RE: Pick the winners today - Joelist - 01-25-2021
The Bills played like crap and got what they deserved for playing like crap.
Green Bay was in it until the end but they finally did a PI that was pretty blatant and got caught followed by 12 men on the field which really sealed it. Why didn't they go for it on their last drive instead of kicking a FG? They lost by 5 ultimately so they needed a TD either way.

It didn't take long for some analytic guys to say kicking the FG gave them a 3% better chance of winning. They don't take into consideration the game flow or players involved. No way you can convince me that stopping Brady from getting a first down and then going the length of the field for a TD is more likely than Rodgers converting 4th and goal from the 8 and getting the two point conversion.
I even saw Rodgers quoted as saying that he would've scrambled on 3rd down and got them closer if he knew they'd kick on 4th and goal. That's a big wow for me. Glad he was honest, part of why I like Rodgers. Have to wonder how much longer he'll be in Green Bay.
