I'm so sick of this, been noticing it for a while now as I have been lucky enough to have it happen to teams I bet on all the time, even though I've avoided the lowest scoring 2nd half team (Chiefs) most of the time.
I did take them this weekend but only because Miami had the same problem but even worse they at the same time gave up the most TDs in the 2nd half the last month of the season, and the Chiefs actually allowed the least points in the 2nd half all year. Besides that, the weather and the Phins looking like they were going in the tank I wouldn't be playing on KC at all. Even tho they'll probably just flip a switch and win it all again somehow.
All this wildcard expansion, TNF on prime, pay per view playoff games and actually the product is getting worse and worse. How many of the TV games this year were absolute clunkers. Unders were hitting every week for a while. TNF they always have the trash matchups and yet it's manufactured to come down to the wire because neither team does enough scoring.
So far in the wildcard round the Browns, Dolphins, Lions and Rams all failed to advance the ball over the goal line in the entire 2nd half. 4 of 8 playoff teams can't score TDs in a full half? That's brutal. You probably watched 25 commercials in the 2nd half of every one of those games.
And yes I'm especially bitter about this because the Lions didn't cover doing this same shizz, gotta love McVay and his meaningless field goals like that one he kicked when time was expiring just to eff the spread (think it was vs SF?). It's insane how both teams went up and down the field all 1st half and both forgot how to score 2nd half.
Just hand the NFC to the 9ers none of these other teams have any chance, GB looked great but that's gonna all change next week, they're not beating the top seed with a week of rest. The Lions barely put away a team the 9ers have absolutely owned so even if they get past the next round they're still toast.
