    Hey guys my son and I won a fantasy football championship and I know you don't care about that but I wanted to donate to one of our players' charities and we had DeVonta Smith and Miles Sanders - does anyone know if those guys are raising money for any special causes? Otherwise it'll go to something for Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce.

    I would imagine they both have charities.
    Most of the guys do but certainly the high visibility guys.  
    The Google machine could help or you could message the team.

    Ideal scenario: Giants in Divisional Round, Cowboys in NFC Championship. Although history tells us there is no going to the Super Bowl without first beating the Vikings.
    I think it's going to be San Fran in the Conf game, if Birds get there (which they should!). I haven't bought into the hype of the 9ers, I just don't see it (sorry, F Me!). But apparently people are scared of them, so I guess that's the one tough matchup.
    Niners going to the Bowl!

    I have no idea how the playoffs go.  Defense can be really, really good.  I don't think Seattle gets much going.  
    Brock Purdy is undefeated as a starting qb in the NFL.  Amazing!
    (So was the Giants bum until yesterday)

    Bucs upset Cowboys
    Niners pound seachickens
    Vikes roll Giants

    Bengals, cincy, and Doug's Jaw win in AFC

    I actually think Cowboys probably win but I want them to lose and I think Brady has some calls left from the refs to make it tough.

    So happy Wroggers didn't make it.

    Win this weekend's game and our 49ers are no doubt Super Bowl LVII Champions!  Though this is the ONLY matchup I fear. Not the Eagles, Vikings, or Cowboys. Not the Chiefs, Bills, or Bengals. 49ers/Seahawks rivalry always brings out the best in both teams.  I absolutely hate that our entire playoff fate rests on three-peating those waterfowl in one season. I believe we've only swept them 3 or 4 times since they joined the NFC West in 2002.  I don't know that we've ever won 3 straight...

    I read that teams that swept 2 regular season games are 14-9 vs. that team in the playoffs - and they were usually not as much of a mismatch as Seahawks-49ers. Frisco by 17.

    Clearly that's something I already tried. I found one for Travis Kelce.

    I don't do Twitter, do you?  If so, I would tweet at the team and ask for the associated charity for the player.  Sorry, should have figured Google was already consulted.

    Funny, I said the oppo to someone yesterday. 
    I think Seattle stinks and I'm not scared of them.
    Eagles could drive us nuts with Hurts.  I'd consider us at a disadvantage there.  I expect if 49ers Eagles played that it would be Eagles win.  (Which I won't admit to my wife...I'll be there with her if they do play one another, which could be fun.)
    Cowboys have the O to make it scary, although I trust them to choke, just like last year.
    Bucs?  Tom Brady *and the refs* can beat anyone
    Vikes?  I think they are trash but never know.
    Giants?   Actually I'm not scared of them, either.

    Chiefs, Bills, Bengals all scare me.

    I reached out on IG.

    Yeah, if the game's close, the refs are going to help Brady win it. You think you stopped them on 3rd down? Nope - Illegal Contact.

    The roughing the passer anytime anyone farts in his direction is the worst.  Hurts (or Purdy, or most other guys) can get tossed around without calls....but Tommy Gravy will get the phantom roughing every game.

    "Brandon Graham, Vinny Curry, Miles Sanders and numerous other Eagles players selected charities meaningful to them to support, many of them either here in Philadelphia or in their hometowns, and worked with artists to design cleats that represent those charities and causes.

    Graham’s cleats support the Detroit Police Athletic League, Curry picked Big Brothers / Big Sisters and Sanders the Pittsburgh Boys and Girls Club’ program to end gun violence."  ?

    Yeah I thought they'd lose, Minny stinks. If we don't win this we have no business in any kind of conference 'ship let alone the Super Bowl.

    I knew Gianta could hang with MN, as they did a few weeks back, but I thought they would get rolled

    Now you get the Giants.  Couldn't ask for much better.

    Can’t wait for the bullion duis and domestic violence calls when the giants send these losers packing

    The whole beating a team 3 times thing, your qb isn’t even throwing the ball, haven’t played real football in a month….7.5 is insane
