pats are doing quite well as my last horse in the race. almost too good. like 3 losses by a combined 4 points or so and routinely blowing opponents out.
literally, the first time all year that i "bet" against eagles and chargers, they do win it. fucking chargers, you make me crazy, just two of these boneheaded losses less and there would be something going on, but some of them were just so dumb that you do not deserve it overall. at least this D is worth looking forward to next year. and if rivers gets another playmaker like god-sent denario alexander, there might be something going.
the afc should still come down to texans vs pats. the ravens arent that good. i count that 4th and 29 against the chargers as a loss, you cannot play like that when youre going for the number 1 seed. then you lose against your wounded division rival playing the 3rd QB. broncos are living too much on their D right now. yeah, i know who is playing QB, but that will be only getting tougher over the next weeks. and they too had 2-3 wins that arent wins, like the falcons. yeah, you can say "we did enough to win the game, blablabla", but come playoff time you will see which team was able to play its backups the whole 4th quarter and which team needed last minute miracle plays and OT to win.
