RAMS VS. PATRIOTS: There's no need to wait around two weeks to put a bet in. MEGA Write-UP!

I am now convinced that you merely have to be LUCKY enough to be on the right side of the bad calls to eventually win. I've been reading this in here for years, and fought it. NOW........ I surrender!!.

Saints game, forget about the missed PI call.

Saints go to OT, win the coin flip which should be huge, and then fuk themselves by turning the ball over, they deserved to lose and blaming the missed PI call as a reason why you lost your bet is just an excuse to cover up for your lack of capping skills.

Chiefs game, forget about the phantom roughing the passer call against Brady.

The Chiefs allowed the Patriots to shut them out in the first half of the game, control the time of possession by a factor of 2, convert 68% of 3rd downs, run twice as many plays and sack your QB 4 times while not sacking Brady once.  Chiefs deserved to lose that game and anyone familiar with the matchup was able to predict the winner pretty convincingly. Home Field Advantage for Kansas City was grossly misrepresented given they lost to the Chargers which the Patriots just dismantled and only having 1 win against a semi-decent team, the Ravens, and a bunch of wins against mediocre sub 0.500 teams. 

I respect your analysis and insight and write ups and have followed your bets a few times.   I must say like a lot of people i despise NE .  With that being said i will not be betting against them because i just feel they are destined to win it this year and that the Rams have no hope in hell but i am glad you think the Rams have a chance. I will just sit back watch the game and hope they somehow beat these fukers with no money involved!

Great writeup thanks.

One more positive for the Rams is Suh.  He's playing like a dominating player, the old Suh.  He is playing like a game-changer.

You would think everyone is on the Patriots.  The main thing for the public is going to be Goff vs Brady.  You can't go against the GOAT.  Plus Belichik, how can you go against a genius like that, the best coach in the NFL.  

Game stats (incredible):

Rams 378 yards, Saints 290.  Yards per play Rams 5.6, Saints 4.5.  Rams better.

Patriots 524, Chiefs 290.  Yards per play Patriots 5.6, Chiefs 6.2.   ???

SO, you look at he Patriots game and they had 235 more yards, and yet less yards per play??!!  The Chiefs were the better team but got thoroughly OUTCOACHED.  You're talking about Reid calling a timeout before the 1st half, costing them 7 points.  That was a crushing call.  Belichik duped Reid into the Pats saving a timeout.  You can say well, the Pats got lucky.  Is it luck or is it Belichik?

Look at this stat:

Patriots # of plays 94, Chiefs 47.  Pats had TWICE the number of plays than the Chiefs had.  They got to play the same hand twice.

Patriots 3rd down efficiency: 13 for 19!  Chiefs?  4 for 9.  Chiefs couldn't get off the field 13 times!There is no team in the NFL, all season, that hit 50% on 3rd down conversions.  Chiefs play man for man defense, they were on the defenders but for whatever reason could NOT stop these guys.  Some insane catches and plays-will the Patriots have that same intensity for the Super Bowl?

McVay said Gurley should be ready by the Super Bowl.  He says he wasn't injured but I wasn't born yesterday.  Gurley was on the bike and stretching, so it had to be an injury.

Belichik vs McVay, no question Belichik is the better coach.  No question Rams are the better, more talented team.  The question again is by how much.  Reid got his coaching credentials handed to him last game, and he knows it.  He's going to be unable to sleep well in the near future.

Brady and Edelman's whole "world thinks we suck" angle you would think is gone for this game.  Patriots are favored.

Rams were lucky Sheldon Rankins was injured.  And yeah, they should have lost that game.  Does the NFL want everyone to forget about that play, if so is the fix to be in for the Pats?

Telling is the Super Bowl interviews where they interview player after player.  You can get a good read on how the players are feeling.

Agree with you the right play is the Rams, but what if the line gets to 3.  Will everyone be feeling comfortable with that if you're on the Rams, knowing they're asking for Rams cash.  Why not wait, think about it, maybe change your mind, because you can get +2.5 or maybe +3.  It's not headed back towards the Rams/PK unless truly large heavy and sharp money comes in, and lots of it, because you'd expect a ton of Patriots public money coming.

Should be fun before the game. After the game we'll see.   Good luck fellas.

Wasn't this attention seeking fraud on KC vs New England.

hey scalabrine,i just saw that play on brady...now as you know,im not a football guy and obviously the defender barely did enough to startle a fly...but in the rules is there an allowance for technicality??like,if you simply make contact,of ANY SORT,in a certain area (head or mask)then it must be called by refs??or is subjectivity written into it??i know we have it in rugby and it is maddening the stuff you see sometimes,instead of engaging the brain and using common sense referees are instructed to strictly enforce certain rules in the name of player safety and what-not....i can see the bigger picture in that regard but it does make a mockery when an action during a tackle would barely knock the skin off of custard and yet the defender is penalised.
