    Big game for the Bengals tomorrow evening against the Bills. The tie that was abandoned a couple of weeks ago, so should be an open contest.

    Bengals are a proper prospect for the Super Bowl after many many fallow years. Might have the best QB in the sport in Joe Burrow.

    Tonight’s divisional games between Kansas & Jacksonville in the AFC probably won’t cause any upset, but the way the Jags played in the second half last week was amazing. I just think the Chiefs have too much.
    In the NFC game, Philadelphia & the NY Giants are similar, no one thought the Giants would beat Minnesota, if there’s going to be an upset, it might be there.
    Tomorrow sees, probably the biggest match up in terms of evenly matched teams, where it should be impossible to pick a winner. A lot of controversy over the Bills v Bengals game, as a lot of people think it should be at a neutral ground, if the Bengals won the league game, they’d have the No2 seed & home field advantage, obviously the game was abandoned & the NFL just gave Buffalo the home field advantage. Although at this stage it’s anyone’s game.
    The last game is Dallas at San Francisco, the 49ers defence has been outstanding, the Cowboys offence at times has been equally good, so it’s going to be a tough game, I’m leaning towards the 49ers to go all the way, but it’s ultimately anyone’s guess.

    I love (American) football but despise the NFL. The owners are a collection of gangsters and they've installed a team of lackeys to run the league. Still, this is the time of year I start to get interested. Kansas City has a great team, and features one of the best gameday experiences in the NFL, second only to Green Bay. Go Chiefs. I grew up hating the Dallas Cowboys, but having lived in both DFW and the SF bay area, I am partial to Dallas. Go Cowboys. I expect KC to dominate Jacksonville but the other three games should be close.

    Fumble inside the 5 yard and Mahomes playing injured .
    Defo one that got away.

    So the first 2 through to the Championship game next Sunday, the No1 seeds do enough to get through, Jacksonville almost take advantage of Mahomes injury, but a poor 4th quarter saw a fumble & interception give Kansas the edge. In the NFC game, Philadelphia had no problem dealing with NY Giants.
    Today was always the bigger games for me.

    Bengals defence has been outstanding this half... some record last 5 games they have not allowed a TD in the first quarter.. they limited Bills to 8yds...

    I really think they will take some stopping they are like a rollercoaster when they get going .
    Can only see 49ers tripping them up .

    I'm hoping the Eagles get there, it's my American family's team, they live just outside Philly.

    With me being a massive Eagles fan (Cunningham on my jersey for a start) I sincerely hope you’re right in that they not only make the Super Bowl but win it, just like when they took down Brady and the Patriots in Feb 2018. As you say, Fly Eagles Fly

    Philly is in my bottom 10, but the Niners are at or near the bottom. Go Eagles. I'll be pulling for my old home-state Chiefs the rest of the way.
