To get them to sign up, all you have to do is with them. Alright, let's get to the rundown. 1. Today's show: Packers keep playoff hopes aliveThe Packers needed a win in the worst kind of way Monday night, and although they only led by four points at halftime, they steamrolled the in the second half of what ended up being a 24-12 win. Here are three key things from the game that Ryan Wilson, Will Brinson and I covered during our postgame podcast: Packers dominated the Rams on a bitter cold night.The Packers let the Rams hang around for one half, but then they kicked the door open with a dominant second half. The Packers offense simply wore down the Rams with a constant barrage of runs and short pa ses. ( Tyler Beede Jersey 16 carries for 87 yards) led a rushing attack that totaled 138 yards and two touchdowns on 35 carries. was also sharp in the second half, completing 12 of 15 pa ses. Rodgers took advantage of the return of , who caught a team-high five pa ses for 55 yards. Before Monday, Doubs hadn't played since Week 9 due to injury. Defensively, the Packers defense beat up on to the tune of five sacks, with two of those coming from .Rams offense sputters with Baker Mayfield.This game marked Baker Mayfield's first start for the Rams and being forced to make your first start in 15-degree weather isn't exactly ideal. With Mayfield running the show, the offense sputtered for most of the night. The offense did show sparks of life at times, but the Rams simply got overwhelmed by a Packers defense that sacked Mayfield five times while limiting the Rams to just 156 yards of total offense, which is the lowest total ever under Sean McVay. , who totaled 100 yards on 15 touches, was one of the few bright spots for the Rams. With the lo s, the Rams are officially eliminated from playoff contention, which ties them with the 1999 for the earliest that a reigning champion has ever been eliminated.Packers keep faint playoff hopes alive. If the Packers want to have any shot at the playoffs, they had to win this game, and that's exactly what they did. At 6-8, the Packers are now 10th in the NFC and they'll have to move up to seventh if they want to get in the postseason. The first thing they'll need to do is win out, which won't be easy with games against the , and . However, the Dolphins are on a three-game losing streak and those final two games are both at Lambeau in January, where the Packers have a huge home-field advantage. If they do win out, getting in becomes a realistic po sibility. The 7-6-1 currently have the seventh-seed, but they still have to play the , and , so getting to nine wins will be tough for them. The 7-7 are playing the this week and that could mean an eighth lo s for them. As for the 7-7 Lions, if they lose to the Packers in Week 18, that means they can't do any better than 9-8. It's a long shot, but the Packers are certainly still alive.We talked about those three things and to be honest, we spent most of our time talking about that last thing and whether the Packers actually have a shot at the playoffs. If you want to listen to the rest of our recap, . You . 2. Prisco's Power Rankings heading into Week 16The AFC is taking over Prisco's Power Rankings this week. With the Cowboys falling out of the top five, the AFC now has three of the top four teams in the rankings. With that in mind, let's check out Prisco Trevor Gott Jersey 's top five heading into Week 16: Chiefs (up from No. 4 last week) (up from No. 5 last week)49ers (up from No. 6 last week)Dropped out: CowboysI'm not going to spoil the rest of the power rankings here, but I am going to give you a few nuggets. Here's what has changed since last week:The biggest jump this week went to the . Following their wild win over the Cowboys on Sunday, Prisco vaulted them up SEVEN spots from 24th to 17th. The Jags (6-8) have put themselves in a position to steal the AFC South from the (7-7), who are ranked 13th.The biggest jump in the NFC went to the New York Football . After watching the Giants beat the Commanders, Prisco moved them up five spots from 16th to 11th. If the Giants can win just one time in over the final three weeks, they'll become a near lock to make the playoffs.The biggest drop this week went to the Patriots. Prisco doesn't like watching undisciplined football and what the Patriots did against the on Sunday might have been the most undisciplined football of all-time. Following their shocking lo s, Prisco dropped them five spots, from 15th to 20th.As for the bottom of the rankings, the are in the cellar this week, but just barely. If they had been able to upset the Chiefs in Week 15, Prisco might have moved them out of last place, but instead, fumbled away the game on the Texans' first po se Mike Gerber Jersey sion of overtime, which wasn't overly surprising, because that's exactly what a team ranked last would do in that situation.If you want to know where your favorite team . If you want to argue with Prisco over his rankings, you . I argue with him all the time about everything.If you want more rankings, we also ranked the top NFC wild-card contenders and you can check that out by. 3. Breech's Week 16 picks: and Giants both get big winsIf it's Tuesday, that can only mean one thing: It's time for my weekly picks.Last week, not only did I correctly predict that the Lions would beat the Jets, but I also predicted the exact final score of the game (20-17) in what I will just a sume was some sort of Christmas miracle. Speaking of Christmas, most of this week's games will be played on Christmas Eve (Saturday, Dec. 24). There will only be three games played on Sunday due to Christmas, so mark your calendars accordingly.Anyway, here are three of my picks Aramis Garcia Jersey for Week 16: Jaguars at Jets (Pick'em) (Thursday, 8:15 p.m. ET,Amazon Prime):The Jaguars are 0-10 since 2018 in games where the kickoff temperature is under 50 degrees, and it's supposed to be 47 degrees on Thursday night. I said this last week when the Dolphins played in Buffalo and I'm going to say it again this week: I don't trust Florida teams in cold weather, especially when they've lost 10 straight games in cold weather.PICK:
