Expert explains how two unlikely teams landed Super Bowl berths Before the season, both the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots were expected to win only 8.5 games, according to Virginia Tech sport media analytics expert Matthew Zimmerman.

@virginiatech.bsky.social As a Virginia Tech faculty member who has also wondered how the Patriots are in the Super Bowl but the #BuffaloBills aren't , let me add one more explanation ... IT WAS A CATCH!!! news.vt.edu/articles/202...

Peak PI performance.Get lab shitty Dunkin and they're gnawing on 'em and thinking what a great PI they have. Meanwhile said PI is sitting in his car eating Paula's and happy that lab morale can be bought with just cheap ass donuts. And here's evidence, DD (left) vs Paula's (right)

Early in the game or even in place of a run play and to stress and spread the defense, all good reasons. All in all, this is a great explanation for fans and I agree with a lot of this #buffalobills #joshallen #joebradyCredit: @thebuffalopod @ewood70

I never thought I'd hear a Republican make a more compelling case for mail-in balloting.

You think it’s easy to NEVER accomplish anything? Take it from me, it’s not as easy as it looks

Oh I don't know.. maybe laying off tens of thousands of the Commonwealth's citizens wasn't particularly well received by the voters?

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE Katz's Deli. But the idea that a Katz's SuperBox served during a Patriots game would taste as good if it were the Bills playing in the Superbowl is just wrong.

Bills promote OC Joe Brady to head coach on 5-year deal The Bills have promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach on a five-year deal, the team announced Tuesday.

Yeah, it's probably the most underwhelming hire they could've done. On the bright side, we won’t have to cringe if the bills would win a superbowl and get invited to the trump White House www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

I feel like this a Chan Gailey like hire. And the pics support that hypothesis
