| Euphoria14 said: I was also hearing rumblings that the Pats might be a 3 point favorite in the Superbowl, but I want to know why that is. Giants beat up Atlanta, then went on and beat the 1 and 2 seeded teams in their own buildings. Patriots beat up a bad Bronco team and beat Baltimore, who happens to be the ONLY team over .500 that New England beat this entire year. Then there is the fact that the Giants beat the Pats this season. Oh well, Giants seem to do better anyways when they are the underdog. |
That is the most annoying stat used by anyone in arguments against the Pats. The Patriots beat 6 teams this season that went 8-8, all of which would have had a winning season if the Patriots had lost to them (heck some they beat twice). Not to mention many of the teams the Patriots beat had a winning record and were on hot streaks when they played the Patriots, only self destructing after they played the Patriots (this could be due to Bellicheck being so good at exposing teams weaknesses that other teams take advantage).
Finally you being a Giants fan should know better than anyone that the regular season has no bearing on the outcome of a game in the playoffs
