As someone who sat through the 7 OT LSU/Texas A&M game, I say you sir/madam, are :doh:

And not because LSU lost. 7 is just too much.

As soon as the New England Patriots beat the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in the AFC Championship game to stamp their ticket to Super Bowl 53, prices on secondary ticketing sites fell. And they have kept falling in the days since.

Across ticket resale sites, average prices for the game this year, as well as “get-in” prices (the cheapest ticket you can buy) were $500 to $1,000 lower on Wednesday than in recent years at this time, 10 days before the game.

In a normal year, Super Bowl ticket prices on resale sites spike after Championship weekend when the games end and we all learn the matchup, and then they start to go down steadily in the week before the game. (The exception was 2015, infamous in the ticketing industry, when the Patriots faced the Seattle Seahawks in Phoenix, Ariz., and demand never waned as it normally does, and many ticket resellers ended up in the red because they had over-sold tickets they did not have.)

This year, prices are already plummeting. On secondary market site TickPick, the get-in price as of Wednesday afternoon was $3,120 compared to the $3,680 at this time last year, and the average price was $5,790 compared to $6,514 at this time last year.

For regular Season, yeah, it should be capped at 3. But for playoffs... let it roll!

I remember a hockey playoff game that went almost 3 full OT periods. The basically played a double header back to back without a break. It was exhausting to watch, let alone play, but the emotional roller coaster.... amazing.

I think I saw that game too, back when I used to watch hockey.

New England is a 2.5-point favorite in the live Patriots vs. Rams odds, up one from where the line opened.

I'm taking the LA Rams for an end to the New England run of luck (okay talent) in the Super Bowl ... didn't they lose last year on a trick play by the Eagles? :o

I'm making my own Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches too, iced tea, fruit cups, chips, guacamole and just me again sigh! :yep:

Here in Denmark the Danish Play(Danske spil) have made a

12 bet coupon.

You have to guess the outcome of each quarter,
How many td each team make/do
Brady Vs the other guy(don't know his name)
And more.

You need at least 10 correct answers (1,x or 2) to get money back or hope you will win some.

That sounds almost impossible to me with two explosive teams like this game offers ... The KC vs New England game was the Patriots 14 to KC 0 at the halftime see what I mean :yep:

Sorry my mistake.
It's halftime and not each one of them. You have to guess who is in lead after two quarter and who will win in the end and all the rest.

Versus: 5 Superbowl Rings and 9 AFC Championships. Haters gonna hate.
