  • Giants/Pats: The game named after a bouncy ball and obfuscated with a roman numeral

    I like the Pats. Actually, I hate the Pats. I really hope the Pats lose. But I really think they won't. I see this matchup as a classic case of everybody reading waaaaay too much into Brady's poor play in the AFC Championship. As of today, 82% of national pundits are choosing the Giants. That is way too many for a game this evenly matched.

    Pats by 7. Hope i'm wrong.

      Goodell on NFL expansion. I Say add 4 teams. London, San Antonio and two LA teams. Schedule it so that the London team gets 3 byes (start their regular season games in the preseason) and give every team that goes to London a bye after or before the game.

      Have 2 conferences with 3 divisions each. The first 4 teams in each division play each other twice while the last two in each division play the other conferences matching division two teams twice (AFC west plays NFC west). Then every team plays every other division twice.

      NFC West
      Arizona Cardinals
      San Francisco 49ers
      Seattle Seahawks
      St. Louis Rams
      LA 1
      LA 2

      NFC Central
      Chicago Bears
      Detroit Lions
      Green Bay Packers
      Minnesota Vikings
      Tampa Bay Buccaneers
      New Orleans Saints

      NFC East
      Dallas Cowboys
      New York Giants
      Philadelphia Eagles
      Washington Redskins
      Atlanta Falcons
      Carolina Panthers

      AFC West
      Denver Broncos
      Oakland Raiders
      San Diego Chargers
      Kansas City Chiefs
      Houston Texans
      San Antonio

      AFC Central
      Cincinnati Bengals
      Cleveland Browns
      Indianapolis Colts
      Pittsburgh Steelers
      Tennessee Titans
      Jacksonville Jaguars

      AFC East
      Buffalo Bills
      New England Patriots
      New York Jets
      Baltimore Ravens
      Miami Dolphins
      London

          Wow. 34 teams? That is insane. And it relies on LA having 2 teams again. Not going to happen.

          Everyone, what are your thoughts on NFL expansion? I'm opposed but I'd love to hear more viewpoints.

          Also, predictions for next season? I think the Raiders are still going to struggle

                  How do you start London's regular season games in the preseason? Wouldn't that by default make all the teams that play them start their regular season earlier? The NFL has invested a lot into the "Opening Day" aspect of that first Thursday I don't see them wanting a staggered start.

                  I like the idea of expansion, but the reality is that there aren't that many more NFL caliber football players. I also no longer buy into the idea that the NFL needs an LA team. The NFL is the king of the sports world and took that spot over from the NBA without an LA team. I could see them putting a SB there without a team when this fancy new stadium is finished though.

                    I'm amazed so many are picking the Giants. I don't like either team - I hate the Pats more than the Giants, but there is no way in hell the Pats are going to lose to the Giants for a second time this year and for the second time in a Super Bowl. Not as long as Belichick and Brady are there.

                    The Pats will win this game. The only question is whether it's a close game (7 or less) or a blow out.

                      I hate to break it to you but Princess picked the Giants...

                      Princess, the star of New Jersey's Popcorn Park Zoo, has correctly picked the winner of five of the last six Super Bowls. She went 14 and 6 predicting regular season and playoff games this year, and has a lifetime record of 88-51.

                      Her pick this year: The New York Giants.

                          I watched the game at my dad and stepmom's house. My stepmom had a friend and the friend's 9-year-old daughter over. I watched the first quarter, then saw the 9-year-old being bored out of her mind.

                          We played Yahtzee for a little bit, then arcade games until they left at the end of the 3rd quarter. It was a lot of fun.

                              My favorite prop bets:
                              Manning over 21 completions
                              Manning longest completion over 41 yards

                              I still like the Pats to win by 7.
