First nfl game I've watched all year, ..no doubt JAX had the best compilation of players, but NE pulls another one out. Congrats to the bettors that took the points, great move. You got the better team of players, and weren't affected by Brady / Belichek Magic.

Fun game to watch.

Yup. blew it the 4th with predictability. Fournette getting stuffed on first down (multiple times) was not the way to go ......you need first downs and New England is weak on pass defense. teams never learn. they blew the field position and practically gave that game away. the passing misdirection was gold and they wandered from it, thought they could run every time........took no chances, didn't trust the QB......game over. But New England is no super power either, they were exposed against a young, offense deficient team. They better have a better game on defense next time. Punting from deep in your territory is just asking to get beat. Played sacred, took no chances until they fell behind and made some terrible penalties on key plays.

Great call. Thought you were full of it until about three hours ago.

The Pats are like Dracula you have to put that stake in the heart then burn them in the sunlight. If not they just rise back up and beat you.

Patriots have dominated hardly any opponents this year, too many close games against mediocre teams.But the SB is one game and anything can happen-just ask the Giants.

I don't know why the Eagles are not favored, really.

This line drops and not because of crazy Eagle fans or an 'injury' to Tom Brady that was over-the-top and poorly reported -- the Eagles are simply a better team!

Boomer Esiason on WFAN just said Tom Brady's hand injury required 14 stitches.

My bad, not over-the-top but the reporting in sports, politics, everywhere is still so very poor and unprofessional, sad to say.

Great call Thask.

If I may borrow a "Serlingism", the Patriots are all dressed up. They are the equivalent of a horse who was lone speed on a rail biased track. It was a terrible setup for Jax, yet they clearly were the better team for at least 3 quarters. Two keys enabled the comeback: obviously the conversion on 3rd and 18 was huge, but Miles Jack, one of the top defensive players in the league, was out injured for the Patriots' final scoring drive. Dareus was also out on part of that drive.

Did Jax get scared in the 4th quarter? Probably. But one bone to pick with on Jax play caller and Bortles: why didn't Bortles run/scramble more? His scrambles have been one of the best offensive weapons all year for the Jags.

There will be a strong sharp/square divide for the SB. Sharps will be on Philly, squares will be on New England.

If one likes Philly, no point to bet at 5 1/2. Got to hope it hits 6, but if its falls to 5, the difference between 5 and 5 1/2 is negligible, as its not a key number.

If one likes the Pats, they probably should bet now and not risk laying 6.

Just as the home team automatically gets 3 points, the Patriots seem to be getting three "rep points".

If the Patriots do win, I see this as the last roundup.Brady has shown signs of age and the Pats have annihilated very few weak opponents this year, as they usually do.McDaniels and Patricia are gone after the SB, so now you have to find two new coordinators.The tension between Bellichik and Kraft doesn't help matters any.A great run but everything comes to an end.

They like bowls on the half shell. No pushes

i don't know who is going to win this game, but i highly recommend you bet the Pats -4 before the line shoots up to 6 or more.
