The Suck for Luck race is back on. Do the Vikings or Rams actually want to draft a QB though? They both have a lot invested in recent first round picks who they won't be ready to give up on yet.

Colts win so they obviously aren't too fussed about Suck for Luck.

Apparently* it is the first time a team with <1 win has beaten a team with 10+ wins.

A mate of mine is fulfiling a boyhood dream & attending the Giants v Jets game on Christmas eve. I getting updates every couple of hours. A very excited lad.

Well the players are never going to play to lose, their futures are at stake, although I suppose owners and coaches could minimise the chances of winning if they wanted to.

I've seen it pointed out though that their two wins have come against divisional rivals who maybe don't want to see the next superstar QB in their division... looks very much like a tiebreaker situation for number one pick now. Houston I guess have sealed the division and the injuries have caught up with them now, suspect they will be one and done in the playoffs unless they get a couple of key men back.

Bump...

by JGK Mon 02 Jan 2012, 00:04

Looks like the Tebow journey could be ending today.

Broncs 4 down with 2 to play.

Raiders have all the momentum with 8 to play and trail by 5 after the opposition missed and easy field goal (just like last week when the Raiders won to stay in the playoff hunt).

Meanwhile, the quntish Jets are out.

by Zat Mon 02 Jan 2012, 00:31

Fair dinkum, JGK, you are a freak.

Denver loses but will go to the playoffs because Oakland's comeback stalled.

Good news on he Jets though. Sanchez is an overrated showpony.

by Zat Mon 02 Jan 2012, 00:42

Eleven playoff spots decided now.

AFC settled.

1 Patriots, 2 Ravens both get next week off.
3 Texans v 6 Bengals
4 Broncos v 5 Steelers

NFC awaiting confirmation of the fourth seed.

1 Packers, 2 49ers have a rest next week.
3 Saints v 6 Lions
4 Giants or Cowboys v 5 Falcons

by JGK Mon 02 Jan 2012, 00:46

Patriots look a lock for the AFC.

Saints could push Packers in the NFC.

Brady v either of Rogers or Brees would be a cracking Superbowl.

Zat - did you see Suh's "mocking" of Rogers today after he sacked the stand in QB for GB? What a qunt given that the stand in through 6 TDs and 480 yards.

by Zat Mon 02 Jan 2012, 00:47

I believe all playoff games will be on ESPN in Aus.

Which means not putting up with ONE's amateur hour.

by JGK Mon 02 Jan 2012, 00:47

Sweet.

We get ESPN at work too.

by JGK Sat 07 Jan 2012, 22:25

Playoffs start today...

Bengals and Texans currently 7-7 in the second.

by JGK Sun 08 Jan 2012, 14:12

Texans come with a wet sail - Arian Foster has the biggest running game in playoff history apparently* .

Meanwhile, Brees and the Saints thrash the Lions 45-28.

by JGK Sun 08 Jan 2012, 14:17

Sorry I lie - it was Calvin "Megatron" Johnson with 211 yards receiving in a losing team that set a record.

by JGK Sun 08 Jan 2012, 22:17

Giants thrash Falcons who seem to be the Graham Hick of the NFL.

The car crash that is the Denver Broncos are 6 down after the first quarter v Steelers. Winner earns the right to be thrashed by the Patriots next week.

by Yorkie Jill Sun 08 Jan 2012, 23:24

Ahh, Darren Sproles!! He's my new Jason Robinsom.

Thrilled that the Falcons are out, held some hope for the Lions last night but it wasn't to be Sad

by Zat Mon 09 Jan 2012, 06:00

Denver do it again - If only they could get Tebow to play well early in games...

Still, that's the very dangerous Pittsburgh done for the season.

by Yorkie Jill Tue 10 Jan 2012, 01:23

Saints v 49ers, Packers v Giants this Sunday.

What's the deal with the Pats? Did they get a bye?

by embee Tue 10 Jan 2012, 01:36

Should be 2 more games, ya sgyt

you posted the nfc games ...pats are in the afc

by Yorkie Jill Tue 10 Jan 2012, 01:39

for some reason, the advert just showed those two games this wochenende.

Anti-afc barstewards.

by JGK Tue 10 Jan 2012, 01:58

BCS Championship game about to start...

Aussies on both sides.

by Yorkie Jill Tue 10 Jan 2012, 02:49

To annoy those who don't even like mentions of the college game, I watched the All American High School game the other day. It was on in a sports bar. They got a decent crowd. Most of the boys were picking LSU, Alabama or Texas and Florida colleges.

Morgan Freeman is doing the voice for Visa Superbowl ads. Ack.

"...college men from LSU
went in dumb came out dumb too
hustlin round Atlanta in their Alligator shoes

LSU getting thumped at half time. Their punter is their best player.
