🏈 Playoffs Game Day: Name Your Poison/Pick Your Preference Thread [View all]

Last edited Sun Jan 25, 2026, 03:40 PM - Edit history (1)

NFL Playoff day today leaves many of us without our favorite teams to root for except for the lucky fans of the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos. (Later Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks, pregame 1800, Fox)

For those watching today who's your favorite to win?
And are you having snacks? Wings? Or like I am, cooking something special for the game?

I'm doing a traditional hot chili and it smells especially good right now!

So what say ye, football enthusiasts?
Who will it be today?
Are you a Patriots fan today?
Or are you all in for the Broncos?

If you're not a football fan, you're in the wrong place.

🍻Cheers to the lovers, winners or losers.
🍀Good luck, everyone!
