The Bears are 100% trading down. Theyre gonna get a massive haul of picks for doing so as well.

Poll: Who would I most like to win the SB in 2023? The Bills

He’s not walking away from that kind of money.

Yeah he needs to be suspended some games next season and a big fine. It doesn't even make sense. What also makes it worst number 95 Wyatt came over and gave the trainer a shoulder check. He needs to sit down some games too.

Who would I most like to win the SB in 2023? Chiefs (if it can't be the Chiefs, than I'd like to see Josh Allen and the Bills).

Who would I most like to lose the SB in 2023? Whoever the Chiefs would be playing from the NFC (assuming the Chiefs make it)...otherwise, I don't hate any of the teams that did make it.

Aaron Rodgers did not have a 300 yard game this season

[BizCat]

I’m rooting for Cincinnati. They are still being very overlooked.

As a Niner fan I was torn about who I wanted them to face. Rodgers looked mortal this year with his supporting cast but I would never necessarily count him out even though Niners seem to have his number in the playoffs.
Niners swept the series against the Seahawks this season but they did the same against the Rams before losing to them in the playoffs last year. But hopefully they got the stinker out of the way with the Raiders game. Mitchell and Deebo back in the lineup, Brock and Kyle have so many weapons to choose from. Brock just has to stay mistake free and the D needs to play like they did yesterday.
Only downside, game was scheduled for the same time my sisters 40th bday party so I am just gonna have to stay off my phone until I get home.

I personally hope your team is done with Geno and want to trade their two first round picks for it.

I have a feeling the trade will happen with the Colts for some reason.

Be funny to see the Bears trade down once with the Texans, then again to another team. Bears need a slew of picks.

Rumor of Chicago radio was Lovie knew he was getting canned before the game and he went rogue to stick it to the Texans and help out his old team.

If it wasn't 30 years of Bears butt kicking from those two, I'd feel bad for their fans that have to suffer through all their crap.

My exact same thoughts, but I wouldn't be shocked if the Vikings are done after the first game. No faith in them.

The Broncos would volunteer... if only they had any picks left to trade.

Once again last night showed why the SEC has way more players in the NFL than any other conference.
That was a Whooping !!

The #Ravens agree in principle with All-Pro LB Roquan Smith — now the highest paid at his position in NFL history with a 5-yr, $100M deal. $45M fully guaranteed & $60M in total guarantees. Huge. The 1st off-ball LB to get $20M per year. Roquan represented himself.

That certainly resets the LB market. Some big numbers there.

Yeah, and I doubt an expansion to a 12 team format changes much. A lot of people thought the move from 2 to 4 teams would bring more parity a decade ago, but it has not panned out. The SEC has won 6 of 9 CFP national titles. I suspect a 12 team playoff will merely result in the SEC top-tier teams (Alabama, Georgia, sometimes LSU) rolling through the weaker non-SEC teams in the tourney.
