Who you got? Playoff Edition

If they've been in it, I feel a bit better.

I mean in Dallas.

Damn, really? That cold? Even God wants them prepared.

Yep, mid-30s temps with like a 15 mph wind...

As long as the wind doesn't blow Sunday, and I don't think it's supposed to, even a low 20s temp won't be bad at all, I don't think.

I mean, I went out and ran some yesterday at dusk when it was colder than the high, wind chill probably low 20s, and it wasn't that bad. And I usually hate the cold.

Plus these guys have all these high-tech clothes that make a big difference. Now those guys that only had that basic cotton stuff back in the Ice Bowl days... That was brutal.

It was 18 degrees when I started my car this morning not counting the wind chill. I was thinking, hope they're practicing in it right now.

Hoping we win, I think we'd have to play a near perfect game to beat them though. We need to get a couple turnovers and not have any of our own. If we have multiple turnovers we'll probably get blown out. As the Sheik mentioned above, their run game worries me quite a bit.

Its hard to pick against any of the home teams, but wouldn't be shocked if one or two got knocked off either.

That's a heat wave in Minnesota. We bust out Bermuda shorts at 20 30 degrees. No lie. Your body gets "used" to -15 regularly.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

There's gonna be at least one upset. I think it will be the Cowboys or Ravens who pull it off.

I'll go Hawks, Pats, Broncos, and Boys.

I would't call the Ravens beating the Pats an upset.

Vegas disagrees

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Don't think there's any doubt they'll score points, but we should, too...

Surprised you picked the Pack this week. I won't be surprised if Rodgers hurts his calf again and has to come out like in the Detroit game.

If it was colder, then his calf could be problematic. But at 30 degrees... he'll be fine, unfortunately.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Very worried about the packers running game. The defense has been tackling kinda shitty lately. Lacy will run through weak tackling.

I'm more worried about Lacy's receiving out of the backfield than his running.

 

[LAZARUS_LOGAN]

Cowboys lose this one. It was a nice ride. Interesting, I'd feel better about this game if the Cowboys were at home.

I thought I read where he preferred it colder, presumably to slow down the rush?

But yeah, warmer weather might actually help them as much as they throw it, so playing on the warmest day of the week might be a bad thing for us. But in the end, I don't think it'll be a factor at all either way. Low 20s with the sun out isn't cold enough to matter.
