since the pussies won’t pick, i’ll pick for the pussies. behold, the conspiracy picks….you’re welcome.

Patriots vs Bills: does the nfl have any interest in furthering the patriots now that brady isn’t there? *raises eyebrow*…big media market could mean lots of eyeballs on the teevee in the divisional round…but how committed is the league to pushing another young qb in josh allen? we shall see.
Raiders vs Bengals: the nfl hates the raiders, but john madden died *sheds a single tear*…what a story that would make if they could pull off the upset...however, the bengals have another young qb…time will tell.
Chiefs vs Steelers: the steelers have been given no chance, but if there’s one thing the league loves it’s vet swan songs…win for ben could be the theme of this one… *coughs*…of course, mahomes is good for the ratings…he’s like the league’s ace card.
SF vs Cowboys: sf is a large market, so a win here may mean big ratings in the next round…but the boys are america’s team and another guaranteed ratings winner…lots of infighting in league circles this week we imagine. *snorts derisively*
Rams vs Cardinals: la with their new stadium needs to start seeing a return on their investment. the cardinals have another young gun at qb. expect this one to be close, maybe even ot. or it could be a blowout either way. stay tuned. *grins maniacally*
Bucs vs Eagles: we know the nfl loves brady, and his wife is a witch.*signals the evil eye counter-hex voodoo sign* but philly has their young qb that needs a signature win. this one deserves to be watched closely.

my work here is done. *chuckles*

The Rams cannot lose. It may or may not be close but the Rams will win to get Stafford a playoff victory. His reward for being good and staying in Detroit all those years.

Raiders will win as well. Continuation of their reward for canning Gruden who took heat off the other stuff in the emails.

No one cares about the Steelers so the Chiefs are free to destroy them. Same with Bucs but might be a close game.

The Bills/Patriots will be officiated fairly. No league preferences there. Same with the Cowboys game.

LMAO

Snorts derisively got me bad

LMAO

Now all you have to do is wait for the results, work your way backwards from there then declare victory over all the sheeple.

Not only is every game rigged but all NFL players are women.

Still a chance for rigged predictions.

Man...that's ****ing crazy. I've been telling my buddies all week that the league wanted Burrow and the Bengals to make a deep playoff run. I flat out told them that the league would help the Bengals today by letting Chase get away with push-offs and by blowing whistles mid-play to get the Raiders to stop playing defense.

I was just too busy this week to pop in this thread and post it.

Minus 1 for me. Guess the league don't care about new stadiums. Until they do. But until they do, they don’t.

This one was a ratings rig, Boss.

Yup! No way they let their newest Golden Boy lose.

to the folks who posted predictions prior the games, hats off...I just dont get around here as much as I used to, otherwise, I would have done same.

That said, the 'early whistle' gave Cincy a TD...everyone else agreed, it should have been called a dead ball, but the crew gave Cincy a TD...they win by a TD.

Fixed? Possibly...I think the biggest problem with the NFL 'entertainment' is the continuous screw ups by the officiating crew.

Blame it on incompetence and not bias...

a quick visit to nfl.penalties.com, an interesting visit.

Cincy is the second least penalized team in the league (GB #1), but first in LEAST penalty yardage. While the average per team was 100, Cincy had 72 total penalties in 17 games. KC had 111. Tampa Bay had 97.

This game really didnt have to do with lack of flags or favorable treatment, but the phantom whistle...the league should be embarrassed.

You're the best new addition to CP in awhile. Congratulations.

In other news, run. Run fast. Before you're ruined.

I’m going to be 0h for 2 in the rigged department. The question is: where did I go wrong?

Was it the mob? The Jesuits? TV market manipulation?


My guess is straight witchery.
