Alabama getting pumped 44-16, great stuff! Surely game over!

Hoping Bears are the new Tottingham Hotspurs ground.

Not seen the Raiders before either.

Oh and, come on the Rams.

Bears v Raiders for a H&V NFL meet up ?

[The Left Side]

I am not the best expert on the NFL but it seems a little crazy that the overtime coin toss is the most crucial part of the game when it ends a tie. Up here in Canada the CFL at least gives both teams a chance to score in overtime, if the team that has the ball first scores a TD then the opponent has to match it. They then try again and again until a winner is found, you match it or better it you win... you don't match it you lose, simples!

Sounds good to me. If I can actually get tickets this year. They as a nightmare last season, I gave up.

It'll be worse with two games at Spuds (assuming the ground is ready). Could be 20,000 seats less than at Wemberleee

Yep, the NFL didn't go far enough when they changed the rules from 'first score of any kind wins' to the current setup.

It's certainly better than it was, but still not entirely fair. I would just have it so that it is five minutes each way. Then, if still level, and it is a post-season game, Two Point Conversion Shoot-Out.

Is it a repeat of the 2002 Superbowl?

I remember being a 19 year old exchange student in Michigan, getting my first taste of watching a Superbowl on US soil.

I was amazed that the TV commercials were of more interest to most people watching than the game itself. And the match, because of the adverts, seemed to go on for ages.

I fancy the Rams to beat the Patriots this time, however. How good is Brady, though.

Mon the Cleveland Los Angeles St Louis Los Angeles Rams.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Need Gurley to play a lot better than he did against the Saints and for the Rams to stop the run and pressure Brady.
