The Divisional Round games
This weekend's games are all easy picks for me when it comes to rooting interest...... I'm not torn between two teams in any of them where I don't mind either team or I hate both teams.
I want the Bills to destroy the Broncos - for obvious reasons. I think almost every Raider fan does, with the exception of some weirdos who live in Bills country and hate them with a passion. The Bills have so many injuries, but they do have the superpower of a Josh Allen who can make ridiculous plays if it comes down to it.
I want the Niners to beat the Seahawks. That's probably not a popular view among Raider fans, but I've never had the disdain for the Niners that a Bay Area Raider fan would have and I still hate the AFC West Seahawks. The Niners also have so many injuries, I don't know how they get it done.
I would love to see the Texans smash the Pats. Maybe as a result of a CJ Stroud fumble that's overturned by replay and then called an incomplete pass due to some obscure rule. Stroud looks awful right now, if they don't keep him clean then he'll have multiple turnovers again.
Then the weekend can get capped off by the Rams routing the Bears, with Mike Lefleur screaming "f[raiders_icon]ck the Bears" in support of his bro.
Bills, Niners, Texans, Rams - are the teams I want to win
Who ya got?

As a BYU fan it makes me happy seeing his success. He was so often injured in school. Missed a lot of time. That's why he was a 5th round pickchucker wrote: Sun Jan 18, 2026 3:54 pm Nacua just has no fear of death when he goes over the middle.

I really enjoy watching Stafford. Not only is his anticipation outstanding, his ball placement always enable his receivers to make a play or protect themselves. I have always been a fan of his.

I think a lot of people were like me. If he is there when we pick take him but don't trade up. At least that's where I remember people wereALLRAIDERWORLD21 wrote: Sun Jan 18, 2026 3:42 pm Remember when everyone wanted to trade up and draft Stroud

A lot of people around here were upset we didn’t tank for him. That got louder as his rookie season was really good.Rdrfan1964 wrote: Sun Jan 18, 2026 3:18 pm It's more than sad the Texans with a stellar top tier defense is forced to protect an absolutely pathetic offense. Yes, the weathers bad, there are injuries but, CJ Stroud as a franchise QB is a turnover machine. Inconsistent is putting it nice. Pats Get Stidham, he stinks! Rather see the Pats than the Donkos in the SB.
Same thing with Kyler.
I’m glad we are not beholden to any of these twerps at this point….with our fan base likely ending up split between “he sucks” and “he needs more help”.
