Chiefs / Steelers has been moved to the early hours of Monday monring due to weather. :(

I thought the Cowboys might do well, halfway through the 1st quarter, and I am ready to say the Packers are going to smash the Cowboys

The Cowboys are a great team but I'd pick Rodgers over Prescott any day, especially when he is in the form of his life.

So just what is the point of Richard Graves on Sky Sports. He adds nothing being in the stadium whatsoever. He's seeing exactly what those at the studio are, let alone the host broadcasting team.

I was wondering that myself, he was at the Redskins game as well and it seemed like the most pointless thing ever. If he was pitchside and doing the Pam Oliver role it might have some merit but having a guy in row Z behind an endzone adds nothing at all to proceedings.

Sky Sports Mix now also simulcasting the Pro Bowl and Super Bowl alongside Sky Sports 1. The SB is also on the BBC though, but Sky's coverage starts earlier.

Championship games tonight, really looking forward to the NFC game, will try and avoid the result of the AFC game, and watch it during the week. Really cannot pick a winner in the NFC game, and I do not want to pick the Patriots in the AFC. (I picked the Patriots to beat the Packers in the Superbowl at the start of the Playoffs, making a mockery of competitive balance as I put it, so that's looking good :| )

Also the dates are set for the Wembley games:

The Jacksonville Jaguars will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, September 24, before the Miami Dolphins host the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, October 1.

Individual tickets go on sale on the 31st January, with the Twickenham games to be confirmed at a later date (possibly April :| )

Hmm. Thanks for that. Would be surprised if it was a million viewers.

Disappointed to see the Seahawks go out, but not too surprised. Rooting for the Packers now. :datass:

Who's watching Packers vs Falcons?

I am and it seems like a tight game so far.

Indeed.

17-0 now and can the Packers fight it back?

Never count Rodgers out! Difficult to see the GB defense stopping Atlanta though.

What a first half for the Falcons. It's a big task for Rodgers and the team to coming back but I think it's little too late.
