The Pats at 5-1 is pretty generous.
When healthy, they were the best team this year. The Denver game was their worst game in memory.
Colt's question is not Manning and his line, they're pros, they'll do their jobs. The question is James. He's crying and complaining.
Would want more than 6-1 on the Panthers with their running back issues.
Take the 5-1 on the Pats now. The odds on the others will probably improve some.
The contest will boil down to Pats and Steelers ( two best rounded teams overall ). NFC won't count much.
When Pats are healthy and clicking they can't be beat.
The Pats opponents for next year will be a heck of a lot easier than last year. If they get home field advantage they'll be tough to stop.
