I agree. I think this on paper could be a close game.
The Patriots are always good in the playoffs, Belichick is very good a scheming.
My concern from the NO fallout is that the Rams DB's are going to be watched closely for contact ect while the Patriots wont be so much, (that would imply a bias and I'm sure the League has no such thing, therefore it's just a Fans thought bias!!!)
I'd Love Blowout win for the Rams........ can relax more watching end of game
But a good close thriller is also exciting.................... as long as they win!
