I was reading a story in the news today by one of the team's beat writers. The upcoming game with the undefeated Colts is the biggest one of the season and has big playoff implications. I don't doubt that. However, I dispute the writer's implication that the Pats should have a record somewhere between 13-3 and 11-5. The Colts record "should be" 15-1 to 12-4.
Anyone can make these types of predictions. He also feels the Broncos will be 11-5 to 10-6, Bengals 11-5 to 10-6, Steelers 13-3 to 11-5 and Chargers 10-6. I guess he's 100% certain on the Chargers and they will go 5-3 the rest of the way.
The Pats have "possible losses" with the Colts, Saints and Dolphins. He assumes the Jets will roll over and play flat. It's not worth talking about Buffalo, Jacksonville, Houston or Carolina. The Pats will beat them. All they have to do is show up.
This is the type of nonsense that Coach Belichick refuses to get involved in. I think It's stupid and moronic to think that the Pats have any wins guaranteed. You need confidence to play in the NFL, but every week there are upsets.
If that writer is such an expert, he should quit his day job and devote his time to betting on the games. He obviously can beat the spreads as well as the "over an under".
