Packers Would ( Love ) To Close Down Solider Fiele

 

Saturday night in Chicago, the Bears will host their all time rival the Green Bay Packers. On the NFC side of Super Wildcard Weekend. NFC North rivals clash, where literally records don’t matter nor the seeding ( 2 vs. 7 ).

Bears second year quarterback Caleb Williams is set to make his first career start. 3rd season in a row Packers quarterback Jordan Love has led Green Bay to January football.

In a season full of injuries in Green Bay the big blow last month was season ending injury to ex Cowboy pass rusher Micah Parsons. 

Even  running back Josh Jacobs amongst others aren’t 100 percent or out completely. 

Expect a competitive game and possible “upset” by the Packers. 

Houston ( AFC ) May Have A Problem

 The 2nd place team in the AFC South are the 5th seed in the AFC playoffs. 

They may never play another game in Houston until next September. 

Yet historically defense travels. It also travels during post season play. Our sleeper team in the AFC to make a run = are the Houston Texas.

Our reason is their defense, highlighted by Will Anderson Jr. , Danielle Hunter and Derek Stingley Jr. 

The defense has play makers on all 3 levels. 

Here at Sports247365 we enjoy defense and low scoring games. 

We certainly wouldn’t mind seeing in these playoffs at some point : Denver vs. Houston.

Where potentially points would be at a premium.

The Texans invade Pittsburgh this Saturday at 4:30pm, to open up Super Wildcard Weekend. 

Zero Hour Possibly Near ? For Head Coach If Bucs Lose…

 A critical winner take all game on Saturday in Tampa.

Basically the NFC South title game, Carolina comes to town to take on the Buccaneers.

Head Coach Todd Bowles in previous years as head coach, has led the team to division titles and playoff appearances.

This season early on after a quick start looked like Tampa could potentially run away with the NFC South. 

Injuries began to occur, and losses started to pile up. 

Keeping Carolina in the division race.

Bowles as a defensive coordinator under Bruce Arians also won a Super Bowl when Tampa defeated Kansas City.

Saturday if Tampa were to lose and not making the playoffs,  could Bowles receive a pink slip ? 

A win would momentarily quiet those rumors. 

Indiana Brings Heisman Trophy Winner To The Rose Bowl

 Here at Sports247365 our all time bowl game : the Rose Bowl. The 2026 edition in Pasadena, California is a quarterfinal CFP matchup between the Big Ten and SEC.

Alabama is in a rare position as betting underdogs. 

Nonetheless unlike Indiana historically the Crimson Tide is used to this stage.

A spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals await the winner.

2025-26 NBA Season : NBC / Peacock / Amazon Prime : Welcome To The TV Party !

 NBA on TNT after 3 decades, aired it's final game in Indianapolis this past spring.

The Knicks were eliminated by the Pacers in 6 games in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The final Inside The NBA post game show took place, well at least on that network. 

NBA on ESPN / ABC remains...however after money was dished out far as a new tv deal : NBA on NBC is back ! Along with streaming services : Peacock and Amazon Prime.

Here at Sports247365, we grew up in the 1990's and became young adults in the early 2000's. That's the era where NBA on NBC was in it's prime.

It was nothing like : Bulls/Knicks, Knicks/Pacers, Knicks/Heat, Bulls/Magic etc...and we didn't even get to the NBA Finals. Where the Bulls aired on NBC for all 6 of their titles in an eight year run 1991-1998.

Shaq and Kobe 3 peat vs. Indiana, Philadelphia and New Jersey = the final years of the NBA on NBC.

You close your eyes and you can hear Marv Alberts voice at venues : Chicago Stadium, United Center, Delta Center, Staples Center, Great Western Forum and Madison Square Garden, just to name a few.

Lastly, the epic theme. the epic score = legendary. Just as legendary as the Bulls pre game introductions in Chicago ! 

Week 2 Super Bowl LIX Rematch In Arrowhead

 Week 2, of the 2025 NFL season will be highlighted by a Super Bowl rematch.

The Philadelphia Eagles will head to Arrowhead Stadium to take on the Kansas Chiefs.

On February 9th, the teams met at the Superdome in New Orleans. 

Kansas City was looking to become the first team in NFL history to three peat.

Early on, it seemed a real possibility it was not meant to be. By now everyone knows the final score : 40-22 in favor of Philadelphia. Many would say : it wasn't even that close.

6 months later, it's an early season test for both teams.

It's not what we call a hat and t shirt game. Those are NFC / AFC Championship Games. Winning a division title, and obviously a Super Bowl followed by a trophy presentation.

Eagles would go on to lose by 3 in Glendale, Arizona during Super Bowl 57, by a final score of 38-35.

Later that calendar year, during the 2023 season...Philadelphia won in Kansas City.

However that victory, did not undo the Chiefs being reigning defending champions at that particular time.

4:25PM EST = NFL on Fox.
