If the Patriots go 16-0..will all of you get down on your knees to apologize to them for saying stuff like that? I am by no means a Patriots fan, but you people always talk about "It's too early to predict who will win the Super Bowl" and all that jazz and yet you're fine with saying that the Pats wont keep doing this. Their schedule is really quite easy if you get by the Colts and I see no reason otherwise why they couldn't go 16-0 if they really wanted to (which I don't know if they want to as much as they want to just win the Super Bowl)
In summery, the Colts are really the only team that can beat the Patriots' starters...otherwise maybe the Giants in week 17 when the back ups get to play...

Um.. Redskins probably won't be able to stop Brady/Moss... The game might be closer because of that new Redskin defense but The Pats' just have to many weapons in their arsenal. The team to give them a loss might be towards the end of the season where coach might rest his stars. Believe it or not, the 49ers might have a chance (no offense to fans). They play the Pats' in week 17. I say the Patriots will got 14-2 maybe even 15-1 but i really believe 16-0 is a bit far off. Maybe it's because i've never seen a 16-0 team in my lifetime and don't know what to expect but personally I can't see them going that much.
Redskins probably won't be able to stop the Patriots... look at the wins they've had. No defense has been able to stop them.
Looking forward to the Pats/Colts game.. GO PATS GO

Pats 1st loss comes from a Manning ,but hold everything not the Manning that spends more time making commercials
the younger Manning
The Patriots will Have the Home Filed thru out the Play-off wrapped up by week 14 so Don Shula and the 72 Dolphins can sip champagne week 17 because the Giants will get the win they need to get in the Play-offs by beating the Patriots 2nd and 3rd string team

by the way music guy the giants play the pats in week 17 i dont know what schedule youre looking at
feasibly the pats should go 16-0 whether or not they do is another question, i dont see the colts presenting a problem in 2 weeks but maybe later in the year they will rest some of the O like moss and a team will catch some breaks

Its really tough to say. Could the Redskins win? Absolutely! As they have won 6 of the 7 meetings between them since Tom Brady has been at the helm. Will they win? I don't know! One thing I do know: The redskins play very physical on defense! physical enough to cause injuries to the opposition. Last year when the Colts played them I though Manning may have gotten injured! They hit you high, low and everywhere in between! These guy are a fearless bunch! It doesn't take but a couple of good hits on a reciever to make his day go downhill in a hurry! And they will get pressure on Brady! I have no doubt about that! On offense, if the Redskins can muster long lasting drives that take alot of time off the clock plus score: It could be a very long day for the Patriots! You should never underestimate the other teams in the NFL! They are in the NFL because they are Good! The best of the best win championships.

It's not going to be the Skins. Patriots can be expoited with a good run game. Skins don't have it. Besides, those Redskins receivers need to catch a pass if they want to beat the disgusting pats. Pats will lose a game or two. Just not to the Skins

Redskins? I don't think so.
The sky may be the limit as far as Tom Brady and the New England Patriots are concerned, though some pro football observers and analysts say they have "lines" drawn in the sands of their minds they won't cross.
Any good handicapper is also a solid linesmakers, so folks in the business usually share some similarities in the way they fashion personal power ratings.
Everyone knows, for example, that home-field advantage typically is worth a field goal.
Still, there's as much as a 10-point difference in those lines, even when it comes to Mr. All-American Brady and his happy bunch of warriors.
Sports gaming insiders began a public debate recently over "How high is too high?" when the number on last week's New England at Miami game reached Pats minus 17 1/2.
Miami money then bought the number back down by game time.
Las Vegas Sports Consultants sent the Patriots out as a two-touchdown favorite, but most Sin City books opened at minus then watched the number inch up before hitting reverse.
This week, New England giving 16 to Washington in one Las Vegas football handicapping contest and 16 1/2 in another.
Bodog had the number at 17 Thursday afternoon.
Professional Handicappers League member Russel Joseph says the number of points he'd lay on a game isn't written in stone.
"This past Sunday we saw the New England Patriots crush Miami 49-28 and easily cover the spread as a 15 1/2-point favorite," Joseph said.
"Some thought it was ludicrous how high the line was, but obviously those people were wrong.
"The Pats covered and then some.
"Double-digit faves can be dangerous or they can be valuable.
"One has to first seriously consider the teams involved, as the final decision certainly can overtake the fear of having to win by doubles."
PHL member Jimmy Boyd also doesn't have a set number.
"It depends on too many factors," said Boyd, who "didn't touch" New England-Miami.
"My lean was on Miami, though," he admitted.
"It was only the second time since 2001, I believe, that a team had been favored by more than two TDs on the road.
"That kind of makes you smell a rat.
"Obviously in this case, Miami's QB situation and the fact that New England has covered every game this season while blowing out its opponents gave bookmakers no choice but to post a big spread because they knew the money would be rolling in on the Pats."
PHL Commissioner Brian Gabrielle doesn't like to lay more than two touchdowns (14 points) -- and this is where he and White part company, as the oddsmaker can see hitting 24.
"There is just no incentive to run up the score, so even if a team is capable of winning by 30, there is no motivation for them to do so," Gabrielle said.
"That's not the case in college football, where a soft opponent in the later stages provides a nice environment for a strong team's starters to tee off on in preparation for an upcoming stronger opponent."
LVSC's White could see going as high as a four-posession game -- a trio of TDs plus a field -- with these particular Pats.
He insists certain conditions would have to prevail, however.
"If you got to the end of the season (Dec. 23 actually) and Miami is going to New England with the Pats needing the game, I could see New England being favored by 21 1/2, 23 to 24," White revealed.
"I don't think the Dolphins will go to New England with the Pats needing anything.
"I think we'll start tying things up in a few weeks."
White, like many, is biding time until the NFL regular season's Game of the Year: New England versus reigning Super Bowl champion Indianapolis -- the loop's two remaining unbeatens -- Nov. 4 on the road.
He believes the Colts' impressive victory over Jacksonville Monday night should have lowered the potential spread a notch or so from New England minus 4 to 4 1/2 to Pats minus 3 1/2 to 4.

The Pats will lose two games. The Steelers and the Colts. They squeak by the Ravens by a field goal. You have to understand that the more people hype up this team, the more teams want to beat them and prepare for them. It's not like there are a bunch of high school players out there against the Pats. The NFL players are in the NFL for a reason and take pride in their talent and team regardless of their record. I bet 100 bucks the Pats wish they were under the radar a little more like the Colts.

Haha, 11-5 no way. I don't see the Pats going undefeated, but they're gonna be better than 11-5. Probably 14-2 or 15-1 and as much as I hate to admit it, they're probably going all the way to the SuperBowl too.
