Bedford Roughyed Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Which Foles will turn up? Minnesota v New Orleans is an absolute belter of a game. Unless Pittsburgh fire in attack and play man coverage v Brady (and rough him up a bit!) it's a Minnesota v New England in final at Minnesota. Woof!!

westside Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I like the look of the Saints. They could make a run I think. A confident Brees is one of the best in the biz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think a few weeks ago prior to Carson Wentz getting injured this would of been a no brainer - the Eagles looked great. Now Atlanta seem to be putting together a run at the right time and are getting their key guys like Julio Jones fit. Be very close I reckon, maybe just a touchdown or less in it.

Irish Saint Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Instant Karma. When his team kick a field goal to go 24-23 coach of the Saints turns to the Viking fans and taunts them with the "skol clap " unfortunately there was 25 seconds left.... https://www.dailynorseman.com/2018/1/15/16895528/trol-karma-comes-calling-sean-payton Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

What are everyone's predictions for the championship games? The Patriots will win the AFC and although I would like to see the Vikings win and play a home Super Bowl I have to go for home advantage with the Eagles.

Robin Evans Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Patriots have a fragility about them.... but I wouldn't back against them. When it first hit our screens in the strike ridden 82 season.... John Riggins n'all that... I formed an attachment to new England. They were sheeite.... and although they got to a superbowl from a wild card spot they got thumped by Walter Payton et al. So to see them develop into the force they now are takes some digesting. I remember when they had to field Steve grogan at QB and everyone said he was way too old. Brady is about 8 years older? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, they're perfectly placed as the team everyone loves to hate as the other 3 have never won a league. You have to fancy a New England - Minnesota final.Minnesota playing it at home makes it a 50/50 game. Day off booked - the wife took me to Bangkok to watch it last year. Aiming for a similar weekend.

Robin Evans Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 They were very shakeyat the beginnng of the season and have big misses in Julian Edleman and Dont'a Hightower. They won some squeakers this year on the back of Brady's throwing .... games they could easily have lost. Patriots record this season should not be as good as it is.... it's testimony to their resilience that it is. The issue is there is no other stand out. The Steelers imploded.... again.... and Rotjlesberger had a mare last weekend. Jax have their tails up. Can they replicate what Miami did when form suggested otherwise?
