Incredible fact on 2025 PATRIOTS

They played 18 games. Of the 18 teams they faced, only 4 of those teams kept their coach this offseason.

The other 14 fired their head coach. 

They played 20 games.

They faced 17 teams.

9 of those teams replaced their head coach.

Dolphins

Bills

Steelers

Titans

Giants

Falcons

Do you have anymore revisionist history for Mr. Bator, ActionMag?

Correct and obviously played their division twice. My point is that this Pats team is a mirage.

I dunno, man. Maybe they're not. Maybe the damage they inflicted had something to do with so many coaches losing their jobs. And that didn't stop in the regular season. I bet against the Patriots in two of their playoff games, and both times the team that let me down fired their offensive coordinator two days later, lol. The Broncos actually covered +4.5 for me, but I had much more risked on my beautiful +215 moneyline. And I believe that the blizzard itself is what preserved my +4.5 bet. I think the Patriots would have scored again if the weather hadn't become so horrible.

The Patriots drafted eleven players last year and all eleven are playing for them right now! How can this team be in the Super Bowl? Yet they are, and I think I'm done doubting them. The Patriots went up against the Double Blowout system in their Wild Card game vs. the Chargers and they passed that test like it was nothin'. That was impressive to me.

And another thing. Beginning with the Ravens-Giants Super Bowl played in January of 2001, we've had twelve Super Bowls featuring one team that won their conference title at home facing an opponent who won their conference title on the road. The team entering the Super Bowl off of the road win has gone 9-3 and 11-1 ATS. Will that trend hold up again? Who knows, but it's in play this year and it favors the Pats.

Good luck, MrBator!  

@MrBator

I've been constantly replying to posts about the Pats sos and other doubts, all year.

They've overcome everything this season, and here we are at the SB and people still want to fade em. Mirage, sos, whatever you want to call it.

If you had to guess how many playoff games and SB's Josh McDaniels has been in, what would you guess? How about Mike Vrabel as a player and coach?

Highly insightful stuff here Bator. Still handicapping this game. Was strongly leaning Seattle but have not entered a wager as of yet. I welcome the discourse.

Here’s one for you. Since 2000 favorite of 4.5 + or better in the Super Bowl.

W-L  5-6

ATS 1-10 

@ActionMagnet

 It’s not a mirage for any team to go undefeated on the road. I don’t care who you play in the NFL it is extremely difficult to go unbeaten on the road. Gamblers should know this better than anyone. 

Seahawks weren't too shabby on the road themselves.....

8-1 ATS

8-1 SU 

15-2 SU going back last 2Y under Macdonald.
