Don't know about the fins, they are pretty terrible, would be funny to see them go winless.
As for the Pats, they will NOT go undefeated. The WILL lose this week to the Steelers. Look at it this way, everything the Eagles and the Ravens did to stay that close in those games, the Steelers are better at. The Steelers have a great pass rush, they play fast, aggressive, "punch you in the mouth" style defense that will continue to put pressure and hits on Tom Brady, oh and just for kicks, they have the number one overall defense, the number one pass defense, and the number two rush defense. They also love to run the ball and can do it relatively well which burns time off the clock and keeps brady and that potent offense on the sidelines. And in case you didn't notice in the Eagles and Ravens games, the defense did their job, but both offenses crumbled at the end. Feeley and Boller both threw bad picks at crucial moments to give the ball back to the Patriots, neither offense could get first downs at the end of the game (Ravens had 3 3-and-outs in a row in the 4th quarter when they needed to burn time off the clock), and both defenses folded under the pressure at the very end and either let up the big play or drew stupid penalties.
The Steelers on the other hand are better coached, have a better, more composed defense, and have a quarterback that can manage the game and control the ball. The Patriots aren't gonna be able to benefit from stupid mistakes by the opposing team like they have been able to for the past 2 games. In fact, they have benefited from that all year. Every time the Pats would score, the opposing offense would just give them the ball right back, which is how the Pats offense could score so much and so easily. This won't happen against the Steelers.
Bottom line:
The Patriots lose this week. Bet the Steelers on the money line and bet the Steelers to cover the spread (since they're gonna win anyway).

The Patriots will run the table, however the Dolphins will pick up a win before the season is over.

the Pats will probably let up a bit once they secure homefiled advantage. Although I think Bill-a-cheat's pride might cause him to keep running up the scores and going for that 16-0 mark. That might come back on him if someone gets hurt or if his team isn't fully rested for the playoffs.
