NucksPatsFan Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 16 hours ago, c00kies said: To be fair, these odds are a little wonky because of the current matchups. For example, the Steelers are low because they play the Patriots now, so it's unlikely they win the SB because they don't get there. If the Steelers did win, they might be favored over the Falcons (who might be higher because they are expected to beat the Packers). Additionally, despite the odds, if the Steelers and Packers make it to the SB, they might actually give the Steelers the edge despite the current %. This is because they really don't see the Steelers beating the Patriots, rather than the Steelers beating the NFC team. It's true, all based on match ups, but pretty neat to see the Falcons ranked to have the 2nd highest current Super Bowl odds. I'm happy for Matt Ryan and that team. Wish Gonzalez was still around in some capacity. Assuming we get by Pittsburgh, neither NFC team is one I have any ill will towards and would care on a personal level to beat (like Seattle). Would be great for Ryan to finally shut up his critics and get a ring, and can't have anything against Rodgers getting another ring (plus him and Tom are great friends). But of course, most optimal would be ring #5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Undrafted dude that just worked hard and made an nfl roster as a starter. He was actually a really good inside linebacker. Only 24, sad story. Just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wish there was a game today. Is this new, did they use to put one Conference final on the Sat or were both on Sun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, they can't allow one team an extra rest day, even though both teams get the extra week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that it's a holdover from back in the day when there wasn't an extra week between the Conference championship games and the Super Bowl. Now that they have that extra week, I doubt that it would be much of an advantage to have that extra day. I bet a lot of people would love to see a Saturday game as well as a Sunday game.

Worked pretty much his entire life to play football at this level and to have his career cut short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen81 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 On Zach Orr... So this one guy on my hockey team we always poke fun at him cuz he always seem to draft guys or trade for guys who end up having some serious injury or retiring early or something else. He's had Crosby during his injury riddled years, he had Peverly when he collapsed, he had Craig Anderson who's wife has cancer and so on. In our football pool(which he won this year) he had Zach Orr as we use IDP. He sent a message out today saying at least he goes out as a champion. It took me a few to realize what he was talking about as I was thinking Ravens sucked this year. Anyways go Steelers and Falcons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealth actually gave him a stay of execution and he went right back to baiting and name-calling. Edited January 22, 2017 by RUPERTKBD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
