The Tom Brady Effect On Super Bowl 50 Lines
Whether you love him or loathe him, there’s no denying that Patriots future Hall of Fame quarterback Tom Brady increases his team’s chances of winning it all, simply by being on the field. Brady finished fourth in passer rating (102.2) and third in passing yards (4,770) not to mention the fact that he’s also the most accomplished passer in postseason history, having won an insane 72.4 percent of his playoff starts while compiling a stellar 21-8 record. Brady looked like the league’s MVP for a long time this season – until his offensive weapons started dropping like flies. Still, having Brady on their sideline gives the Pats a great chance of winning it all.Bill Belichick
Again, it doesn’t matter whether you like Bill Belichick or despise him like your worst enemy, the fact of the matter is that Belichick is the best head coach in the game today and will have the edge over any other coach he goes up against in the postseason. New England has gone 8-1 in divisional-round playoff games under Belichick when they get a first-round bye like this year.
