    It was quite apparent the Eagles could have won that game, but chose not to. The reason is...  debatable.

    I think it's ok what the Eagles did, teams have done it before, just a bit less obvious Grin For me there was never a doubt the WFT would get the W, there was no reason for PHI to win. And this

    (...) maybe the NFL should have both NFC East games played at the same time, spare us the 4th q farce.

    wouldn't have changed anything, just that it wouldn't have been in the spotlight Cheesy And I am not even mad at the Eagles, because a) it saves the Giants from embarrasing themselves and b) all in all Washington was the best of 4 poor teams in NFC East, so they deserve to be in the PO (by rule^^).



    The odds for the Bears seem rather high to me, maybe a dark horse in NFC.

    Saints tb Bears is the safest thing for me, despite the Bears only losing in OT in regular season to them. But winning @Saints is very hard and Chicago hasn't beaten any good team away all season long. But you never know, maybe they will go on a run, we have seen it before Wink



    For the record:

    Cardinals over 7.5
    Bills over 9
    Carolina under 5.5
    Raiders over 7.5

    Vikings over 9
    Patriots under 9
    Giants over 6 PUSH

    Some close ones, but 5-1-1 in the end Smiley



    The Top10 for the draft looks like this now:

    Jacksonville Jaguars
    New York Jets
    Miami Dolphins
    Atlanta Falcons
    Cincinnati Bengals
    Philadelphia Eagles
    Detroit Lions
    Carolina Panthers
    Denver Broncos
    Dallas Cowboys

    The bolded teams will or might want to draft a QB, so this could get interesting. The free agent market is thin this year, with the biggest names being Prescott, Rivers, Trubisky, Winston, Fitzpatrick, Brissett.

    You can throw the Broncos at 9 in there too.  Drew lock has not shown he is a franchise quarterback and Elway has agreed to let go of player management and hire a gm.  Unless you have a star already every gm usually wants to draft their own guy since their jobs depends on wins and losses.  They never want to inherite a team that will get them fired.  Expect the Broncos to have a decent amount of turnover.
