For Jack of a Better Name

We open Super Wild Card Weekend with an NFC West tilt between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers. Brock Purdy leads San Fran to be undefeated in his starts and taking over during the Miami game. Seattle stumbled into the playoffs after a week 18 win against Los Angeles and Green Bay lost to Detroit sending the Seahawks to Santa Clara. The 49ers are favoured by 9.5 and that is not a number that concerns me in most circumstances but a third matchup this year and an 8-point game on Thursday Night Football. I will take San Francisco to win but Seattle to cover the spread and keep the game close.

1. Patrick Mahomes 328 and 3 touchdowns from Mahomes against Denver while barely holding on. 2.  Josh Allen Obviously no game for Allen so just like a bye week no movement 3. Jalen Hurts The Eagles lost to New Orleans led by Gardner Minshew. I think this adds to Hurts' value. 4. Joe Burrow No game for Burrow he remains. 5. Justin Herbert One of the most efficient Justin Herbert games I've ever seen. Quietly a comfortable playoff team.  6. Trevor Lawrence TLaw beat up on Houston still setting up a win-and-in-scenario with Tennessee next week. 7. Dak Prescott They beat Tennessee on Thursday but didn't look great against a team resting for next week. 8. Geno Smith Ended the Jets season which is another feather in the cap of Geno Smith 9. Daniel Jones Destroyed the Colts to clinch a playoff spot and probably rest for next week against Philly. 10. Brock Purdy Never thought Mr.Irrelevant would be here but here's Brock. Brady clinched a division title and Rodgers put himself i...

Originally I had picked this game but sometimes there is something bigger than sports. Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field and had to be saved on the field and is now in stable condition. The NFL has yet to make a decision on this game moving forward but canceling it is the only option. The priority is Damar's health and sending all of our thoughts and prayers. Logistically the NFL can't continue this game but the number 1 priority is Damar Hamlin.
