The only decent game of the entire play offs was GB @ Dallas

Pretty much every other game was a blow out. Extremely underwhelming playoffs
Agreed. Hoping it would be another Texas showdown between gb and pitt.
Playoffs been poor thus far imo.
As an Eagles fan I will shout on the nfc lads in 2wks. Will make my famous spicy sausage dip and a pineapple upside down for a good day with the gang.
Patriots are 4/6 to win the Super Bowl.
8/13 now
Easy interception

More fans bet on Browns to win Super Bowl LI than Falcons
In the offseason, there was so little interest in the Atlanta Falcons that some Las Vegas sportsbooks lengthened their Super Bowl odds from 40-1 to 100-1 in an attempt to drum up some action.
It didn’t help.

When the NFL season kicked off in September, sportsbook operator CG Technology had taken more bets on the Cleveland Browns to win the Super Bowl than it had on the Falcons.
Five months later, the sportsbooks are feeling good about their positions heading into Super Bowl LI.
The Falcons opened as 3-point underdogs against the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. Sportsbooks do well on their Super Bowl futures markets regardless of who wins, but an Atlanta victory would be the bigger boon.
“We took a $5,000 bet at 40-1 on the Falcons to win the Super Bowl,” CG Technology vice president Jason Simbal said. The ticket would net $200,000. “And we still win almost a million on the Falcons. That’s how few people bet them.”
Patriots open as 3-point Super Bowl favorites
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook installed the Patriots as 3-point favorites in the Super Bowl, and the total was set at 58, the highest over/under in Super Bowl history.
While few and far between, there are some other big Super Bowl tickets on the Falcons. William Hill reported taking 184 tickets on the Falcons at odds of 100-1 or greater. And MGM 's sportsbook took 31 bets on the Falcons at 75-1, with the average amount around $70, according to vice president of race and sports Jay Rood.
“Some people have some pretty nice tickets on them,” Rood said. “But we still look great to them.”
The Patriots were the consensus Super Bowl favorites throughout the season and also one of the most popular bets. In September, more money had been bet on New England to win the Super Bowl than any other team at William Hill’s Nevada sportsbook. But the books kept the Patriots’ odds low enough that they’ll still turn a significant profit even if New England wins
Roger Goodell, what a guy.
He’s trying to throw a seam to [Wes] Welker 20 to 30 yards down the field. And the hitch route was open at five yards. Belichick was like, ‘Brady, how long have you been playing? And you’re trying to force the ball to this midget down the field, and the running back is wide open on a 5-yard hitch? It’s first down. Take the gain and move on.’ I remember thinking to myself, I am never going to make the team. If this is the way he’s talking to Tom Brady, I don’t stand a chance.”
Brady is obviously uses his Californian connections to complete another mission for Bill.
You don’t come across as one bit bitter or jealous, mate.
