I'm a Patriots fan (living in Houston, no less), and it's driving me crazy that everyone - along with every sports commentator here - is handing this one over to the Patriots before it's even started. It's one thing to predict that the Pats are going to win; it's another to declare that this will be a second bye week for them (I'm talking to you, Shaughnessy).

I heard an interesting stat tonight... of all teams that have won by more than 28 points in the regular season against a certain team, when playing that same team in the playoffs that same year, the overall record is 11-11. So as I see it, the Pats still have (according to normal odds and historical statistics) a 50/50 chance of winning the game.

It's the playoffs, people... anything can happen.

But of course, I'm still cheering on my Patriots

i was soooooooooooooooooooo sure the Broncos were gonna win vs the Ravens. I was in my room with the baby for the last few mins. I STILL don't know what happened.

Next week they know better to let an upstart beat them.

I like Tony. I hope he finally gets his ring. That's my fave fantasy football TE.

LOL YES. The amount of shit that was being talked on twitter SECONDS before Jacobi Jones caught that pass for a TD among other things made the weekend that more crazy.
