Can they do it?
The Patriots are undefeated and a serious threat to run the table this year. I compare it to playing the card game hearts. For those that have played it will make sense but those that haven’t the game is pretty simple. You either want all the hearts or none of them. If you get all the hearts then every other player you are playing gets 26 points. You don’t want points in hearts. When a player is trying to get every heart we call it ‘running it’. Others have other terms. The best part about it is usually there is no defense when someone is ‘running it’. That is what the Patriots are doing to teams.
The Pats get each teams best shot week after week and come out shining. They had their closest call against Baltimore but squeaked it out under a cloud of controversy. This week they get the Giants and the tickets to that game are going crazy. People want to witness the Patriots either win and go undefeated or lose and claim they were there when the Pats lost. They aren’t going to lose, not to the Giants. The Patriots are very hungry still and Tom Brady wants to play and he wants to win every game. This cements his legacy and puts him in a class among the top 5 Qb’s to ever play the game. He has a great sense for that and will get it.
After this they will get a bye before needing to win 3 additional games to complete the undefeated season. I don’t think they’ll win the Super Bowl. I think they will run across a team that is going to play out of their heads and beat them. The Ravens have lost 9 games in a row and nearly beat the Pats. I can easily see another team doing that to them but having an offense that can finish them off. The Pats will not win the Super Bowl. I need to go to Vegas and throw some money at this one.
