Who are you guys predicting? Personally I’m rooting for the Seahawks, I find their team more enjoyable overall and Puka Nacua has quickly become my least favorite player in the NFL. From saying concussions aren’t real to voilating his own locker room with live streaming to “the rest of it” which I won’t mention so the thread doesn’t get shut down…. I’m hoping the Rams lay a fat egg.
If the Lions somehow sneak into the playoffs I’m not scared of either team - but I’d rather play the Seahawks so I don’t have to re-live the Stafford vs Goff media drama over and over.
Absolutely. It’s a big reason why I picked Seattle. Weather is expected to be an absolute mess throughout the PAC NW starting tonight and through the weekend.
I had the same thought but ultimately I fell on familiarity and the fact that if McDonald and the D doesn’t have to focus on the pass to the usual extent they should be able to slow down the run game.
Also, that they had four TOs last time and lost by 2 gives me confidence.
To be honest I think Seattle has the best team in the league. It’s just that Staff is so much better than Darnold that I feel most confident about LA winning the whole thing.
I get that everyone thinks I’m crazy but if BAL sneaks in they are exactly the profile of the playoff team that can pull off a stunning run.
Does either one winning have playoff implications for us? I assume we want the Rams to just go ahead and win the division so there are no wildcard tiebreakers at play, but can we even catch them at this point?
Rams own tie breaker over us so it is better for them to win. If Seattle collapses we could catch them. If they lose to the Rams they will also be playing for more when the face the 49rs.
Everybody keeps talking about our best chances are to catch the Bears or the Packers. But the 49ers play the Bears, Colts and Seahawks. Not sure who goes if we both finish 11-6 but I can see them losing 2 of 3.
