Interesting dynamics in this one.

Step 1: Beat the Raiders
a) Former LA team (Raiders) to return to one of their hometowns LA.
b) "The Chargers do still have kicking issues and the league's worst run defense ... but nobody’s perfect."
c) A NFL duality here. A charger win and playoff birth will increase the fan base they desperately need. On the other side, Raiders fan base in LA could be energized to see their team next year in LV.


Step 2: The Titans lose AND the Bills lose OR the Ravens win
a)"AFC 's two wild cards, particularly the Chargers and Bills, both of whom need the Titans to lose in order to get into the playoffs."
One of the links below show Jaguars not resting starters against titans.
b) "If Buffalo wins, then the Ravens need to beat the Bengals to avoid a three-way tie between Baltimore, Buffalo and Los Angeles. The Chargers would be the odd team out in that scenario because the Bills and Ravens own a better winning percentage in conference games."
c) "If they can pull it off, the Chargers will become just the second team since the 1970 merger to make the playoffs after starting 0-4. (The other? The 1992 Chargers.)"

Step 3: River's Channels Ramtha to Summon Wishes of NFL Owners
a) During pre-game activities Rivers meditates and received Ramtha's guidance to throw ball perfectly to Antonio Gate's hands.
b) Aided by time traveling Mormons and their leader Moroni.



Times
Bills vs. Dolphins, 1:25 EST
Jaguars vs. Titans, 1:25 EST
Bengals vs. Ravens, 1:25 EST

Raiders vs. Chargers, 1:25 PST

I would bet over time. I can't give you specifics until i get my crypto shit coin for my last prediction.

rough start. Chargers lose after icing attempt.

The riff raff continues.
Chargers waive rookie kicker Younghoe Koo and replace him with veteran Nick Novak

Example of roster changes that didn't make $en$e.

Former A&M K Lambo wins game against team that cut him
The Chargers likely regret cutting Josh Lambo prior to the season as he hit field goals at the end of regulation and in overtime to allow the Jaguars to win on Sunday.


After a training camp battle with rookie Younghoe Koo, third-year kicker Josh Lambo was surprisingly cut by the Los Angeles Chargers before the season.

Koo did not work out for the Chargers and the team has already cut him while Lambo, who hails from Texas A&M, was picked up a few weeks ago by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

On Sunday, Lambo faced his former team and he made them pay. Lambo connected on a 34-yard field goal with three seconds remaining to send the game into overtime. With three minutes left in the extra period, he won the game for the Jaguars, 20-17, with a 30-yard field goal.

In three games, Lambo is 7-7 on field goal attempts for Jacksonville with a long of 56 yards

Owner is selling games, and players.
Jacksonville goes to Playoffs at 9-6.

As Tennessee running back Derrick Henry got cranking late in the Titans' wild-card win over Kansas City, it became clear that some Chiefs players did not want to tackle him.

I don't blame them.

On his 35-yard touchdown run, Henry reached a speed of 20.31 mph, according to Liu. The NFL communications guru also noted that Henry is 247 pounds.

So in addition to being fast, he's also a physically stunning presence.

Good luck tackling him, Patriots.

Why did you change to the metric system...

Sounds like a real titan.

Because most of physics use the metric system and momentum is normally expressed in k m/s units.

This came out of an article about the poor referee work in the play off game.

In my observations, the energy levels and moves of the QB's, the play decisions by coaches, in the playoffs appear odd at times. It's either a few are taking payouts, making the NFL nothing more than an elevated form of professional wrestling.
(Santa Clause --> Tooth Fairy --> WWF --> NFL). Some teams may be severely under prepared due to the aggressive intelligence tactics by the NFL, team owners, and management. Here's a few examples using the Steelers vs. Patriots:

Stewart's cynicism of New England's victories is reinforced by James Harrison, who thinks foul play was associated with the Patriots' victory over the Steelers in the 2004 AFC title game. The Steelers won a then AFC record 15 regular season games that season and had defeated the Patriots handily earlier in the year.

“I should have another ring,” Harrison told Men’s Journal in 2011. “We were the best team in football in 2004, but the Patriots, who we beat during the regular season, stole our signals and picked up 90 percent of our blitzes.”

“Oh, they knew,” Hines Ward said after the Spygate controversy became public in 2007. “They were calling our stuff out. They knew, especially that first championship game. They knew a lot of our calls.”

In 2015, ESPN released new details about the Patriots' illegal videotaping of defensive signals from 2001-07, which included physical evidence of how they cheated during their win over the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game in January of 2002.

Here's a part of the story, written by ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr. and Seth Wickersham:

"Inside a room accessible only to Belichick and a few others, they found a library of scouting material containing videotapes of opponents' signals, with detailed notes matching signals to plays for many teams going back seven seasons. Among them were handwritten diagrams of the defensive signals of the Pittsburgh Steelers, including the notes used in the January 2002 AFC Championship Game won by the Patriots 24-17. Yet almost as quickly as the tapes and notes were found, they were destroyed, on Goodell's orders: League executives stomped the tapes into pieces and shredded the papers inside a Gillette Stadium conference room."

At Gillette Stadium, the scrambling and jamming of the opponents’ coach-to-quarterback radio line — “small s—” that many teams do, according to a former Pats assistant coach — occurred so often that one team asked a league official to sit in the coaches’ box during the game and wait for it to happen. Sure enough, on a key third down, the headset went out.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/ear ... 8c899f0942

The fire alarms at the Boston hotel the Pittsburgh Steelers stayed in prior to Sunday’s AFC Championship matchup against the New England Patriots went off around 3 a.m. The Steelers were not evacuated from the hotel, though many were awakened, according to ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio. It was determined to be a false alarm.

The NFL can help favorites win with a number of ways: referees not calling penalties (pass interference- a favorite), overreaching penalties (calling holding when not holding), non-plays (end zone bobbling bullshit), communication hardware malfunctions, lasers in stands, other disruptive technology affecting the performance of the athletes.

Yet the NFL has long allowed the Rooneys to keep their interest in dog and horse racing tracks, because gambling at the track is an inexorable part of the team's -- and the league's -- very DNA.

Urban legend says Steelers founder Art Rooney Sr. bought the team in 1933 with horse race winnings: That is in dispute, but certainly two big days at the track in 1936 let him keep the Steelers alive during the Depression. He joined other early team owners with links to the gambling world, including Chicago Cardinals founder Charles Bidwill Sr. , a horse track owner like Mr. Rooney, and New York Giants founder Tim Mara, a (then-legal) bookie.

The racing connection continues today: Houston Texans owner Bob McNair is a longtime race horse and stables owner and famed former coach Bill Parcells is such a horse-racing fan he bought a home close to Saratoga Race Course.

So over the years, as the league has taken a hard stance against casino-based forms of gambling, team owners have been allowed to keep an interest in dog and horse racing, as "a narrow, historically based exception" to the league's rules, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said yesterday.

Otherwise, those rules clearly prohibit team owners -- such as the five Rooney brothers who share an 80 percent interest in the Steelers -- from owning other gaming ventures. Under a league policy last reviewed in 1997, team owners are barred from owning not just casinos but "card rooms, lotteries, slot machines and the like."
