The NFL playoffs are in full swing ... which means it's time to make some freakin' money.

Here's pro sports bettor Brandon Lang with his go-to bet of the Divisional Round ... and he's expecting a high-scoring battle between Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and Cowboys rookie Dak Prescott.

Boxing superstar Gennady Golovkin ain't brushing off the possible Conor McGregor vs. Floyd Mayweather fight ... saying the UFC star has a REAL chance to win.

Golovkin joined the guys on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs Friday night on FS1) and warned Mayweather not to underestimate the Irish champ.

Floyd Mayweather is shooting down Dana White's $25 MILLION offer to fight Conor McGregor ... saying simply, "You're a f**king comedian!"

Earlier Friday, White appeared on 'The Herd' on FS1 and made the official offer for the fight -- $25 mil each plus part of the Pay-Per-View profits.

Floyd was clearly INSULTED by the offer and told us to look at his watch ... a limited edition Hublot Laferrari which usually starts around $220k and can run up to around $350k.

The message ... Dana's number is WAYYYY too low.

Back to the drawing board.

Soulja Boy needs to clear the air about boxing Chris Brown -- telling us exactly why he's fighting, how the match will end ... and about his struggle to put down weed beforehand.

Soulja sounded focused and pumped about training when we got him Friday at LAX. He says there will definitely be a knockout ... no matter what Mike Tyson says.

He says last he heard -- from Floyd Mayweather -- the fight's happening in Vegas or L.A. ... but Soulja's just getting back from Hong Kong, and we're guessing he missed the update from Wack 100 that it's moving to Dubai.

Soulja also had one final message for Chris, and it's a little hard to believe.

Jerry Rice's daughter, Jaqui Rice, is one step closer to playing pro football -- she just got an invite to the L.A. Temptation mini-camp ... after impressing coaches at last week's tryout.

The 29-year-old has never played competitive football before -- but looked good running routes and showed some solid hands (runs in the family) during her workout for the Legends Football League.

Rice say she's "super stoked" about getting the invite to mini-camp ... but knows there's still work to be done.

"On to phase 2 of making the team!"

We previously spoke with Jaqui about her foray into football -- she says she got the right genetics.

Dana White just made his first official offer to Floyd Mayweather to fight Conor McGregor ... $25 MILLION EACH ... plus a Pay-Per-View split.

White just made the offer on 'The Herd' on FS1 -- after Mayweather claimed to have offered Conor $15 million.

For the record, White says Floyd never officially made that offer ... but his offer to Floyd is REAL.

Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers is torn about the team's decision to relocate to L.A. ... saying he's still numb from the news and that "it hasn't really settled in."

Rivers -- who's spent his entire 13 year career in San Diego -- gets emotional talking about the move, saying he's sad to leave the city ... but hopes fans still cheer for his team.

Dallas Cowboys DB Orlando Scandrick has a pre-game ritual that powers him up before a game ... he bangs it out ... so says his fiancee, Draya Michele.

We got Draya & Julissa Bermudez leaving Catch in L.A. when we asked her what the rules are on pre-game lovin' in the Scandrick-Michele house.

Some athletes -- especially boxers -- say a little booty weakens the knees ... and with a HUGE playoff game against the Packers coming up on Sunday, the Cowboys need all knees strong.

Draya promises Cowboys Nation her man will be tip-top, because she says their lovemaking is the magical elixir behind Scandrick's success ... and he dips into that elixir before every game he plays.

Check out the below vid ... you'd play better too.

Macklemore LOVES the Seahawks ... LOVES 'EM ... and he's got some musical advice to help them beat the Falcons this weekend -- BUMP RICK JAMES IN THE LOCKER ROOM!

In fact, the rapper specified which song they should play ... and it's an interesting choice.

Jay Cutler -- party guy?!?!?!

The Chicago Bears QB seems to be loosening up and having some fun on his wife's 30th birthday vacation to Mexico ... even taking a half-open shirt pic with Kristin Cavallari's hairstylist, Scotty Cunha.

Kristin made a cheeky comment about Jay's shirt on Instagram saying, "Hangs out with the gays once."

FYI, Scotty is kind of a big deal in the beauty world ... he's also part of the Kardashian glam squad.

The gang is currently hangin' in Punta Mita ... boozin' and beachin'.

Enjoy!

Jessica Chastain should quit her bitchin' about birth control costs and start preachin' about abstinence ... so says Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza.

Garza -- who has 6 kids -- went after the "Zero Dark Thirty" star after she tweeted about a Senate vote this week that struck down an amendment requiring insurance companies to pay for contraceptives.

Chastain wrote, "#BirthControl is no longer covered by health insurance. Congrats USA, you're doing your part to keep women out of the work force. #smfh."

Garza no likey ... and responded, "It's called abstinence, a word that has been forgotten amongst this generation... it's the best contraceptive... #juatsayin."

Soulja Boy is no Glass Joe -- Chris Brown won't be knocking his ass out in the 1st round ... so says Brown's coach Mike Tyson.

Tyson gave his fight prediction for the big celebrity clash between Chris and Soulja -- and he gave Soulja A LOT lot more credit than most people are giving him.

Tyson thinks there will be some real "scrappin" when the two throw down -- and predicts a great fight.

Floyd Mayweather says he'll be right in the middle of the action for Donald Trump's inauguration in D.C. next week ... telling TMZ Sports he's already got his tuxedo picked out!

Dominick Cruz says even though he lost to Cody Garbrandt at UFC 207 ... he's still in his head, claiming the new champion can't get on with his life because Dominick is still haunting him.

Cruz co-hosted with the gang on the "TMZ Sports" TV Show and talked about his rivalry with Garbrandt ... one that you'd think would've ended after Cody got his hand raised.

Turns out Cody is still thinking about Cruz -- including when we saw him on the street in NYC today -- which Dominick says is because he knows no one cares about him without Cruz in the mix.

Vince Young will NOT do any jail time for his 2016 DWI arrest ... but he will be on probation for the next year and a half.

The ex-NFL star was finally sentenced for his Jan. 24 arrest in Austin -- when cops say he was drifting across traffic with a blood alcohol level THREE TIMES the legal limit.

Now, we've learned 33-year-old Young cut a plea deal with prosecutors in which he pleaded no contest and in exchange he got 18 months probation and 60 hours of community service.

Young was also ordered to install an interlock alcohol monitoring system in his car for 9 months.

NY Giants WR Victor Cruz says he's not worried about Odell Beckham after his post-game hole-punching meltdown ... telling TMZ Sports, "He'll be back better than ever next year."

Cruz also says any insinuation that the famous boat party before the Packers game contributed to the loss is absolute crap.

He is, however, rooting for the Packers moving forward ... explaining, "You always wanna root for the team that beat you."

As for whether Cruz will return to the G-Men next year ... "We'll see."
