    New England 23 Arizona 21 (at Arizona)...2pt victory
    New England 30 San Fran 17 (at San Fran)...13pt victory
    New England 26 Rams 10 (at New England)...16pt victory
    New England 16 Denver 3 (at Denver)...13pt victory


    Atlanta 38 Arizona 19 (at Atlanta)...19pt victory
    Atlanta 41 San Fran 13 (at Atlanta)...28pt victory
    Atlanta 42 Rams 14 (at LA Rams)...28pt victory
    Atlanta 23 Denver 16 (at Denver)...7pt victory

    what exactly does this info mean?...well if you use the old rule of thumb that homefield is worth (+3) points, then we can make the following adjustments:

    Pats over Cardinals = 5pts
    Pats over San Fran = 16pts
    Pats over Rams = 13pts
    Pats over Broncos = 16pts

    add the four totals up and then divide by 4 and you get 50/4 which means Pats adjusted average margin of victory is 12.5pts per game

    Atlanta over Cardinals = 16pts
    Atlanta over San Fran = 25pts
    Atlanta over LA Rams = 31pts
    Atlanta over Denver = 10pts


    add the totals up and then divide by four and you get 82/4 which means Falcons adjusted average margin of victory is 20.5pts per game

    so 20.5 - 12.5 = Atlanta by 8 over New England in the Superbowl!...Falcons win 31 - 23!....

    Pats heavy in motivation and experience. Bill and Brady going to their 7th SB together. They know not many rounds left and the Goodell edge adds on to motivation. Bill loves the challenge of Preparing for the hottest offense and Brady will use challenge of beating mvp Matt Ryan. 2 qb led teams but one has a great defense and strong secondary. One coach in league for 2 seasons while other in 7th superbowl. One team excellent for years, the other had a great year. For these and many other reasons, i'm on the Pats and Brady aka the G.O.A.T. They'll just call him "Five" after he wins this one cause no other qb has ever done it. Come to think of it, his coach is the G.O.A.T too. So the reason to take the Falcons is a hot offense??? Nah....

    Yes, because the Falcons aren't motivated by the fact if you find any article about the Super Bowl it has a Patriot plastered on there as the main picture.

    Precisely why I scoff at those that insist on making this Super Bowl bet their biggest bet of the year, this line is a coin flip (unless we see a -2.5 )

    List is updated. Will continue to update throughout the day.

    If you are non-pro, and I never heard of you, I did not add you, sorry.





    LT, I am not confident at all. Not at all. But I am probably going to put all my winnings for football season on Pats moneyline. Why? Because I gamble.

    Hate the Pats. Would love for the birds to do a flyby shit on them. Betting heads on coin flip. Over at the start
    and can watch the game w/o throwing shit at the TV.

    This is dodgy logic. Might be elementary school level.
    Not only that but Brady didn't even play in 25% of the games.

    Pats win easy.

    except for the fact that I'm one of the best cappers on this forum and actually bet real money and post tickets!...and have had winning threads on here for years...all validated and verified on SBR.......PS..and just so you know, the only game Brady didn't play in with common opponents was the Arizona game...he played in the other three that I mentioned...for you to bring that point up is borderline kindergarten level....
