I'm on record as going with the Saints and Chiefs, in the Dallas Forum.. I'm sticking to that, although deep down I think anyone who bets against the Patriots is a FOOL..
I may indeed be a fool Chung, but I so desperately want ANY TEAM except the Patriots to win ..... Tom Brady must die .....

you're going with the chiefs/saints pick, so you're saying you're a fool to pick the chiefs instead of the patriots?

Both the Saints and Rams are good teams. I think the Saints get the edge because they are at home.

I HATE Brady, Bellichuck (I know I spelled it incorrectly) and the rest of the cheating, arrogant jerks from NE. That said, I do think KC will be tough to beat at home.

NFC: Rams 26, Saints 23
Everybody's saying the Saints got robbed on that no-call which they did, but honestly the Saints had opportunities for touchdowns instead of field goals. You can't leave a team like the Rams in the game, especially when your defense had trouble stopping both the run and pass! I wanted the Saints to win but when they fell asleep the Rams took advantage. And now they're going to the Super Bowl.

AFC: Pats 37, Chiefs 31
That Patriots played hungrier like they do in most championship games. They came out with their foot on the accelerator. The Chiefs finally got going but their OL plays like the Texans. Mahomes was scrambling for his life back there. Luckily he made some connections, but he would've made more of he had a better O-line. And their defense couldn't get to Brady at all. I believe that was the main difference in this game. Now the Pats are going to the Super Bowl, again.

I'll admit that I don't like the Patriots. I'm tired of seeing these clowns in the Super Bowl every gotdamn year. Unfortunately their turn-up level just went higher and my prediction is they'll win it all because of playoff/SB experience and they're still pissed from losing to the Eagles last year. The Rams might give them a good game, but it won't be good enough.

I just couldn't believe how well Tony Romo was giving us the pre-snap reads that Brady was seeing, and usually predicting exactly what Brady was going to do. Wow that makes the game interesting to see a game from a QB perspective.

Of course, he couldn't predict Mahomes nearly as well, because Mahomes is making it up as he goes. Imagine what Mahomes will be like once he learns to read defenses like a veteran!

what hurt the saints was the interception in the OT game which changed the game tempo.


It was a weird play, watched the receiver stumble and lose balance knocking the the corner back backwards and in the process caught the ball as he landed.
Any patriot fans?
