CPFC BBS - The NFL thread

See, for some reason 49ers Pack doesnt excite me that much. I don't really see it as a tactical game, a genuine competition. To me it seems more like the Packers just try and fly down the field and the niners just try and smash the hell out of people. Therefore in this game, for it to be a good game these two things will have to cancel eachother out and everything else will just be a bit stale because it's not what they do.

I genuinely think that that game, not Patriots Texans, is the easiest to call. I think San Francisco are clear favourites.

I think the Niners are favourites, but Rodgers has a tendency to have massive games against great D's. Was it the Texans he destroyed early this season (before their injuries)?

Biggest matchup is, can the Pack D hold on early to see if their O can get a flying start?

It depends - if he's burnt out a bit from being a head coach, he might welcome the lighter responsibility. And I'm sure Rivera would use him more respectfully than that, more as a mentor.

He better learn to start taking orders. I can't see him being the one giving orders again.

Seahawks @ 49ers

Patriots @ Broncos.

They are my predictions.

Think AFC is pretty straight forward. NFC more interesting as there are 4 good teams rather than just two.

Seahawks had a good win against an average Redskins team playing with a totally crocked QB, think Falcons will be a far tougher game in a more intimidating environment.

Just like Rodgers to outdo Kaepernick on his playoff debut, who we saw freeze a little in the big game against the Seahawks.

Can't play in bad weather.

First 2 throws, both awful.
