    Amazing the job they did this year. I did not think that the Pats had a shot after the game vs Steelers. Unbelievable.

    The odds for the Pats to win were literally 1.78 or -128. You shoulda hit that like I did. How are those bad odds?

    I got them to win by 7-12 @ $5.50. I just wanted a bit more value.

    I was convinced it was going to be a Saints/Chiefs Superbowl and I have had a lot of money riding on this whole season so I covered myself before the Conference with a "Saints to beat Rams" bet which I got at 12.5/1. My only regret is only putting £10 on it!

    lol the haters must be sick this morning. This run the Pats are on will never be duplicated again.

    Unreal

    Don’t love the Celtics or Bruins chances but the C’s I think make it deep and could definitely see them making the Finals.

    I will forever laugh at any other city fan base outside of Boston that considers themselves “The City of Champions”.

    Gilmore should’ve won MVP. Dude was lockdown all night. Boring game imo, but I guess it was cool to see something different. Lowest scoring super bowl ever.

    I missed out on like $200 cuz I bet the over lol, but got every other bet on Yahoo fantasy slate right.

    Haha, the only reason I wanted more value as mentioned prior was because I don't know the sport that well and only putting $20 on I'm not going to waste my time putting $20 on to get like 35 in return or something doing a head-to-head bet.

    How come you regret only putting $10 on that bet though? Isn't that good? Didn't those two bets not happen anyway (Saint/Chiefs SB and Saints beating Rams)? I'm below even a casual fan so forgive me if it's a stupid question ha or I've misread (it's 9AM here and I'm about to start work so not with it yet). Do you mean Rams beat Saints?

    Before the 2 Conference games, the least likely outcome of the 2 games was a Pats Vs Rams Superbowl with the Pats to win. Hence why the odds were so high. My £10 turned into £125. If I had put £100 it would have been £1250. So yeah, I was covering my arse and it paid off. Just not enough! :emoji_wink:

    Just goes to show how great Belichick is at scheming man. If you watched last night’s game, Patriot players were all over Goff. Not even letting him breathe. It wasn’t because patriot’s pass rushers were beating their man consistently but more so because of the various stunts, twists, delayed blitzes etc that Belichick had drawn up.

    Hightower was MVP, and it wasn't even close. Gillmore did a great job, but Hightower was unreal. I knew he wouldn't get it though. He's the best linebacker in Patriots' history and I don't think it's even close.

    Brian Flores was the one who changed the defense, not Belichick. He went up to Belichick and told them they needed to reinvent the defense.

    Pats ran a soft zone defense since the departure of Eric Mangini (since about 2005). A lot of "bend but don't break" philosophy.

    Flores was responsible for the defensive line doing twist pass rushes, blitzing linebackers, and the linebackers walking around to create disruption for offensive lines blocking schemes. Their entire strategy had to do with confusing the offensive line's pre-snap reads.

    I love Belichick but it was all Flores.

    This is why I hated Matt Patricia for so long. Dude is so overrated. Flores is gonna be missed in New England, but I hope Belichick keeps his approach, because the Pats defense should be even better next year with Bentley coming back.

    Dude turns into Ray Lewis every time they make the SB. He would’ve easily won it if he made that INT or ended up saving that fumble before it went out.

    I actually said that to my friend lol. Notice once he came out for like 4-5 plays, the Rams could run on the Pats defense, then he comes back in and they can't run lol.

    The last 3 Super Bowls he's played in (he missed the Eagles one) he has made game changing plays (tackles Lynch at the 1, strip sacks Matt Ryan, and the big game he had vs the Rams).

    I really can't wait to see Juwon Bentley and Hightower playing together next season. Bentley plays a lot like Hightower.

    The reason this Pats team was able to win in the playoffs were how belichick schemes and created pass rush. They were getting to the QBs in every single playoff game. No clue how he turned the pass rush from like a 4 to a 10 against the best teams and coaches in the league
