I’m a Saints fan, but I have always had a soft spot for the Bolts. Just love the compete level of Rivers.
I hope they beat New England next week. They have a legit shot. Just hope Melvin Gordon is good to go. I know he got dinged up today, but still was able to play the entire game.
James has been awesome for them as a rookie on the defensive side of the football.
Looks like they finally found a kicker in Badgely. Best one since Carney by the looks of it.

Not that Goff is a bad QB, but imagine if the Rams had Rivers on their current roster. Rivers is a gunslinger.
Cowboys are definitely not going to be easy they have a pretty damn good defense. If our D contains Elliot we have a great chance.

I think it'll be Chargers/Chiefs in the AFC, just feel like those are the two most talented teams in the conference and it would be fitting if they played a 3rd time. Tough to go against Brady and Belichick but the difference in talent is pretty significant.
In the NFC I have Saints/Rams, I think the Saints win rather easily while the Rams have a bit of a tougher time but ultimately prevail. There are going to be a ton of Cowboys fans in the Coliseum next week.

And you can bet that the criminal that said f*** the Rams on live TV on channel 7 will be in attendance.

But here's the the thing about the playoffs, just like a pitcher in baseball your QB has such a major impact.
Mahomes? Young and doesn't have the experience yet but I think he's that good.
Ryan Leaf on the other hand? Umm.

Would not shock me to see the Colts knock off the Chiefs. That Colts D has been solid this season and the Chiefs D has been Swiss cheese.
Colts should be able to run the ball and control the clock keeping the Chiefs offense off the field.
Colts @ Bolts, AFC Champ Game.
I wonder if the NFL would look to move that game to the Coliseum? Lots of variables involved for this (Bolts win/Saints win to host NFC champ) to be a possibility but it would make sense.

What a weekend it would be for the NFL in Los Angeles if it was:
Indianapolis at Los Angeles Chargers in the AFC Championship
and
Chicago at Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship

Looking at the opening lines:
The Rams are 7 point favorites over Dallas; to bet the Rams to win straight up you need to bet $330 to win $100
The Chargers are 4.5 point dogs in New England; if you bet the Chargers to win straight up you can bet $100 and win $180

my #1 key for a Rams win: Goff needs to KNOW when he has to throw the ball away. He hangs onto it for waaaay too long trying to make a play. and he's not fast enough to create yards out of nothing.
#2 - they have to adjust(??) their defense. Everyone runs and throws against the Rams. They need to get some (many!!) 3-and-outs

I dunno, with the mass exodus of Californians to North Texas that is taking place I expect a mass invasion of Rams fans at AT&T Stadium the next time the Rams play in Dallas.

Was gonna put this in the OT thread above but since we are discussing NFL playoffs in here..hilarious.

The Cowboys fanbase is just enormous, and it's truly a nationwide following. I've been lucky to live in a few different regions in the country and there are Cowboy fans everywhere. The next biggest fanbase is probably the Steelers but it's really not close. Just a perfect storm with so many transplants living in SoCal and the SoCal fans being way more casual than most places. The swing in ticket prices from the Saints and Rams games after Parkey missed that kick was insane.

I think when it comes to my generation the Cowboys really got rolling when their game was on CBS TV every Sunday in every market which didn't have an NFL team. Those were the days of Roger Staubach, Bob Lilly, D.D. Lewis, LeeRoy Jordan, Walt Garrison, etc. etc. I was not one of those Cowboy fans. For some reason I gravitated to the Vikings and Joe Kapp, then Fran Tarkenton. Just something about being able to see the breath of every player on the field looking like steam. The Purple People Eaters were pretty good as well.
Almost everyone where I grew up in Phoenix were huge Cowboy fans because they watched them on TV every Sunday. Didn't matter that the Rams were geographically closer. When it came to baseball though, it was the Dodgers and Vin Scully.

Russell Martin back in Dodger blue. They're bringing back their 2006 rookie class. Who is it next year? Loney? Broxton? Delwyn Young?
Great win Rams. Hope we duplicate the run game next week lets go!!!
