I've got theories, but I grew up in New England, so it might be biased from what I see on facebook.

I'm curious why people here hate the patriots?

Note I am NOT a patriots fan, so you won't hurt my feelings. :cheesy:

[tsptalk]

I'm curious why people here hate the patriots?

I'm from New York, and a Jet's fan. Need I say more? :sick:

[nnuut]

I don't HATE the patriots, I'm living in GA and like the FALCONS!!!

NOT MY SUPERBOWL! I will not let the Pats or Falcons divide us! GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! Obviously the super bowl was rigged with a holding call after the Chiefs tie it up with the 2. NOT MY SUPERBOWL!!! now where is my playdough and my safety pin?

[tsptalk]

I hear only 33% of the bets went on the Falcons so far, yet the line on the game never moved off of -3. Sounds like the big (smart?) money is betting on Atlanta.

For the record, I went with the dumb money and bet on the Patriots. The reason? I think Brady realizes, at 39 years old, he won't get many more chances, if any. This is it, and add to that the suspension to start the season and he seems to be on a mission to stick it to everyone.

As stated in a prior post, I am not a fan of the Pats at all and would have preferred to root for the Falcons, but Brady and Belichick are tough to bet against.

I also took a bet that a field goal will be made before a touchdown. At +150, I like the bet. At even money it would have been a decent bet but +150? Couldn't resist.

I too would like to see the Falcons win, but you can never count Brady out. :D:1244:

[Minnow]

As I've mentioned several times... born and raised in GA... long suffering Falcons (and all Atlanta sports) fan...

It looks like it's their year....

[tsptalk]

Predictions?

I'll say Patriots 37 - 27 (the kiss of death for the Pats). :684:

[RazorCat]

Falcons - 34
Patriots - 27
Should be a good game.

[Frixxxx]

Patriots - 31
Falcons - 13

[Minnow]

Patriots - 31
Falcons - 13

You're dead to me now.... (just kidding)... I hope you're wrong.

[Frixxxx]

You're dead to me now.... (just kidding)... I hope you're wrong.
Me too! I want a Falcon blowout! (Hope you still like me now?)

[Minnow]

It's all good, brother!

[remark]

With a game ending, winning field goal;

Falcons 31
Patriots 28

I despise Brady and the entire Patriots organization. I do admit they are one tough team and will probably have the upper hand, however even though the Falcons beat by beloved Packers, I am behind Atlanta all the way. I may have to take a TSP loan out on Monday if the Yankees win :worried: or make a over/50 catch up deposit if they lose.:laugh:

[tsptalk]

If you're at work you may not want to open this, but here's list of the many prop bets available...

Super Bowl Props & Bets (http://www.oddsshark.com/super-bowl/props)

I like these...

"WHAT COLOR WILL THE LIQUID BE THAT IS POURED ON THE WINNING COACH?" :laugh:

"HOW MANY TIMES WILL TRUMP BE SAID DURING THE LIVE BROADCAST?" Over / Under 1.5

[burrocrat]

I'll take the Pats -3. Silver coin on it? :beerchug:

[burrocrat]

I'll take the Pats -3. Silver coin on it? :beerchug:

so that means subtract 3 points from patriots total? and then compare scores? i'm not a very good sports bettor.

[burrocrat]

ok i googled it. i'll take falcons at +3.5. one shiny tsptalk silver coin if you're game.

[burrocrat]

ok i googled it. i'll take falcons at +3.5. one shiny tsptalk silver coin if you're game.

that means as long as falcons don't lose by more than 3.5 points, i win? am i understanding this right?

[tsptalk]

No go on +3.5. No casino is offering that.

At -3, if Pats win by 3 it's a push / tie.

So, I'll give 3, no more, if you're interested.

[nnuut]

All those Falcons eat Boiled Peanuts, they CAN"T lose!40631:D

LOL. That article has a link to the Super Bowl Indicator, but it goes to the wrong page - a swimsuit model and the economy page. :)

I posted that indicator link in another thread the other day... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl_indicator

[k0nkuzh0n]

I don't know enough about sports betting to put money on the line, but it seemed the Falcons scoring first bets were pretty good odds... there is a very high chance the Falcons start with the ball, as the Patriots almost always defer to the 2nd half if they win the coin toss.

[PessOptimist]

Thanks Tom for keeping us up with all the important TA stuff!:laugh:

[RazorCat]

Kickoff should be earlier. 3:30 - 4:00 would be perfect. Party started at 1:00. The keg is starting to float a little.
The pre-game filler gets more and more over top with each passing year.
Ga-Ga gets the Mute button at halftime. We'll watch her shake her moneymaker overdubbed with some a Led Zeppelin, or maybe some Chris Stapleton. Need to air out my Klipsch speakers.
Enjoy everybody!

Just making sure you see this before kick off, burro. No bet since you haven't confirmed the 3 points.

I agree kickoff should be earlier since many need to go to work tomorrow. Are you talking EST?


43% of coworkers have requested tomorrow off. I expect another 14% to call in sick. Maybe a new paid holiday is needed called "superbowl Monday"?

Enjoy!

[burrocrat]

oh yeah baby! thunderbirds flyover! woot, woot!

[burrocrat]

ha! classy, bush tosses the coin. them boys around him ready to kill anybody gets out of line, unlike that head gal from denver office. this is falcons game.

[burrocrat]

[burrocrat]

[burrocrat]

how much do you have to pay to get a whole team to do nothing in the second half?

[nnuut]

One Hell of a game, congratulations to the Patriots!

[burrocrat]

i am canceling my nfl game pass subscription for next year. cox cable has wwf wresting on for free and it is less predicatable. plus they hit each other with folding metal chairs.

[tsptalk]

Wow!

[RazorCat]

Congrats to the Patriots organization. Brady and Belichick (and Kraft) have proven to be the best all-time in Super Bowls.
It had to be sweet revenge getting that trophy from Goodell. And then Kraft had a few choice words.
Classy, we'll run organization.

If I had known that the Patriots were Trump folks I would have backed them instead of the Falcons. I had no idea.

According to the Super Bowl Stock Market Theory, a win by the champion of the National Football Conference (NFC) predicts an up year for the stock market, while a victory by an American Football Conference (AFC) team indicates a down year.

Believe it or not, the league affiliation of the winning team has correctly predicted the direction of the Dow Jones Industrial Average in all but eight Super Bowls.

It might be hard to believe, but this wacky indicator has been accurate 37 out of the 45 years the Super Bowl has been played. That's a record of 82.2 percent accuracy since the very first Super Bowl in 1967.


A PATRIOTS WIN (AFC) MEANS THE STOCK MARKET WILL END LOWER THAN IT STARTED THIS YEAR.

well thank dog, at least the lefties can't blame it on trump or 8 years of zero interest rates and doubling of the national debt.

When this theory is wrong, it's wrong big time. In 2008 the NFC won and the S&P dropped 38%. In 2013 the AFC won and the market went up 29%. No thanks. :eek:

You got the wrong hombre then. I'm no sore loser like a bunch of folk running free and posting on forums like a bunch of crazed dogs.
Besides, as good as the Falcons look, we're liable to be playing for Super Bowl trophies for a few years to come.
