If you look at the matchups, you’ve got to figure that this is one of the reasons teams fight so hard for home field advantage.
Gillette Stadium in January?
Lambeau Field in January?
The Superbowl is Patriots vs Packers.
The sound you hear is the sound of a thousand sports writers swooning at exactly the same time at the idea of Tom Terrific versus Bret “The Legend” Favre.
I’m usually the first to say, “The favorites are favored for a reason.”
Not this time. I’m going all in and saying Brady watches the Super from the skyboxes. Chargers in the upset of the year, 31-27.
If the Chargers win it will be much bigger than the upset of the year. It will be in the top five of all time and right now I can only think of one of the other four, Jets v Colts in SBIII.
I expect the Pats to take care of business. This is Bill & Tom’s Excellent Adventure.
If I wanted to put a dollar down on an underdog, I would put it on Eli’s Coming.
Gambled and lost, Quaker. But one wonders what kind of game it would have been if LT, Rivers, and Gates had been healthier.
Still–the Pats remain dangerous. Brady has a sub-par day, and Maroney and the D elevate. Good luck, NFC.
I don’t know if the Chargers would have won, but you have to believe that with healthy LT, Rivers and Gates it would have been a different game. I really felt for LT having to sit and watch his team go down.
