So who will be the first 0-17 team? The Lions or the Jets?
Neither. Every year they have a chance they will play each other and tie.

Jacksonville Jaguars have clinched the #1 overall pick following their loss to the Chicago Bears today.
New York Jets are locked into the #2 overall pick following their win against the Cleveland Browns today.
 
In Green Bay, Wisconsin; it was a 40-14 exorcism the Green Bay Packers put on the visiting Tennessee Titans. Now let's hype up tonight.


Bills at Patriots TONIGHT!

Tonight is an AFC East battle as the Buffalo Bills visit the New England Patriots. Usually, this would probably be the New England Patriots getting ready for the Playoffs while Buffalo either missed the playoffs or is battling for an AFC Wild Card. NOT the case this season. You see, the Pats are DONE for Playoff contention at 6-8 and 3rd in the AFC East while the 11-3 Buffalo Bills won the AFC East in 2020. Also, the Patriots don't have a certain Tom Brady playing for them anymore. So... yeah. Time to see who all will win tonight.

--- BETTING INFO ---
FAVORED: BUF (-7)
OVER/UNDER: 46.5 points

Enjoy the action tonight!
 
Rodgers cemented his position as leading candidate for MVP last night IMO after Mahomes put in a lacklustre performance against the Falcons. Rodgers & the Packers were superb in the snow both in the air & on the ground. Rookie AJ Dillon out-Henried Derrick Henry adding a potent new weapon to the Packers offense.
 
After the Houston Texans' latest fail, Mr. Justin James Watt delivered a spirited, from-the-heart, tell-it-like-it-is rant to the media. Whatever respect I had for JJ Watt then is even greater now. I mean, he GETS IT. Texans stink this season, but JJ Watt has always been the vocal leader of the team. I surely would keep him and DeShaun Watson. Whomever else may go or come based on management or coaching, I'm hoping they'll make a real difference for the team in 2021.

Texans can finish 2020 at 5-11, 4-12 (which was their inaugural record in 2002), or even 4-11-1. We'll see what happens when the Tennessee Titans come on down to H-Town.

And the Dolphins own their 1st round pick next year.
 
So... how do you feel about Buffalo's smashing of New England 38-9 last night at New England?


It's the final week of NFL action! If your favorite team is in the postseason, congratulations! Hopefully they will hoist the Lombardi Trophy and be declared champions. If your favorite team is NOT in the postseason, there is still one last chance if they are still in the hunt. And... if your team has been eliminated, you'll be playing for pride and hoping next season will be better. Either way, this is the last chance for every team to make a final impression. Also, every team plays on one day to close out the unusual 2020 NFL season and no Monday Night Football this week. So... no more games in 2020! All of these games will be played on January 3, 2021 pending any COVID-19/Coronavirus issues. Here are some of the many games for the final week of the season:

* MIA Dolphins at BUF Bills
* BAL Ravens at CIN Bengals
* PIT Steelers at CLE Browns
* MIN Vikings at DET Lions
* NYJ Jets at NE Patriots
* DAL Cowboys at NYG Giants
* LV Raiders at DEN Broncos
* SEA Seahawks at SF 49ers
* NO Saints at CAR Panthers
* TEN Titans at HOU Texans
* WAS {Football Team} at PHI Eagles

These are most of the upcoming games.


The Playoff picture as it stands coming into this week...

--- Who's IN! AFC ---
* Buffalo (AFC East Champions)
* Pittsburgh (AFC North Champions)
* ...AFC South champions...
* Kansas City (AFC West Champions, home field advantage)
* ...AFC Wild Card: MIA, BAL, CLE, and IND 10-5 each

--- Who's IN! NFC ---
* ...NFC East Champions...
* Green Bay (NFC North Champions)
* New Orleans (NFC South Champions)
* Seattle (NFC West Champions)
* Tampa Bay (playoff berth, Wild Card)

The playoffs will be all set once the final positions are all determined.


Enjoy this final week of the 2020 regular season!
 
Get ready for the playoffs! Sweeten the offer. Try to get in. Play for pride and hope for a better next season.

Whatever the case for your favorite team(s), a lot is going down today to help complete the 2020 postseason picture. So enjoy today's games and tonight's games.

Texans 'n Titans. TNT Rivalry. Tennessee and Indianapolis have been playing to take the AFC South in 2020. The Houston Texans lost 41-38 after the Texans tied the game late at 38. The 2020 Houston Texans finish the season at 4-12, which was their record in their inaugural season in 2002.

Up next for the Houston Texans... the 2021 NFL Draft. Great shame this season has been so disappointing despite DeShaun Watson's fabulous play. A lot of cleaning up and retooling needs to be done to get this team back to being a contender.


Congratulations to all winners from today, and extra congratulations to all playoff teams! Congratulations to whomever wins the championship this season.
 
Dolphins got throttled in their loss but can take solace that they finished 8 games ahead of the Jets and still will have the #3 overall pick (due to Houston's prior GM's incompetence).
 
The 2020 NFL Regular Season is over! Let's look at the final standings:

(! = Playoff team, !! = Division winner, !!! = hone field advantage)

Congratulations again to all postseason contenders. We'll see who all will compete to hoist the Lombardi Trophy once Super Bowl LV comes along. Who'll win it? We'll find out.


The New York Jets fired coach Adam Gase, and the Jacksonville Jaguars fired coach Doug Marrone. The Jets finished 2019 with a 7-9 record, and they finished 2-14 in 2020. So Gase leaves NYJ with a 9-23 record total after just two years with the team. Futility like you won't believe! As for the Jaguars, coach Doug Marrone gets canned after he went 23-43 with the Jaguars. The Jags won their first game of the 2020 season, then lost all 15 games the rest of the season. Best wishes to both the Jets and Jaguars next season.


Well, that's all from me. Any early predictions on who will thrive and who will fail in the postseason? The Wild Card extravaganza begins this coming Saturday.
 
Has a situation like the Eagles game ever happened in the league before?

You mean literally giving up? Not intentionally like that. Perhaps the owner despises my Giants and demanded that they lose and may explain why Pederson is still their HC?

Houston Texans fans, get to know your new General Manager- Nick Caserio. Caserio comes over from the New England Patriots, where he served with the team since 2008. It has been said the Texans been trying to acquire N. Caserio since about 2019. Well, we have our guy finally.

Congrats on the hire. Hope this saves Watson from becoming Matt Stafford 2.0
 
Bills over the Colts
Bucs over Washington
Saints over Bears
Browns over Steelers

Two tough ones (IMO) are:

Ravens & Titans
Rams & Seahawks

Could go either way.
 
'Hawks should trounce the Rams if Goff isn't playing. I haven't heard an update about his thumb. But if he is playing, it'll be a razor thin margin of victory that could go either way.

I can't wait to watch the Ravens/Titans game.


Jerome
 
DeShaun Watson seems discontent with the Houston Texans' new changes so far, and he apparently may want to be traded to the Chicago Bears. He apparently dislikes having ex-Patriots staff tag along for the Texans. The trade demand at this point is mostly rumors. The Texans are going to be incredibly mediocre depending on if DeShaun Watson goes and if J.J. Watt doesn't want to return for another season. It may be even tougher to be a Texans fan if things get worse.
 
Win or go home. The Indianapolis Colts are DONE thanks to the Buffalo Bills. It was 27-24 in favor of Buffalo. They won their first postseason game for the first time since December 30, 1995.

Other games coming up today/tonight:
* LAR Rams at SEA Seahawks
* TB Buccaneers at WAS {Football Team}

Sunday's games:
* BAL Ravens at TEN Titans
* CHI Bears at NO Saints
* CLE Browns at PIT Steelers

But again- congratulations to Buffalo on a job well done.
