I liked it better when they picked against us.

I agree with Bedard for the most part except he is selling our offense short relative to the Seahawks.

We have more dangerous options than they have, and given enough time by the OL Brady will find them.

I did my own Madden simulation.

Results:

Game will freeze in 2nd quarter at 5:33.

Surprised that out of 9 ESPN picks entered so far only Golic and Allen have picked Seattle. I like it better when they hate us and it skews their judgement.

Huh?

Tonight on "Inside the NFL," Phil Simms picked the Patriots. So did Boomer Esiason and Brandon Marshall. Ed Reed went with Seattle.

Different Simms I would guess

It was Chris "Tom Brady is not a top 5 NFL QB" Simms.

Interesting.

As of the time of this post, if you look at the pickers who were right 50% of the time or more this season, they pick Seattle by 24--22.

But, if you just look at the pickers who were right 67% of the time (two thirds) or more this season, they pick the Pats 11--5.

Not sure what that means, but it's at least "interesting."

Mike Reiss and Russell Baxster pick Pats by same score, 23-20.

Keyshawn picked us. We are all set.

Isn't that what almost happened two years ago.

On NFL AM Greg Olsen & Le'Veon Bell picked the Pats
Luke Kuechly picked the Seahawks
**** Vermeil went with a tie game (or one that will come down to special teams)
Didn't catch who Drew Brees picked, was only half paying attention at that point

Ugh..I suspect everyone is going by the facts that "they are going rally" around the controversy.....

he probably picked seattle as wilson is closer to his height

Demaryius Thomas and Joe Montana picked NE.

Thomas must despise Seattle

I like Joe Montana even more now.

BTW Montana said he is actually pulling for Seattle (because his wife is involved in charities with Lynch) but ultimately thinks NE will win.

They are only experts at picking. Not actually being right lol. If the pats come out all hands on deck this will be there game to lose, lets hope the CBS majority vote here is accurate and TB gets his 4th ring.

the biggest thing to worry about in this game are the refs. i fear they are going to mount us and f--k us out of this game.
