If you believe the Patriots have a final run in them, this is the time to buy them. Coming off back to back losses, before they instill confidence back in the public by beating the shit out of the Bills and the Jets and getting the #2 seed after the Texans blunder in the final two weeks.

I don't trust an Andy Reid team with a young quarterback in a playoff game against Brady. KC is a great team, but they've lost their three biggest games this year. And as good as Mahommes has been all year, and for the majority of those close losses, he has made some costly mistakes. I'll take Brady even if it's in Arrowhead.

The Chargers are a better overall team than the Patriots, but again I trust Brady and Bill to get it done in a cold game in Foxborough (assuming KC gets the 1 seed and the Chargers advance to that point).

Pittsburgh is a talented group, but history shows us that going to New England in January doesn't bode well for them--and their coach is deficient to the point where he can single-handedly lose you a game .

I really don't see any of the other potential playoffs teams as a threat. The Texans are...well....the Texans lol. Indy is playing well, but they're way too dependent on Luck. It seems like they go as he goes (see the last two weeks). Baltimore has had a more versatile offense without Flacco, but can you imagine Lamar Jackson going into Gillette Stadium and getting a win? Seriously?


As for the actual Super Bowl if they get there...well...anything can happen.

It may all backfire, but I think it's worth taking a shot.


5 units apiece

Patriots to win AFC at +325

Patriots to win Super Bowl at +700

There’s not winning a SB this yr. I’ll put my dick on a block over it. I’m about 85% confident they’ll never win another with Brady.

It has been hard to bet against the Patriots when it is "crunch time" in the NFL.....Perhaps that might be the case this year as well but, this year it seems the NFL has a different look in 2018, not only do the Patriots not "look" like a Super Bowl contender, the Rams looked like 14 point underdogs while getting manhandled by the real 14 point underdogs the other night.

There have been other teams that I'm certain feel they have a shot at winning all the marbles regardless of how bad they played during a few of their losing efforts. A few Examples of teams who might be feeling cautiously optimistic:

The Chiefs, Chargers, Texans, Colts, Steelers, Rams, Ravens, Bears and the Cowboys and perhaps a couple more feel they have a shot at the title . This year, more then the past several years, there doesn't seem to be a consensus, clear cut favorite out there.

Worth taking a shot with the Patriots ? Heck yes........Good luck with your plays, there will be a lot of gamblers right there with you.

Great take.

I may feel differently if I saw a clear-cut favorite out there. I just don’t see it. I see a lot of teams that are better than the Patriots, but I can’t trust any of them

I can bet you right now if Saints play the Pats that Saints win in a route

The likely 3 seed, to win the AFC, at barely more than 3 to 1?

Could hit, hope it does, nothing in the way of value here though.

New England is not going to Super Bowl this year! It very well could be Pittsburgh that goes. The NFL is funny and mysterious on how things shake out!

The NFL wants a LAC vs LAR super bowl. With all the fires happening out there this year, this will make a happy ending.

Nope, Rams aren't going

Possibly Saints Chargers with Chargers coming out on top. Or Saints Steelers? #1 Seeds have won past 5 SBs...it's possible they win another? But highly improbable lol

Steelers cant get there. KC and SD are the best to get there imo. SD has the far better defense so they are the front runners. (I know they are in LA now. They're still SD by habit).

Team is too slow across the board to win 3 or 4 straight in postseason but I don't dislike the bets.

Appears the Pats dynasty is coming to an end as far as SBs. They still have enough to win East for a few more seasons but ring 6 for TB12 won't happen with the current roster.

Still a lot of games to be played and every contender is 1 major injury away from becoming an afterthought.

This KC team might be different than other Reid coached teams. Mahomes is just a phenom. Pressure doesn't seem to faze him and he has enough pure talent to overcome Reid's playoff derps. The post Hunt hangover is still lingering. To me there is a big drop-off between Ware and him.

Not Sure Pittsburgh will even make it ? They lost some games along the way they should have--- won may have cost them a place................

I haven't seen any line movement since the Gordon news broke out this morning. Figured it'd at least affect the Buffalo line a little bit this week. It may get down to 12.5 or 13. Good week to pound the Patriots I think. Then again, I thought last week was too lol
