YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Assuming no injury to Brady - looking at this year's version of the Pats...would you put your money on them, or the entire rest of the field? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Too much can happen. Best bet is the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Pats for me...I think that this may be their best team (outside of maybe 2007). A lot can happen but all things being equal I'd give them above a 50% chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Murica Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I have this weird feeling we will see another Pats vs Giants SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Clearly the field. The Pats last two SB wins only happened out of sheer stupidity ( by Pete Carroll and K Shanahan respectively). The odds of one of the other 31 teams winning are a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Pats look great on paper, but everyone is gunning for them. I think Brady takes a step back, maybe even gets hurt. Hopefully the Bills sack his ass 7-8 times and knock the snot out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Pats, every year everyone thinks it will be different and the Pats will regress, then everyone else folds around them ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Too many variables, I'll take the field. But I agree Pats are loaded for bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJ's Glove Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Always take the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) I have this weird feeling we will see another Pats vs Giants SB I would actually like this because it seems that's the only time the Pats lose...that being said I will take the Pats over the field...it's just too easy for them to win the division, get a first round bye, and home field throughout the playoffs...once they have that, it seems like it is a foregone conclusion.

YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 I think I'm going Pats. They are that much better than everyone. No weaknesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If half of my family was not Giants fans I wouldn't mind it as much, but, they are and I don't care to see Eli raise another Lombardi trophy.

OJ's Glove Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Even if the "in the know" has the Pats at 30% to win 52 (which is absurdly high), that means they think it's 70% someone else wins it. Always take the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) I think I'm going Pats. They are that much better than everyone. No weaknesses. That's where I'm at. They are a lock for a bye and almost certainly a lock for homefield. They basically have to win 2 home games in which they will be a one score favorite and a neutral site game with the same spread.

Watkins101 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The one time I bet on a football game it was the bills vs. pats and I bet on the bills. That was the game that the bills win 34-31 with the bills picking Brady off four times. So, hopefully if I bet against the Pats now, my bet will come true.

Always take the field. This. Just a matter of odds. What happens if Brady gets hurt week 1? What happens if one of the games they lose is in the playoffs? Too much can happen. Having said that if I put money on 1 team no doubt the Pats, and I think they will win it again, wouldn't put my money on it though if a even bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I hate to say it but I had to take the Pats. I don't think there's any team as talented as them from top to bottom in the league right now. Alot can happen so it's not a gurantee but as much as it pains me to say this they are probably my favorite to win the SB going into this season *submits post, slowly steps away from computer, starts praying for a Tom Brady acl injury* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) I think other teams can match or exceed in talent at certain positions but what the Pats have is not only experienced, talent-rich starters but absurd depth. It's a long season and every team has injuries, fatigue - they will be least affected by this because they have so much depth. I think I also read that they have like the 3rd easiest schedule. Because of course they do. The only injury I think really impacts them is Brady - but that's why this assumes he's healthy for the duration. Jimmy G could likely win a few if he's out but if he were out for the season I wouldn't think Jimmy wins the SB.

It's a long season and every team has injuries, fatigue - they will be least affected by this because they have so much depth.It's a little like the Warriors or the field last year. On the outside it feels like the smart money is on the field. A lot can go wrong. The thing is that there isn't another team close to them at the moment. Of course they can lose but they will be the favorite in every game that they play potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
