  1. Divisional Round is HERE 🔥
    Sherm breaks down Seahawks–49ers, Rams–Bears, Bills–Broncos, and Texans–Patriots with predictions, key matchups, and playoff pressure moments.
    Which game are you most locked in on this weekend? 👀👇

  2. Which game will see the best combined QB play on both teams?
    – Brock & Sam
    – Matt & Caleb
    – Josh & Bo
    – Drake & CJ

    Notice the only game without an elite defense is the Bears/Rams. Compare that to any year other than the current year over the last several years.

  4. Seattle played zero downs in base last game, and got away with it. You better believe shanahan schemed up some run concepts to beat on those DBs. High probability he forces them back into base, then goes to work on the LBs and DBs in pass game. I think the one constant is the Hawks dline will be in Purdys face. On the other side, the 49ers LBs will be far more sound in their run fits and coverage, but can they generate pressure on Darnold? This is a different game folks.

  6. Which RB would you pick/predict for most production this week?
    1. Cook
    2. Harvey
    3. Henderson
    4. Mack
    5, CMC
    6. Walker
    7. Williams
    8. Swift

    Its obviously Williams and that should inform how that game goes. But maybe this is where the weather comes in, and im not convinced mcvay is run first till i see it.

  19. The last game was dominated by Seattle's defense. Controlling the game with running the ball and missing out on points made the score close but not necessarily the overall game. I feel injuries will catch up with the 49er's but I also agree that anything can happen if the game is close in the 4th qtr.
