WILD CARD RECAP 2020

Underdogs: 1-0 (32-35)
Locks: 2-0 (75-21)
Brady/Bellichick Breakup Scorekeeper: Brady became the oldest person to ever throw a touchdown in a playoff game, moved on to an opportunity to get revenge against the Saints, and saw social media lavish praise on his looks in comparison to George Blanda. Bill had to turn down the Presidential Medal of Freedom from his good friend the president, because said president is social anathema right now and it’s not a great look to get an award from someone facing impeachment, sedition, and fraud charges. Point Tom. (Bill: 5 Tom: 9)
Title Belt: SEA lost to LAR (1 week reign)
Needles: 1-2-0 (16-27-15) [Threaded-fave covered-dog won]

  • Bills over Colts
    It was a close one but honestly seems like Frank Reich just outsmarted himself with his analytical moves. The right team won but Indy certainly seemed to justify the NFL’s decision to throw a 2-seed-vs-7-seed match into Wild Card weekend.
  • Rams over Seahawks
    Fuck. It’s almost inexplicable how the Seahawks managed to implode this season. It was quiet, almost dignified, but they went from a good offense with no defense, to a good defense with no offense, to being below-par at both when it mattered most. Need an o-line and some pass rushers and DBs. It’s impressive to prepare for both John Wolford and a hobbled Jared Goff and then not really be able to stop either. The Seahawks’ first home playoff loss in the Pete Carroll era.
  • Buccaneers over Some Team
    Impressive effort from Tyler Heineken but I never thought they were gonna win it. Not an entirely consistent game from the Buccs but they didn’t need an impressive one.
  • Ravens over Titans finally
    Inter-division rivalries are in many ways more fun than intra-division ones, and Ravens/Titans has become one of those sneaky-entertaining hatematches. The Ravens finally figured it out, coming back from a 10-point deficit for the first time since Lamar Jackson became the starter. While last season’s Baltimore squad was more impressive in the regular season, I have a lot more faith in this year’s iteration going forward.
  • Saints over Bears
    Why the fuck doesn’t every game air on Nickelodeon? That shit was so lit I barely noticed the game was total crap. Mitch Trubisky still in time out.
  • BROWNS OVER STEELERS!!!!!!
    HELL FRIGGIN YEAH!!!!!! Fuck you Ben! Go retire and die! Hahahahahahhaaaahahahahhahahaha!!!
