True but when the Steelers lost the Texans were in deep shit...

Texans were locked into their slot....and played with no heart...

Ravens D was trash  26 ppg first 11  games ...last 5   15 ppg.....

The Chiefs better be ready in 2025.....

They've clinched a playoff spot, but having a first round home game is enough to play hard for. Texans just lost Tank Dell for the season and even if the malcontent, Diontae Johnson, amounts to anything, I doubt it'll happen in his first week as a Texan. On the flip side, the Texans clinched the AFC South -- a byproduct of playing in a very weak division -- but they're 5-5 in the last 10 games. They need to kick things up a notch if they want to do any damage in the playoffs. Without looking at DVA or any splits, I lean towards another road favorite in the Ravens.

A good reason to tread lightly in the NFL until the playoffs.  Draft slots = Big $.

In this span they are 13th epa per play on offense, and 9th on defense. Kinda good, but doesn't feel like 10-2 good. 7 one score games where they've gone 6-1. There should be a time to fade them coming up. At the Jets was a great spot if the Jets coaching didn't mess that up. The Cards look terrible. 1-4 L5 with that only win being vs the Pats at home. Now off an OT loss to the Panthers where they were eliminated from the playoffs. The line is inflated, but is it enough? I looked it up.  It sounds like a nice sweet base for a good stiff whiskey.  An Eastern European old fashioned! Nastrovya!

 

We Norwegians have a Christmas drink known to most Skandinavians, Glug.

A hot water based, fruit and spice infused cocktail, with the booze added at the end to avoid evaporation.  A sweet, spicy hot toddy.

Most add whisky unless you’re in the vicinity of Wisconsin, then it’s brandy.

Glögg recipes vary widely; variations commonly start with white or sweet wine or spirits such as brandy or cognac. The production of glögg begins by boiling water and adding spices to it. After a few minutes of simmering, the mixture is sieved and fruit juice, wine or clear spirits are added. Other versions begin by warming up the wine, alcohol, and sugar (not boiling it) and letting the spices steep in it overnight. The most common spices in glögg are cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. Other common ingredients can include citrus peel from oranges or lemons, raisins, or almonds.

Sac, just want to point out that the first round QB pics have been turds.  They need to ride the pine for a year or two.  TB12 is right peace_5

Damn, I should've placed bets on both. 

Also, I meant to write DVOA.

Back to the Ravens game, they obliterated the Texans. I hope the Chargers play them (Texans) in the WC round. 

If I'm up after the the wife and kid sleeps, I'll put up a few thoughts on the Saints/Raiders game. It's her one I unintentionally left out. peace_5

Could get 3 seed but unlikely . Could rest starters from here on out...especially after seeing Dell go down...   If kc wins on Xmas day bills can rest starters if they don't care about 2 or 3 seed
thanks for info
