Personally I would like to see the NFL reduce the sched back to 16 games but expand the playoff teams to 8 in each conf - whereby there are no byes, everybody plays each week, seeding by records, in a 1 vs 8, 2 vs 7 format....and while the 4 division winners each conf is assured of being in the playoffs, that doesn't mean home field in round 1.... THE HIGHER SEED ALWAYS GETS HOMEFIELD throughout the playoffs!!
I hate seeing a 9 - 7 team get homefield vs a more deserving 11 - 5 team.
How are my pre-game posted "Primetime" picks doing?
Week 01: 0 - 0

Week 04: 1 - 0 W Ravens -2.5 -115 *BB win

Money talks, Fubah. NFL should be glad to expand more football games, as huge revenue keeps pouring in from both regular season and postseason. Now, the NCAAF has followed through with the 12 teams playoffs premiere. 
Streaming companies, such as Amazon Prime, Peacock and lately Netflix have hopped in the NFL bandwagon for the big bucks. Paramount+ is also streaming CBS NFL games.

@Europa
Indeed. 
Money, money, money. Everyone is trying to chase money!
....um....including moi. LOL
Not really sure why though. I'm all set in my retirement. I guess I could use a new vehicle though. I could buy it cash now but that would be using my own money.....LOL much rather use the " books' " money 
Anyway, successful handicapping is a constant challenge, and I love the challenge!

Giants still have the least stressful path to "accidentally" lose their 3 remaining games to claim the first draft pick!
**Interesting note: The awful Raiders face the awful Jags. But unfortunately only one of them can gain the benefit of a LOSS! LOL
2 - 12 NYG
2 - 12 Raiders
3 - 11 Carolina
3 - 11 Jags
3 - 11 Tom Brady's old team
3 - 11 Charlie Browns
3 - 11 Titans
It's the way the NFL rewards failure. Losing can be beneficial.
And we as handicappers need to keep this in mind . . .
When I look at upcoming games where one team holds MASSIVE edges over their significantly weaker opponent, over the past 5 weeks my handicapping sheets revealed these results:
Teams I circled:
Week 11: 7 - 1 su
Week 12: 6 - 3 su
Week 13: 10 - 1 su
Week 14: 7 - 1 su
Week 15: 9 - 1 su >>>>> = 39 - 7 su ( 26 - 17 - 2 ats )
I subsequently used those indicators to make MOST of my su bet selections. My real bets went 41 - 13 in this 5 week time frame, whereby 6 of my 13 losses were "in-game hedge bets" (ie, not handicapped) and one more was for an in-game shot at a nice middle (but barely missed) IOW, my pre-game handicapped selections ultimately hit SU at an 87% rate (41 - 6) utilizing those stats! ... This week it is looking like I'll have as many as 8 teams "circled" on my sheets which hold MASSIVE edges - to win SU - over their significantly weaker opponent. I DO NOT evaluate based on team win/loss record, nor the Vegas odds!
But I do consider significant injuries which may add or remove teams from the list. So far in my capping this week, with much still left to analyze, I have Bills, Bengals, Lions for SU wins....but those can change due to injury status...esp the Lions 
updates ?
updates ?
Neither of today's games are on my "circled" list.
BoL today with your bets! 
They are both in watch & wait mode...
For the very first time, Amazon Prime Video will be exclusively streaming an NFL Wild Card game in January, either on 1-11-25 or 1-12-25.
During last season, Peacock reportedly paid NFL $110 million for the sole right to stream the Wild Card game between Miami and Kansas City.
@RayRayK
BoL! 
I am not an NBA guy due to my focus on both mens and womens NCAA hoops but I will pull for your Celtics play since PSU is well on their way!
