Now for some Taylor Swift spotting today hope she's got her thermals on as Kansas are in Buffalo tonight

Maybe helped by the Packers in the end, missed kick and some questionable play calls, Love doing a Favre tribute throw across body when he didn't need to sealing it. But boy did they make it so uncomfortable for the Niners. I somehow think it'll be more comfortable against the Bucs/Lions but you never know with playoff football now lol

Packers fans should really see the glass half full rather than half empty on their achievement this year. Future looks bright.

My Brother is a Packers fan, so this one hurt him. More so because it's the 49ers, a team who has won 5 straight in the postseason against the Packers. Also this one was there for them. The Packers had a lot of chances during the game to put the 49ers down 10 or more, just were unable to do it.

The Packers will be back though. They are the youngest team in the league. Love can make some incredible throws. Which can be a double edged sword since he attempted a really poor one at the end of the game just because he has an incredible arm.

I don't feel confident of the Niners beating any of the 3 remaining AFC teams, mainly due to their X-Factor QB's. That's not getting ahead of myself, but I'm shouting for the Buccs tonight as I feel that the Lions have more quality.
Putting all that aside it seems like this could be a last chance for this era of Niners to win a Super Bowl. The constant turnover of personnel is a big challenge every year, but more than ever many of their players are at their peak now. Whatever happens Purdy will have to be paid some realistic money, so a lot of juggling will have to happen on the roster to accommodate that, some big name will move on.

The Packers put up a valiant effort, got to be honest, it did hurt. But as KerrAvon said, I see hope again for their future. It looks like they're getting some of that old aura and magic back.

Tonight I'm hoping for at least 2 touchdowns for both Detroit and Tampa Bay in each half. Would you guys say that's possible?

As for Kansas City against Buffalo, some bookies have the Bills as money line favourites. Seems strange to see Chiefs as slight underdogs. Should be the form match of the round.

^^ I'd say Lions have an explosive high scoring offense, but a defense that can give up points, the Buccs are more even, but I expect TD's in this one.

Bills v Chiefs, toss of the coin, no idea.

^^ This is going to plan, lol. Exchanging Field Goals, Always hard to predict in the Playoffs, not always the scorefest you expect, defense is dominating so far but, I can see some breakout big plays.

^^ It was a stupid bet from me anyway. There was never going to be enough TDs - defenses on top and I feel I should have known that.

I've just gone for KC to win and both teams score in the first quarter in the late game.

Buccs 10 - 10 Lions - Half Time
Despite the turnover the Buccs got their act together on offense & stopped the Lions on defense. The Buccs lead the Lions in total offense 233 yds -134 yds

Fine margins, the Field Goals could've just as easily been TD's & you were on track.

Buccs 17 - 17 Lions - 4th Qtr
This game has a very similar feel to the 49ers Packers match-up. It could come down to the last possession.
