Superbowl LI: The Road to Houston, Texas

Sin e.

Receiver was down, I thought.

Earl Thomas is the Seahawks’ best player.

Fair play to Atlanta, they will take a bit of beating in the championship game. Hopefully Julio is OK.

There’s something wrong about taking a knee at 1st and goal.

No point risking injuries, the game is well won.

I’d be a masochist. Stick the fucking knife in. Make a statement

The statement was already made.

Ive gone in deep Pats - 15

Safe as houses.

some stuff on ESPN during the week:

BILL BELICHICK HAS OWNED THE TEXANS
In eight meetings between these teams, Houston has just one win, which required a 21-point fourth quarter to rally from a 14-point deficit in 2010. In the other seven games, the Patriots have won by an average of 18.4 points. (ESPN Stats & Info)

MASTERS BEAT PADAWANS IN PLAYOFFS
Both of Saturday’s games will feature a head coach (Dan Quinn and Bill O’Brien) against his former boss (Pete Carroll and Bill Belichick, respectively). In the last five such postseason meetings, the mentors have beaten the proteges by an average of 18 points per game. (ESPN Stats & Info)

A PLAYOFF MISMATCH OF EPIC PROPORTIONS
The Westgate Las Vegas Superbook pegs New England as a 15.5-point favorite over Houston. In the last 40 seasons, only three times has a team been favored by more than 15 in a playoff game. All three favorites won and covered. (ESPN Stats & Info)

Home teams are 5-0 in play offs so far, margins of victory: 13, 20, 18, 25, 16 points.

This is a damning statistic and must change…

Pats to win but feck it we need a close playoff game.

Im not gone on the way they expect the pats to win easy.

We got lucky there… We will do well to win this one
