Well its been almost a year since I posted here but I wanted to return to do my favorite strategy for nfl betting,,,fade tom brady in the big game. what people fail to realize is that brady is not the same QB that he was 10 years ago, leading his team to victory in the final minutes of superbowls. sure, he now sometimes is clutch these days in regular season games, but he has been choking his ass off every post season since 2005. don't think so? lets look at his last 3 afc championships:
2012 vs ravens: 29 for 54 completions (54%) 1 TD, 2 INTS
2011 vs ravens: 22 for 36 (61%) 0 TDS, 2 INTS
2007 vs chargers: 22 for 33 (67%) but only 209 yards, and 2 TDS, 3 INTS
it gets better. lets look at his overall playoff performances since 2005 in crucial situations:
2005: lost @ denver in divisional round and went 1 TD / 2 INTS (threw a INT on his last possession!)
2006: lost @ colts in afc championship and went 1 TD / 1 INTS (that INT was on the final possession!!)
2007: won vs chargers in AFC championship but: threw 3 frickin INTS!
2007: lost vs giants in superbowl and threw 1 freaking TD with that so called greatest offense in nfl history BS / 1 fumble lost / sacked 5 times / and went 3 AND OUT on the final possession!
2009: lost vs RAVENS in wild card round and: 2 TDS / 3 INTS / 1 fumble loss that led to a raven TD
2010: choked his behind off in divisional round vs jets and LOST. dont think so? lets look that that important drive in the 4th quarter of that game when brady got the ball for the first time in the 4th quarter and needed to bring the pats back. ok, 5 mins to go and on the jets 31 yard line. ok, brady sack, brady incomplete pass, then another brady incomplete pass, then a pats punt, then ANOTHER BRADY LOSS!
2011: went 0 TDS / 2 INTS vs ravens in afc championship and had no business winning that game. disagree? did you guys see his pathetic safety in the superbowl 2 weeks later vs giants when he threw out of the end zone to no receiver in the area? did tom brady lead his team back in that game? no
the last part is me copying and pasting from my post last year on 1/22/13, when I asked the same ? of "Are you guys that confident in Brady?" so don't get caught up in this brady BS hype. he has not been the same QB since they took away his coaches video camera in 2007.
