I agree and disagree.... Packers should have built up around Rogers better and that is not solely McCarthy's fault.

********

WDF is up with the Panthers? This is getting concerning.... and losing Olsen for the year doesn't help chances down the road.

Patriots are the only consistent team on the league. Another Super Bowl is coming, no one can stop the great territory of New England.

Much of the blame goes to former GM Ted Thompson. Refusing to take part in free agency, lackluster drafts the last several years. McCarthy did the best with what he had.

That being said.

His play calling and game style was getting stale & flat. Like the old saying, he needed a change of scenery.

Mark Sanchez going into the game for the Redskins.... oh boy.... Hope no butt fumbles....

So much for being the next "hot assistant" head coach candidate......

just saw Josh Gordon facing wait for it yet another indefinite suspension.....

So much for the Patriots now IMO....

But, but Lamar was the future of the entire league

WOW..... that Eagles/Bears game.... that just happened....

Double doink! Honestly what a game. As an Eagles fan I am certainly shocked that we snuck out of there with a win... let alone even get into the playoffs. The story of St. Nick keeps on going.

Only in the twitterverse.

Indianapolis getting exposed today as frauds.

Maybe folks will quiet down a bit on Andrew Luck. Good QB, yes. One of the best ever like media folks try to make him out to be? Hell no.

Anyone who thought the Colts had a legit chance of going into Arrowhead the way the Chiefs had been playing and win was a fool to begin with.

Cowboys got brought back to Earth even if the game was a lot closer at the end that it started out as.

I have no idea if the Rams have it in them to beat the Saints or the Eagles.

I want the Chargers to win on Sunday just so the Pats can get sent packing but would I put money on it? NO.

I think the Saints get the Eagles...but with that Foles playoff magic they Eagles are riding..... it could be a interesting game.

First off, I am 1000% willing to give Tom Brady, Bill Belicheck(sp?), and the Patriots their just due.... but DAMN IT.... again....


Chiefs D gave up so many 3rd and longs in that OT period....

Good to see KC comeback though....

Not me. I'm so tired of the Putzriots. 9th Super Bowl Appearance and 3rd consecutive for Belichick/Brady combo. Both these guys are taking Geritol and yet no one can seem to knock 'em on their asses. That phantom roughing the passer call against KC was an 'effin joke. Whatever. Go Rams!

The Patriots get free penalties EVERY game...

Remember last year vs. Pittsburgh and the NON-game winning TD catch? That play gave the Patriots homefield advantage in the playoffs.

And if you watch the games vs. the Titans and Jaguars in the playoffs last year, you start seeing flags when the Patriots start getting behind.

This year, a bogus roughing QB call and neutral zone infraction helped get the Patriots to the Super Bowl. There is consistent reffing-bias

So why even play the ref-rigged games? Just advance them straight to the Super Bowl every year

Quote:You read that right: the Patriots opened as underdogs.

This little run as a dog didn't last long: the line quickly moved to Patriots -1.5 at many sportsbooks, including the Westgate SuperBook. The line fluctuated back and forth between Patriots -1.5 and Patriots -2 in the initial minutes following New England's win over the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.

If the Patriots close as underdogs, it would be the first time they've held that distinction in a Super Bowl since the last time they played the Rams, way back in 2001 at the very beginning of their dynastic run of success in the NFL. That was Tom Brady's first year as a starter, when the Patriots shocked the Greatest Show on Turf to win Belichick and Brady's first Super Bowl.

The over/under is a bit shocking as well: it's set at 58, which would be historically high. The Patriots-Falcons matchup several years ago closed at 57 points. The next closest over/under was 56.5, which was when the Colts and Saints met in the Super Bowl following the 2009 season.

Let's look at the lines for the other games:

Patriots (-4.5) vs. Eagles: The Pats were big favorites against Nick Foles, which, well, we learned is a mistake. Never bet against Nick Foles. The Eagles won outright in a wild game.

Patriots (-3) vs. Falcons: One of the greatest comeback games in NFL history, the Patriots were down 28-3 and stormed back to not only win but cover the spread.

Patriots (PK) vs. Seahawks: Another incredible game, one that ended with a Malcolm Butler interception of Russell Wilson and could have swung either way. Obviously the Patriots covered and won.

Patriots (-3) vs. Giants: Part deux.

Patriots (-12.5) vs. Giants: The original, modern David-Goliath situation, with the Giants taking down the undefeated Patriots team.

Patriots (-7) vs. Eagles: Belichick vs. Andy Reid, a game that featured the Eagles storming back late and covering despite a dominant performance by the Patriots.

Patriots (-7) vs. Panthers: A slow-starting game that ended up being a wild matchup between the Pats and the Panthers that had a ton of swings late.

Patriots (+14) vs. Rams: The Greatest Show on Turf looked like a dynasty in the making and the Patriots knocked them off to start their own party.

Super Bowl Favorites Again

I had forgotten about that underdog line back in 2001...

All class...

You know it's Super Bowl week when you can watch a 13 minute video of the Patriots plane landing in Atlanta...
