Sorry if I was a little arrogant yesterday. Was just having some fun with Bama Golf, Walter, T’eo and the Due Rights and channeled my inner Rush Limbaugh on the blog. I woke up yesterday morning thinking I was going to pick the Bengals and the Bills. I had that in my plans all week, but somehow changed my mind yesterday, and went with the road underdogs which were costly decisions.

Now have to regroup and go back to my original predictions for these 3 games today. The Raiders did give the Bengals everything they wanted. The guys in silver in black just couldn’t cash in from the red zone. However, the Patriots had no shot. Josh Allen and the Bills annihilated them. The Bills are a very compelling team going forward. They could be the best team in the AFC, if not the entire NFL. Next weekend will be riveting as well with some colossal matchups.

Here’s a look at today’s contests along with predictions.

Bucs by 7

How do you ever go against Tom Brady at home in the playoffs? Next to impossible. DeVonta Smith is already a stellar player for the Eagles, but he and Jalen Hurts just don’t have enough against the ageless 44 year old and the defending Super Bowl 55 champs. It’ll be interesting to see how the Bucs fare going forward because the NFC is loaded, but I like them at Raymond James today.

Bucs 31, Eagles 21

San Francisco 49ers (10-7, 6-3 Away) @ Dallas Cowboys (12-5, 5-3 Home)

AT&T Stadium, “Jerr, Will… Get by,”, Arlington, TX., 80,000 expandable to 105,000

Cowboys by 3

I was thinking about saying, “How bout them Cowboys!” but I’m going to instead say, “How bout them Niners!” in an upset.

Chiefs by 12 1/2

Another guy that you say to yourself, how do you go against the Patrick Price in the playoffs at home? The Chiefs are playing a team that barely got into the tournament, and while it’s Big Ben’s last go round and there could be a lot of energy out of the Steelers, give me Mahomes and the Chiefs. P2’s buddy, the Rodgers Rate, is unsuccessfully tossing axes with Jake from State Farm and waiting for his next opponent in Title Town next weekend.

Chiefs 35, Steelers 21
