3.5 seems to be the consensus now. Personally I think the dirty birds have an even chance of winning this thing.

The Pro Bowl was actually fairly competitive this year. It didn't seem like many really mailed it in like they normally do. It was the best Pro Bowl I can remember, though I only watched it passively.
Pro Bowl has went from something a player could be proud of and a vehicle to showcase their talents, to being just a dog and pony show....no substance. That's just my view, I'm sure others think differently.
I like what Dan Quinn has done with the Falcons. They were well prepared for the Packers but the Pats are probably the toughest team to prepare against. The Pats mix up their game play so much you don't know if they will focus on running the ball or passing whereas the Packers pretty much passed on every down. I like the Pats to win but wouldn't be surprised to see the Falcons win. How is that for hedging my bet?

Yeah as I mentioned before moving it before the SB is such a horrible idea. I like how literally 85% of the players when mentioned was followed by an "Alternate" designation.
NHL does it much better now a days
I put some money on the Falcons. I really think the Pats will have a hard time with them. I think this will be a good one.
Kinda funny and ironic.
Contingency plans to bring Raiders to San Diego, if Las Vegas plan falls through.

Wanna make a bet ?
Bumbed that T.O didn't make it. They're pulling a Irvin on him. Next year Ray Lewis and Urlacher as first time guys who are just about guarantee 1st ballot and Randy Moss is up for the 1st time.
I didn't think Davis would get in. 5.5 years isn't a hall of famer in my books.
Not like TO was using steroids or anything? Who in their right mind could keep him out of the Hall? Insane.

Worst snub ever. I saw that Lynn Swan is in. That's the worst thing I've ever seen.
Shame so many are incapable of separating their personal feelings long enough to really look at the merits and vote accordingly. I personally have no love for Owens but, his stat's on the field speak for themselves; he should be in the Hall.
Worst Super Bowl ever!!!
Horrible game
Horrible commercials
Horrible half time show
Complete let down
Quoted from yuriijos:

Fair enough. The only commercial i liked was the yearbook one. Lady gaga, whatever. Game sucked until now. My bad.
One more thumbs down and i get kicked out...
Quoted from chuckwurt:
Haha. Patriots are pulling some desperate shit now. Pretty comical.
Hahahahahahahah
Quoted from chuckwurt:
No way Pats come back from this. Impressive preparation by the Falcons.
Hahahahahahahah
Quoted from taylor34:
Superbowl overtime rules are awful. Why is it different from the regular season?
Same rules ,TD on first possession wins it. If field goal, other team gets a try.

The only difference is there cannot be a tie.
As a Vikings fan, growing up the Patriots were a joke and the 49ers were the greatest. I remember when a rookie Drew Bledsoe kicked our ass and i was worried, he was the real deal. Then some joker picked some clown named Tom Brady to start over him. I laughed.
Whoops
