If the Chargers win tonight: SATURDAY 4:35 (CBS) - New England at Cincinnati SATURDAY 8:15 (NBC) - Arizona at LA Rams SUNDAY 1:05 (FOX) - Philadelphia at Tampa Bay SUNDAY 4:40 (CBS) - LA Chargers at Buffalo SNF 8:15 (NBC) - Pittsburgh at Kansas City MNF 8:15 (ESPN) - San Francisco at Dallas If the Raiders win tonight: SATURDAY 4:35 (CBS) - New England at Buffalo SATURDAY 8:15 (NBC) - Arizona at LA Rams SUNDAY 1:05 (FOX) - Philadelphia at Tampa Bay SUNDAY 4:40 (CBS) - Las Vegas at Cincinnati SNF 8:15 (NBC) - Pittsburgh at Kansas City MNF 8:15 (ESPN) - San Francisco at Dallas ... Buffalo/Cincinnati swap days due to us playing a west coast team If they tie: SATURDAY 4:35 (CBS) - New England at Cincinnati SATURDAY 8:15 (NBC) - Las Vegas at Kansas City SUNDAY 1:05 (FOX) - Arizona at LA Rams SUNDAY 4:40 (CBS) - LA Chargers at Buffalo SNF 8:15 (NBC) - Philadelphia at Tampa Bay MNF 8:15 (ESPN) - San Francisco at Dallas ... with PIT out of the playoffs, Brady becomes the NFL's darling and TBB-PHI moves to SNF. FOX protects ARI/LAR (its the only NFC game left at this point), and NBC picks Mahomes over Burrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Harry’s forecast puts a tad more chance of wet than Sunday, but Sunday will be a bit colder. I still will take Saturday over Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Raiders / Chargers are see-sawing. Vegas just retook the lead. The bandwagon is probably sweating it.... ever since the Chargers' got on the board the lead has never been more than 4 points. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 So.... here's an interesting thought. With the super-expanded 14-team playoff system that the league introduced last season, it is entirely possible - though extremely unlikely - that one of the #2-4 seeds could host THREE playoff games. Even us. As the #4 seed, we cannot host one of the other division champs, as they have better seeds than us. But we CAN host a wildcard, and there are three of them. Three wildcards, three rounds. As long as wildcards keep beating division champs, our chances of hosting a 2nd (or 3rd) game go up. Basically, for the OTHER games in the AFC playoffs, every time a home team wins we lose one home game. During the Wild Card round, if the home teams win BOTH of the other games, then our opening round game will be our final one at PBS. If one home and one visiting team win, then we're on the road for the Divisional round, but can host the Conference Finals if TEN is upset by whichever Wildcard team they play. And if both visiting teams win during the Wild Card, we become the defacto #2 seed - we get to host the Divisional round, and have a chance to host a 3rd game if the Titans get upset in their game. Of course, if we lose a game we're done. But if we win, we could get a 2nd or even a 3rd home game, as long as visiting teams do well in the other games. In a best-case scenario, where visiting teams win EVERY game, we would host #5 during the Wild Card round, #6 during the Divisional, and #7 during the Championship Round. And.... to COMPLETELY overload this post, here's the "best case" scenario for each of the possible results for tonight's SNF game: If Raiders win: Wild Card: CIN hosts LVR, NEP wins at BUF, PIT wins at KCC Divisional: CIN hosts NEP, PIT wins at TEN Conference: CIN hosts PIT If Chargers win: Wild Card: CIN hosts NEP, LAC wins at BUF, PIT wins at KCC Divisional: CIN hosts LAC, PIT wins at TEN Conference: CIN hosts PIT If they tie: Wild Card: CIN hosts NEP, LAC wins at BUF, LVR wins at KCC Divisional: CIN hosts LAC, LVR wins at TEN Conference: CIN hosts LVR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 Well.... That failed 2 pt conversion pretty much guarantees the Stealers make the playoffs. Oakland leads San Diego 26-14 in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishBengalFan Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 That FG helps. Oakland/LA/Oakland/Vegas now up 15 on LA/San Diego/LA, which is two TDs. The tie is back in play, but the Bolts need to get a TD here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
