*** NFL PICKS / SUPERBOWL ***

[Auggie]

The opening line has the Patriots favored to win by 3 points.

I'll take Atlanta.

We'll need a tie-breaker, so I suggest total points scored. I'll guess 65.

My 2017 playoff record is 8-2.

Good luck.

1. Fuck Tom Brady

that is all.

[Bettie]

2. Isn't he the big

cheater?

[edhopper]

10. Him

and his coach.

[Cattledog]

3. John Lewis's nasty district is going to deflate Brady's (Trump's) balls.

[gademocrat7]

8. Amen

Love my Falcons and my Congressman!

[True Dough]

4. I'll go with the Pats

Hate the thought of another Super Bowl ring for Brady/Belichick but they are master strategists and find a way to contain opposing offenses. Expect Julio Jones to be doubled teamed the way Antonio Brown was yesterday.

I'll go with a 31-20 Pats victory (making the total points on the board = 51, even with my bad math I can figure that out).

P.S. My picks to date are 9-1.

[Auggie]

5. Done ...

that gives me the opportunity to tie or win ... or get royally shellacked.

[True Dough]

6. But I can win either way

Even if you're 100% bang on in your prediction and you eclipse me by virtue of the tie-breaker, I will still revel in the Pats going home losers!

[True Dough]

18. Well, Auggie

You were closer in total points but I UNFORTUNATELY predicted the winning team.

I was ready to happily concede at the end of the third quarter, but those damn Pats can never be counted out!

[Auggie]

19. What happened to the Falcon D?

It disappeared.

Anyway, congrats True Dough. You win bragging rights this year.

[True Dough]

20. They'll be kicking themselves

You can be sure those Falcons players, particularly on defense, will be going over that game in their minds (and on video) over and over again.

Must be painful.

Anyway, your picks were solid all year. Congrats to you too. Looking forward to next year. Hopefully Brady retires!

[gademocrat7]

7. Atlanta Falcons

[CanonRay]

9. I just hate Brady and the Pats

but whoever I root for this year, loses. Big. So I'll just STFU.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Pats by 7

More to piss off the haters than anything else!
My team was irrelevant after week 7, so I've no dog in the hunt

[Auggie]

12. Bragging rights count

[PRETZEL]

13. Might as well make this post season a total disaster

New England -3

Points - 58

14. Pats by 6. Nt

[ProfessorGAC]

21. Way To Go Hughee!

I said 7, but they don't kick extra points in OT!

[hughee99]

22. Thanks. It's ironic that they never had the lead for a single second of the game, but this is the

largest margin of victory in any of their Super Bowls.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Yeah, I Found That Strange Too

But, a win is a win, and geez, 5 in 16 years in a league that's been designed for that not to happen? That's pretty odd too.

[hughee99]

24. Yes, and whether people love them or hate them, they have to admit the games are exciting. n/t

[Achilleaze]

15. Pats by 3

Haters gonna hate.

Winners gonna win.

[bluedigger]

16. Pats by 4.

[opiate69]

17. Atlanta, bigly.

38-17. You heard it here first.
