Titans-Packers-Chiefs-Bucs

Should be four competitive games.

Rules are made to be broken. I'm good with your picks.

If there was actual monies on the line , They are the pretty close to the picks I would have probably went with.


Mahomes is a phenom! Love to watch him play. His Gunslinger style of play reminds me of Farve.

Exactly why I like to watch him.  Doesn't always work but when he gets hot the field seems small.

When we "gambled" overseas we were loose with the rules as well. Stakes were tiny and playoff first rounds can go wonky. No fun if half the guys were out of contention with three rounds left to go. We did it the same though. If you are winning you pick first so the contenders can rollthe dice and choose some underdogs. At some point I'll have to pick against the Packers but there are only a couple teams with a shot at defeating them. I wlll not pick against them at home unless I am desperate.

I am probably going to watch the Packers with my Sis in law. She bleeds green, and lives in Bears country so she has no friends this time of year lol. I've never been a Bears fan but I like it when they are competitive because GB-CHI is one helluva good rivalry. Arguably the best in the league. I say rivalries are very good for any sport, and better when the outcome is actually in question.

I also like Mahomes because he is humble, even if he looks a bit like a punk off the streets. I've seen the midfield exchanges after he beats a legend. He seems in touch with the fact that he is in his prime and they are in the waning years of a career. One of the reasons I loved Peyton Manning. A real pro is classy in victory or defeat.
