Won't be this year. No 3peat and I am standing by it. I think the Ravens or Bills will be the AFC representative in the SB.
Right now the Lions look great and need to be favourites in NFC but I wonder if they are peaking too early. Other than Hutchinson they have been suspiciously healthy. Hard to imagine that continues through the rest of the regular season and the playoffs especially as guys wear down late in the year after that ridiculously early bye they had.
Maybe they can mitigate some of that if they can keep winning and lock up the 1 seed a couple weeks before the end of the season. We will see.
You'd think the Lions would be favored, but according to the prediction markets it's still the 49ers.

Prediction markets never lie.
I still don't trust the Lions secondary. They are suspect but they are getting picks to make up for their futility. The running game with Montgomery and Gibbs has been amazing and they have the best OLine in the NFL which is great for Goff because he is really good and efficient as long as he isn't pressured.
I wish the Packers didn't make so many unforced errors yesterday. Game would have been close.

The OLine point is the important one. That gets overlooked because the offense is so flashy. Dominant lines win titles.

The OLine is insane in the run game. Montgomery and Gibbs are breaking these massive runs and you see the replay and the hole the OLine created for them you could have run two guys through.
To stop their offense you have to find a way to slow down the run game and pressure Goff. If not they will roast you. They are like the 49ers but with a great OLine. Yikes.

Yeah, I was just putting off buying in until the deadline.

I just entered. We're getting to where it's enough sats that I don't want to risk spraining my ankle before the contest starts and losing my entry fee.

Hahaha. I had a streak of 10k steps a day every day from whenever we started these challenges (maybe July) but a couple days ago I was a few k steps short and I thought better to break the streak now than during the challenge. So I gave myself a rest day to prepare and only finished with 7 and change.
