Size, Speed, ability to separate, one of the best route runners in the game and one of the best set of hands in the game. It's not even arguable.

SkippyX Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Its hard to judge a players ability when they fail the availability test. Watkins is fast, dangerous, a TD threat, etc. He is not elite. His career highs are 1047 yards and 9 TDs He has 85 yards in 2 playoff games. He can get behind you like DeSean Jackson but if Watkins and Jackson are elite then you just mean NFL talent elite or 1 of 25 fast guys elite.

Playing up the whole "us against the world" schtick or the "bet against us" (Pats are taking 71% of tickets on the ML at William Hill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBLIII Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Chiefs are favorites among Vegas, fans, media and experts. So not sure why the Patriots aren't allowed to play the underdog card when they are in fact underdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Third Rider Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 The Pats are underdogs for sure. The gripe is that they are not underdogs by a significany margin which is rubbing people the wrong way because they think they don’t deserve to play that card.

Tex Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Since we're down to Friday now, I'll make my pick. As I said earlier Arrowhead is such a tough environment. With the Chiefs having virtually everything going for them and the Patriots (aside from last weeks performance) not having much going for them, I'll take the Chiefs. I do think it can be close and if I had to choose between taking the points and going against it, I would probably take the -3. Just a gut feeling. I still have the winner of this game winning the Super Bowl in Atlanta in two weeks. I think the Chiefs are in a great position to do that. It would be a great story for Reid to finally get that monkey off of his back and be able to retire at some point saying he won at least one NFL Super Bowl.

Also, Vegas is saying *technically* (heavy on the technically) that they are even teams. Home field gives 3 points. I don't think we are saying they aren't literally underdogs, it's just this "nobody believes in us" schtick which is simply not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
