Top 10 Reasons Why The Patriots Will Winn The Super Bowl

10. They will be huge underdogs (see Pittsburgh)

9. Georgia Frantiere is already getting measured for her huge rings (see also Bill Cowher ordering Hotel rooms for New Orleans)

8. The last game they lost (and barely) was against St. Louis, back when Brady was still green

7. Coach Belichick is coaching his arse off, and can game plan against anybody.

6. During their 8-game run, they shut down the top running backs in the league Curtis Martin, Edgerine James, Jerome Bettis (etc)

5. St Louis will now have to prepare a gameplan against 2 Pro-Bowl quarterbacks

4. Patriot cornerbacks have shut down every Hall-Of-Fame bound recievers (Rice and Brown, plus those whiners in Pittsburgh)

3. They've dominated every game on special teams, and make big plays

2. They have few, if any, stars. What they have is discipline, like the Marines

Which brings me to my #1 reason why they'll win the Super Bowl....

They're PATRIOTS, and of all years where patriotism has come back in vogue, THIS IS IT

GO PATS!

Ab so tively!!!

Here's another reason:

The Rams are being given Monday and Tuesday off to make arrangements for the off-season.

[Timmy]

Yeah, but they have to beat the best, toughest team in football to do it. And the Rams are better offensively AND defensively than the Pats. Good year for the kids, though. And nothing to be ashamed of when the Rams fly by them by 21.

The Pat's are in the Superbowl???

[jackbill]

Who are the Patriots?

[kidkosmic1]

This will be a classic..the "Washington Generals" get blown out by the "Greatest Show on Turf". AFC straw men, ahhh, the good 'ol days...

[Revolting cat!]

And the reason Number One:

(1) Like professional wrestling, American football is fixed!

[RonPaulLives]

Hmmmm. You left out the following:

(11.) If in danger of losing, the referees will reverse an obviously correct call to give them the game.

[Vladiator]

They have spell checkers?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Exactly.

[Cicero]

Keep in mind that if the Patriots win, the Stock Market will crash. Would it be worth it?

[paul in cape]

Just a reminder

1969...Baltimore favored by 14

New York Jets 17

Baltimore Colts 7

[RedBloodedAmerican]

You summed up the season for me in one sentence. Thanks :) I hope the Rams wipe the field with them. In Christian love, of course.

[gortklattu]

Hey, number 5 is coming up.

Sorry!

[paul in cape]

They have spell checkers?

wats rong wit my spellin? da "n" key stuck :>)

[Iowegian]

Hmmmm, this threads bears a striking resemblence to the thread I read yesterday, Why the Eagle will beat the Rams. And one I read 2 weeks ago, How the underdog Packers will upset the Rams. Those weren't the exact titles, but you get the idea. We Ram fans don't need to brag and trash talk, we let the team do the talkin', by winning. Where did a;; those Packer and Eagle fans that predicted their wins go?

[paul in cape]

Anyone can "predict" that their team will win, by my reasons actually make sense (if I do say so myself).

[baseballfanjm]

Rams are better offensively AND defensively than the Pats

So were the Steelers, supposedly. But the Pats DOMINATED Jerome Bettis and forced Kordell Stewart into only throwing the ball which, and by some great special teams, is why they won. They beat Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh and they can beat the Rams. Also, if they only didn't have so many penalties, they'd have won by 14 instead of 7. They were supposed to get blown out by they Steelers yet won and will do the same against St. Louis.

[Antoninus]

As a dejected Eagles fan, let me just say that I hope the Pats whoop up on those crummy Rams. And after the lickin' that my boys put on Field Marshal Faulk today, they should have an easier time of it.

Go Pats Go!
