As I mentioned the bye week before the Super Bowl, we'll have an off-topic thread each Sunday to talk about anything. To get it going, here's one of the more impressive bar tricks I've seen:

Our last game open thread of the season. Have at it.

Gary Fitzgerald of Redskins.com highlighted two stats that stood out in the Redskins two wins vs the Giants: 3rd down conversions and time of possession.

Once again, here are are all of our picks this week. To my surprise, I'm the only one that took the Giants. Here's a stat for you. Eli Manning is 4-0 on the road in the playoffs in his career. A win today would set a NFL record for QBs. A stat that makes me nervous though is that the Niners are 9-0 against the spread at home this year.

As for Pats vs Ravens, Ravens are 4-4 against the spread this year on the road (4-4 straight up as well). Oddly, the Ravens are 5-1 against the spread vs teams with a winning record. Pats have covered 10 out of 16 games this season, and NE has covered the last 3 teams they've played with a winning record. The Pats rushing D is ranked 17th in the NFL while the Ravens boast 2nd best rush D and 4th best pass D. That's good enough for me to take the 7 points.

Wild card football. When will we get one of these? Over/under 2016...what do you got? Also, below are the SB Nation blogs for each team...check em out.
