, with 17 total. In those 17 contests, Rogers is 13-4 to the Over (77%).*
Watching Tampa Bay this season doesn’t inspire confidence in taking over the total. The fact is, it’s an ideal officiating crew for the Bucs. The Panthers struggle in categories that are a point of emphasis for Brad Rogers. The Bucs offense has the opportunity with this crew to cash in on some defensive penalties if they air it out. The Bucs have to be considered as a play with the penalty emphasis slanted heavily against the Panthers. However, Rogers’s impressive over record in divisional games is impossible to ignore. With that in mind, the play is Bucs vs Panthers over 39.5 points.
quick question… What if Seattle loses and we tie Green Bay? and Washington loses to Dallas so they aren’t 8-8-1. We have identical conference records but we are better in division.
This is the head official for Rams v Seahawks:
As of Dec 10th they threw the 2nd fewest flags in the league.
Jake from State Farm is going to be dumping ARag shortly and begging MCDC to take his calls.

The 3rd most defensive pass interference penalties, and bottom third on offensive holding does not sound good for us.
Negate our rookie pass rushers and help errin’s receivers.
That’s usually the way it goes in Lambeau.
Oh boy, the game day thread is going to be blowing up about this all night. Hutch is getting held! Throw the flag! This game is rigged! I actually think it’s to the Lions advantage if they let the OL maul people. Goff needs time in the pocket and the Lions need their run game cooking to win IMO.
Tiebreakers at that point are cage matches between coaches.

Change it to head coaches and Lafleur will wear glasses and a dress, hoping Campbell won’t hit someone with glasses or a woman.

As someone said up top, we also need to know the Rams/Seattle ref Craig Wrolstad. It appears that the league average for refs is 55% home wins but Craig’s games have a 40% win rate for the home team.
Here is his body of work so far this season:

At the moment, I’m feeling like I’ll watch both the Rams game and our game dispassionately. Whatever the results are, I’m fully sold on the right direction under this regime. That won’t change with the vagaries of one ugly outcome late on Sunday. Also, I’m cognizant of the lucrative possibilities for the draft at #5OA which disappear when drafting lower.
If the Rams win, that detached reserve will go out the window in a heartbeat of course.

Lions would go since we beat the Pack in the 1st contest. Head to Head in 2 way tie is 1st tie breaker

Don’t think that matters, I think it’s the points or conference record that is 1st tie breaker.

NFL wild card tiebreakers
The NFL wild card has a propensity to get a bit more chaotic. More teams can be involved, and they aren’t all playing a pool of three teams. That means the tiebreakers have to be a bit more elaborate to account for the potential chaos.

So why aren’t articles talking about the Lions prospects saying a Seattle loss and a Lions win or Tie in Green Bay?

First this is the tiebreaker for conference ties. Division ties have the division record as the 2nd tie breaker. So as follows: (If the Lions and Packers tie on Sunday)
- Head-to-head, if applicable. (Lions win)
- Best winning percentage in Division games. (Lions win with 4/1/1 while Pack has 3/2/1)
- Best winning percentage in conference games. (Tied)
- Best winning percentage against shared opponents, minimum of four. (Tied)
- Strength of victory. (No clue)
“Third-most roughing the passer calls.”
Yeah, I see how this is going to go.
