    Tom Brady's TD/INT ratio plummeted last time Edelman was out.


    • Since 2009, Brady’s win percentage with Edelman has been 81.8 percent. Without Edelman, Brady’s win percentage drops to 68.4 percent. His touchdown-to-interception ratio also drops from 4.9 to 1.7, according to ESPN.

    I have the Pats in this game too, but I feel it will be a closer game than most people think.

    Very much this. I think the Patriots will probably win.

    However, if anyone is going to bet Chiefs' moneyline they may as well parlay it with the under; because the Chiefs' passing offense won't be able to keep up with their starting runningback out. Only way I see them winning is by stopping Brady(they now lack Edelman).

    well, in his defense he was 6-2 ATS on the road last year

    BigBus, the pod-cast guys were laughing about this game, too. How can it be that ez?

    60min later, Alex Smith was the one laughing.

    I've made a similar comment. There is value to Contrarian-handicapping.

    Think about how many tickets Patriots loss killed. -8.5, 6-pt Teaser, Moneyline.

    The Patriots have been a consensus play for 10 years, they are 60% against the spread and contrarian handicappers went broke last year, you have to handicap the games, blindly fading the public is a loser.
