Wild card predictions

I have
The Texans over the raiders

seahawks over the lions

Giants over the packers

steelers over the dolphins

Raiders over the Texans. Osweiler is terrible and I'd probably rather have a QB who has never started an NFL game in his life (Connor Cook). I do think this will be the closest of the 4 games and who wins could very well depend on who gets the most pressure on the QBs, Jadeveon Clowney or Khalil Mack.

Agree with the Seahawks over the Lions.

Packers over the Giants. Aaron Rogers is back in top form. The best performing part of the Giants team this season has been their secondary, particularly Landon Collins but Rogers is too good and too accurate.

Agree with the Steelers over the Dolphins.

Pack over the Giants.... other than that we agree.

Gutted that Raiders get to the playoffs and then lose Carr - massive loss for his throwing and his leadership influence on and off field. Can't see them winning tonight.

Are the wild cards showing on tv or streams anywhere?

The loss of Carr is the end of the Raiders chance to make a deep playoff run this year. I'll be surprised if they make the game today competitive, let alone win.

I hope that the Raiders will be as good next year and can make a deep run.

All the games are on Sky Sports 1.

Cheers. Oh well, I don't have Sky as I won't give a penny to Murdoch.

lol this game is so bad

KingOfTheDaves · 7 Jan 2017 at 22:01

I wasn't expecting miracles from Connor Cook, but he's got no chance with these crap plays the coaches are calling for him.

too much running, though they just pulled it off for a td

Seattle getting preferential treatment for the refs? Shocker

It's also on GamePass this season (the playoffs that is) but that's in the region of £120 for the season. They might do a post season only package?

Timber · 8 Jan 2017 at 18:40

You can sign up for GamePass now at a reduced price (they do this throughout the season) for £49.99 until end of July 2017 (so inc Draft etc.) or £39.99 for just the playoffs. This is the first year of no post season blackouts in the UK & Ireland. It's probably cheaper for a Now TV Sports Pass but at least the option is there.

That said the service broke last night on iOS (iPad) and Android devices. I could not watch any of the first game live on my Android devices. Had to resort to PC. Almost like they forgot to lift the restrictions for those feeds. NFLUK forums is full of unhappy punters obviously.

Steelers look like they're playing a Pop Warner team.

Psycho Ned · 8 Jan 2017 at 19:07

Miami QB's gonna feel that one tomorrow :eek:

SS-89 · 8 Jan 2017 at 19:44

We started really well, sloppy at the end but massive play by deebo! If miami get a td 20-14 with the ball back at the start of 2nd half, momentum could have swung their way. As it stands hopefully we stop them at the start and get a td first drive.

ThestigGT999 · 8 Jan 2017 at 20:03

dolphins playing offence and defence lol

why would you run into your own QB

ThestigGT999 · 9 Jan 2017 at 00:51

feel for eli, too many dropped catches and limited protection at best

Azza · 9 Jan 2017 at 06:00

The amount of time Rogers was getting to move around was astounding. Against one of the best defensive lines this season was just superb by the offensive line. Really impressive.
