Did you miss what happened in his only real play-off game appearance?

I don't question that the Patriots will have a more difficult time winning if Brian Hoyer is the qb, but he's hardly some wet behind the ears rookie.He's still the most successful qb the Browns have had this decade.Which isn't saying much, I will concede.

Brady struggles against teams that can pressure him without blitzing. I'll take the Jags and the points.

I listened to both Brady's and Belichick's press conferences yesterday. I feel like I have a lot of information to make a good decision on who to bet on. I like Brady wearing gloves when interviewed. Why the media ever bothers putting a microphone in front of either of those two is beyond me. You aren't going to get any more than name, rank and serial number out of either of them. I don't know who it was but I heard another player interview asking about Brady's hand.
The guy said Brady was so handsome he only looks at his face.

There's been too much late money on the Jaguars so ... I decided to bet the game and give the points.
Patriots defense along with Belichick's preparedness and coaching will stifle Bortles as I mentioned earlier. The popular Jags' run comes to a halt Sunday.
The Pats success will make it possible for the Jags to go after Eli Manning if he parts with the Giants. Bortles needs to win for him just be hinted as an elite or near elite QB. Not happening.
Plus, Brady with one hand, even if it's a throwing hand, is still better than most QBs in the NFL going full throttle.

Agree wholeheartedly with your thoughts on late money, reckless.When everybody runs to the same side of the boat, it usually sinks. I know the NFL is REALLY sensitive to exaggerating or concealing injuries, which is why the Pats are not commenting on Brady's hand.We will know in a few plays how severe the injury, if any, is.

i have a friend that went to vegas to bet the playoffs. we bet the pats the first week and won. the next night the line comes out and we make the same bet -9 thinking the line would go to 11. luckily i only bet what i won on the first game against Jacksonville. they put up -7 and i had to bet whatever i had left on that number.

We'll it was covered but Jacksonville looks pretty good. They must maintain their discipline or they will lose this game.

Bortles is 15/18 for 184 yards...and they won't let him throw on first and second down? The guy calling the offensive plays for the Jags must be an absolute MORON. How can you beat N.E. when you play scared like that? Why sit on the ball with a minute left and two timeouts at the half...after N.E. just scored a touchdown?

Completely changed from last week when they played to win. Not so this week. They played scared in the 4th, the coaches that is.
