I think there are some huge surprises in store for many this year, not the least of which would be all those cocksure individuals whose psyches will be crushed should the Pats lose.


In fact, I have had the ridiculous notion floating around in the back of my head for a few months now that the Pats won't win the SB. I'm probably wrong, often am... but I can't ignore the feeling that one of the other teams are going to step up and blow everyone's mind.
That will make for one hell of a debate amongst sports people if the Pats go undefeated in the regular season and then lose in the playoffs.
If they win 17 games before they lose does that make them equal with the 1972 dolphins?

Heavily favored home teams seem to get beat in the playoffs every year. When Indy comes to town with their whole team healthy it's gonna be one hell of a fight. That game might get better ratings than the super bowl this year.
