I’ll go Packers 26-20 and Bucs 28-24.

Yeah yeah yeah NO destroyed TB twice, but it’s hard to beat a team three times in one season, plus it’s not like Brady hasn’t been here before. We saw with Ravens/Titans that previous matchups don’t always matter.

I will be all over the Saints. I am not buying the Tampa momentum hype and fear of old man TB12. No idea on the Packers. I would probably lay the seven with a gun to my head, given all of the Rams injury issues.

It’s not hard to beat a team three times in one season.

Teams playing for a third time when they are 2-0 are 20-12 in the playoffs. That is a 63% winning rate.

Anyone actually have the numbers on this when a team is 2-0 against another team and they play a third time?


ETA: Thanks.

Well considering those teams were 64-0 against those teams coming into the third game, yeah I’d say it’s a bit tougher. Plus all of those teams had home field advantage, Saints won’t have that

Dude we’re literally cherry picking a stat where a team has to be undefeated for it to qualify. Obviously the resulting answer will be worse.

I like both underdogs outright. Rams defensive line will be the difference.

The Saints are going to frick up the Bucs.

Now, it will probably only be like 23-13, because the Bucs have a good run D and Drew Brees is a shell of himself, but I fully expect the Saints defense to be all over Brady.

The rams are a threat but the nfl is jacking off to a Rodgers vs Brees/Brady matchup

No way the nfl lets the rams win this game

I wonder what the comparison winning % is for teams that are 1-0 vs their playoff opponent in the regular season.
