Gazing into Balls’ crystal balls

Trust me,  you do NOT want to see the other images I considered for this post.

This will be my weekly outlook as to who will make the playoffs,  who won’t,  who will win,  and who won’t.

Essentially,  it will be an exercise in pissing Hippo and Moose off.

TO THE STANDINGS!

AFC

What about that game last night,  huh? It seemed like whoever had the ball last would win and then the Rams D showed up and intercepted two late Mahomie throws to seal the victory.

The loss drops the Chiefs closer to the Steelers although they are still ahead for the #1 seed.  New England has a cake schedule and should surpass the Steelers for the #2 seed and the bye that goes with it.

Here is how I see them finishing:

#1 – Kansas City

#2 – New England

#3 – Pittsburgh

#4 – Houston

#5 – San Diego

#6 – Baltimore

Playoffs

Pittsburgh beats Baltimore. Houston beats San Diego.

New England beats Pittsburgh.  KC beats Houston.

New England beats KC.

NFC

Last night’s win allowed the Rams to keep up with the Saints even though New Orleans maintains the #1 seed position due to their win at home. It won’t matter as the Saints schedule is more difficult than the Rams’.

Here is how I see them finishing:

#1 – Rams

#2 – Saints

#3 – Bears

#4 – Cowboys

#5 – Panthers

#6 – Seahawks

Playoffs

Seahawks beat Bears.  Panthers beat Cowboys.

Seahawks beat Rams. Saints beat Panthers.

Saints beat Seahawks.

Superb Owl:

Saints beat New England.

Go ahead, yell at me and tell me I’m stupid. Yes,  I’ll keep track of how my predictions change over the course of the next few weeks to see how wishy washy I am.

Balls somehow lost his bio and didn't realize it. He's now scrambling to write something clever and failing. He likes butts, boobs, most things that start with the letter B, and writing in the Second Person. Geelong, Toluca, Barcelona, and Steelers, in that order.

The only reason I had to be upset was thinking I might have to enter the lottery for Seahawks Super Bowl tickets. Now I’m assured that won’t be happening.

Thanks Balls!

I said it last night that in this timeline it will be Brees v Brady and it will be an awful 2 week build up to the game.

“Moooom, Meany Mcmeanerson said we won’t make the playoffs. I want to push Balls in the garbage.”

“Pey-pey is the only one in this family who gets to put balls where they aren’t wanted. (Under her breath) Except your father the night we conceived you.”

We’re catching up on Top Chef and in the latest episode we watched (filmed in summer of 2017) one of the contestants was super-excited because he won a pair of tickets to the upcoming Super Bowl in BirdMurderDome. That contestant (who is otherwise seems like one of the finest human beings to ever compete on the show) was an Eagles fan.

It was pretty neat imagining how wonderfully that prize package worked out for him.

litre_cola

Yes, that was fantastic when that happened. He seemed like a great guy and totally deserved it.

Rams are gonna win out and destroy New England in the Super Bowl.

Or not, whatever.

/goes back to not really caring about football like all other Rams fans

Who does Pittsburgh play in their remaining games? They aren’t the 3rd best team in the AFC

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’d like for KC to have to face the Cheatin’ Side of Town or Greysville in the divisional round. I think they will casually roll over Houston.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

That’s the great thing about the play-offs; certain teams can get hot and DOOOOO EEEEEET.

SonOfSpam

Are you saying “San Diego” just to strike at Low Commander’s cold dead heart?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

No you’re thinking of his neighbor’s heart.

King Hippo

God, how I hope my Donks cripple The Ben this weekend.

Home field is very, very important to RRRRRRRRAM IT!!, as well as the Chefs. If they each get 1 seeds, we will get the MNF rematch we all crave.

LA’s finest still have a SNF trip to Soldier Field on the schedule. Not a good matchup.

But man, Chi**** at #3? They could beat NO, even on the road. The SeaTruthers are dire shite, though I suppose they could still pip either Minny or Black Panthers for WC2.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

You are over estimating da Bears. *could* possibly, but highly unlikely.

Well, it could happen this way.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Actually if it did, I’d be fine with the Aints beating NE. Especially if they kicked the crap out of them to the point where it looks like they shouldn’t have been on the field.

Go ahead, yell at me and tell me I’m stupid.

Do we have to keep it on topic?

Houston wins out.

::Returns to huffing::

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

There is apparently huffing all around.
