Congrats to @77Bourque for being the one guy to get it right
Even made a little real life cash off the game but that 10.5 spread was too easy to not bet on even if Washington lost. It just had all the earmarks of an upset. I don’t think Pittsburgh is a particularly great team and after watching them barely beat a team with 22 players with covid, they are way overrated. Washington’s defense is actually pretty good and over the last 4 games are getting better and better.

So, if KC and Pit win out and since they don't play each other, who would get the #1 seed in that instance? On NFL.com it has the KC with the bye and they have already updated the Steelers record with the loss.

A bye vs plays either LV/Indy/Mia/Cle or Bal

I thought I read KC wins the tie breaker but I can’t remember what the exact scenario was that gave KC the edge.

Actually, I need to amend this. If both teams win out the rest of the season than Pittsburgh wins the #1 seed. Pittsburgh lost to an NFC team while the Chiefs lost to an AFC team which would be the deciding factor.

Going to be tough for Pittsburgh to keep winning with The Dolts, Cleveland and Buffalo ahead. KC doesn’t have an easy path either with NO and Miami ahead.

Everyone thought it would be Buffalo.

Instead, it's the bland and boring Washington Checkdowns
