  • SuperBowl LI

    So I saw one for last year and said what the hell it is just a few months away. I am hoping for a Raiders and Seahawks Superbowl.

    I have faith the Cowboys will make it. I like the Seahawks, they've had a solid year and Rawls being healthy is huge now. But the Cowboys are 11-1 for a reason - the youth takeover of Dak and Zeke.

    The Patriots would be a good matchup, but it's tough to see who will come out of the AFC.

      I also think those two Rookies will be the downfall of the Cowboys come crunch time against the big boys in a big time situation. That is why I am going with the Seahawks. I also think the Patriots are a great team as usual, but I am sick of them being there.

        There's no way I can see Elliott crumbling under pressure. The offensive line is the best in the league. He has a very good chance to finish the season with 1500+ rushing yards, and could realistically finish the season with 1700+. He's had so many big plays this season and is so skilled, I just can't see him not doing well just because it's the playoffs.

        Dak Prescott I think is more likely to eventually fail under pressure. This is a late draft pick who's playing unbelievable in his rookie season. However, there's been plenty of times where he's been destined to fail and has come up huge. He has a veterans QB mindset already at managing a game and the play clock.

        It will probably come down to the Seahawks vs Cowboys (unless the Lions do some damage, but I really doubt that). As I said, I like the Seahawks. A lot. But they've been heading downhill since the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. They shouldn't have won against the Vikings and the Panthers coasted to victory. Earl Thomas is done for the year at least and Richard Sherman (one of my favourite players in the league) just doesn't seem as dominant as he once did.

          The playoffs and crucial games always seem to have the Cowboys number and that was with a veteran in Tony Romo. Those games seem to do something to just about anyone without the name Tom Brady.

            Really anyone but the Patriots at this stage would be nice.

              I'm not disagreeing - anything can happen in the playoffs. But more often than not, the top regular season teams (to some extent) are in the Super Bowl. The Cowboys, led by two rookies, are relatively unproven. You feel like they'll fail, while I feel like they'll succeed. We also both agree that the main competitor for the NFC is the Seahawks, who have a very good team as well. I guess we'll see.

                That is my main thing for sure.

                  I also feel whichever team (The Cowboys or Seahawks) make it they will lose definitely to the Patriots and quite possibly to the Raiders as well. I just hope it is not the Patriots.

                    Personally, I'm not really sold on the Raiders this year. All of their games they've won have been really close, and some of those were against non-threats. I hope the Patriots lose, too, but they've only lost one game with Brady so we'll see.

                      The thing is in the AFC if it goes through New England it is going to be really tough to beat the Patriots. The only chance the Raiders have against them in my opinion is if they play them at home.

                        I agree. And even then, the Patriots will be the favourites.

                          I think they are the odds on favorite here in Vegas to win it all.
