If Vegas were to make odds (or whatever the appropriate phrase is as I am not a gambler) on B8NFLL playoffs, the Steelers over the Pats in S8 would have to be considered the biggest upset. Only other games that even come close are the infamous Falcons win over the Vikings in S4 (this was the Falcons team that had, among many things, a -80 something point differential) and the Dolphins win over the Chiefs in the inaugural season's AFC Championship.

S8 Pats were a Top 5 team that season (they would have had home field through AFC Playoffs if they won Week 17) and the S8 Vikings and S9 Jets were just below those Pats imo.

The last true road team to win a playoff game was, technically, the Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round in S7. Bills also won on the road that round, but their game was the earlier of the two.

Since then, true road teams are 0-26 in the playoffs. Will the Titans, Seahawks, Dolphins, or Giants end that streak?

And before I forget, with the Jets reclaiming the AFC East, the Cowboys own the longest active divisional crown streak at four seasons. Only the Broncos (3) and Rams (2) are on active streaks over one season (can you even call one season a streak?).

The team that I was most sure of was the Vikings, but I foolishly went with the Lions to save the Vikings for later. I have never adopted that strategy before, and I won't be doing it a second time.

If we include previous early access games like Dead Cells, here are some notable games that I can think of:

- Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon
- Guacamelee 2
- Into the Breach
- Moonlighter
- Subnautica
- Super Mega Baseball 2
- Vampyr
- Yoku's Island Express

I could be totally off-base about their popularity and/or consumer/critical reception.

For my final nom of the month, I'm going with Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.I don't really play horror games, but I do play many non-horror games with unsettling atmospheres, so I might as get into the Halloween spirit and make 2/3 of my noms sort of fit the theme.

KCF has beaten Spyro the Dragon

I beat Gnasty Gnorc and immediately went to Gnasty's Loot. I was expecting something totally different. I was either expecting an additional full-blown level or a giant sandbox full of gems and nothing else. It was squarely in the middle

I'm not sure if the hardest part of the game was doing all the supercharge jumps or all the flight levels. I'm leaning toward the former right now.

Rams obtained a lot of talent on top of an already very talented team with a great coaching staff.

The Raiders look lost as a franchise and don't seem to have much of an identity. Their head coach has been an analyst and color commentator for the previous decade.

Maybe it's because I have been down on the Saints FO, coaching staff, and overall play the past five or six seasons, but I never considered them to be a viable Week 1 pick and was surprised how many people did. Was it because the Bucs were starting Fitzpatrick?
