The Wildcard round is hissstory and the NFL has slithered by with some odd decisions.
First, hats off to our Cobra Rank First Class Sleuths who are clearly onto the NFL’s game.

These fine gentlemen have demonstrated exemplary ability in examining the NFL’s strategy in rigging games. Good job, Cobras. We’re on to them.
Lets burrow into the Viper’s nest:
Strangely, 4 of the 6 games played were non-competitive blowouts. The NFL/Vegas (whomever) went through a lot of work to rig these WC scenarios into place (as discussed in week 18) only to see them playout as completely uninteresting games.

Fantastic investigative work, Python Sergeant First Class.
It seems that the NFL is banking on the more fanatical, small market teams netting them the most financial gain. They’ve scaled back nearly all large market teams from the playoffs, sans the CA teams (note for future reference). It’s an interesting move. They must have some analytical data that we don’t yet have access to. We’ll watch how this plays out.
There were some ref shenanigans in the Cinci game. The NFL clearly wanted the Raiders out of the playoffs. Another odd move considering the rigging required to get them in. They clearly favor Cinci’s #16 market over Las Vegas and their new stadium. The Vegas stadium theory seems to have no legs.
The Divisional Round is set:
Bengals @ Titans
Bills @ Chiefs
49ers @ Packers
Rams @ Buccs
They just a called a taunting penalty on Brady...Rams are moving on.
That's all you needed to see...
Chiefs dropped to a 1 point favorite...that mean there is big money on the Bills. The talking heads have played their part...this is a smash and grab on the unsuspecting masses.
If Vegas/NFL eats a mammoth financial loss/ratings tank to advance Allen over the biggest star in football...it'll be a first. [Reply]

Thanks man, and same to you!!
Yea, I ninja watch a lot and see some of the post you have on the DC side of the house and I agree with a lot of what you say. However, the obvious either bots or paid shills that are in there keep from posting. There aren't enough "Ignore User" options in the world to get me posting over there. hahaha
Side Note - I just got back home at halftime, checked the score and started cracking up.
I just hope that it's rigged for the Chiefs this year, but I fear that it is not [Reply]

If it's rigged then why do you watch? Would you put your life savings down saying it was rigged, I don't think you would. Is the hypocrisy just a way to rewrite the history you don't like?
Ah, k. I see you are talking about leaving while still sitting on the stool. Cool. [Reply]
I actually found myself rooting for the Bucs there for a sec just because if the Bucs would've made it then that would've given the Chiefs a higher chance of not only making it to the Superbowl, but also would've given them the advantage towards a win [Reply]
