The Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Baltimore tonight for a tense playoff showdown with the Ravens, where every play could determine their postseason fate. Both teams are familiar with the high stakes of this rivalry, which has produced some of the NFL’s most hard-hitting and dramatic moments. As the intensity ramps up under the bright lights, the Steelers will need to dig deep to overcome a tough Ravens squad in one of the NFL’s most electric environments.
Is Ohio State the strongest team in the nation, or did the Buckeyes simply catch Oregon on the right day? To steal a line from Miss Kelsea Ballerini, two things can be true.
The Chiefs get the biggest advantage in the playoffs by playing all their games in Arrowhead Stadium. They are also as healthy as they have been all season. The starters were able to take a break in week 18 and get another rest this week.
When Notre Dame can’t get an early lead and Riley Leonard has to lead the Irish back, they’re far less effective. Just as the previous two games did, this matchup seems to be playing right into Penn State’s hands.
Welcome to our NFL coverage here at Godzilla Wins. This week’s matchup features the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) hosting the Green Bay Packers (11-6) in the wildcard round of the NFL playoffs.
Here is a look at which team has the edge heading into this matchup and why.
UGA seemed in control of the game for the larger part of the first half. While they had only managed a field goal, they were able to sustain drives, keep Notre Dame from scoring, and should have had more points if it weren’t for a fumble in the red zone and a sideline infraction penalty. WR Arian Smith even caught a deep pass. Things were going relatively well. And then the wheels came off.
Many of the announcements were expected. Guys like Jalon Walker, Mykel Williams, and Malaki Starks announced they would be going pro. The announcement of LG Dylan Fairchild going pro isn’t a shock, but is certainly a disappointment.
Okay, before we get to the good news, let’s get the bad news out of the way. WR Anthony Evans hit the portal, which is an expected move. He barely stayed this year, but still didn’t see much playing time or productivity. He is a talented slot receiver, but didn’t take care of the football. I’m sure he’ll go somewhere else and be fairly productive.
It’s time for the NFL playoffs, which means it’s time for the worst rule in the NFL to rear its ugly head again. No, not the ridiculous rule of an unrecovered fumble out of the opposing end zone being a touchback — although we’ll probably see that too during the playoffs. This refers to the NFL’s ridiculous insistence on giving division winners automatic home games.
