Sorry but the Titans are going to get killed, especially after the way they got banged up last night. <br /><br />Take a look at the Pats:<br /><br />First team since 72 Dolphins to win 12 straight (edit: last 12 reg season games)<br /><br />8-0 home record<br /><br />3 home shutouts (Dallas, Miami and Buffalo)<br /><br />1 TD allowed in 24 quarters at home <br /><br />In the last 6 home games the Pats allowed only 22 oints total or 3.7 pts per game <br /><br />allowed the league's fewest points (238)<br /><br />Brady's 241 pass attempts in home games this season without throwing an interception is the best by any quarterback since the NFL merger in 1970. <br /><br />New England has played six games against teams with defenses ranked in the top six in the league<br /><br />The 2003 Patriots recorded a +17 turnover differential<br /><br />The Patriots were 7-0 this season against teams with winning records<br /><br />The Patriots gave up an average of 8.5 pts all season at home.
hey ralph, your first stat is wrong. the 85 bears went 12-0 til they lost to miami to make them 12-1. remember the superbowl shuffle?<br />as for the rest of the stats, i dont know right off hand. the pats are a good team dont get me wrong! the titans match up well with them though.
My bad should read "last 12"<br /><br />Check it for your self:<br /><br /> http://flash.patriots.com/news/FullArticle.sps?id=27171&type=general <br /><br />Read the 9th paragraph<br /><br />It was a season of firsts for New England. Besides the 14-2 mark, New England won its last 12 regular season games, the longest streak in franchise history, and became only the third team ever to accomplish that feat and the first since the 1972 Miami Dolphins. The Patriots also finished their home schedule an undefeated 8-0 for the first time ever, posted three shutouts in a season for the first time and allowed the league's fewest points (238), also for the first time. They also finished as the AFC's top seed and with the NFL's best record for the first time ever.<br /><br />I do remember that Bears team. They beat (killed) the Pats in their first big show appearence.
Ok Ralph, apparently you are not very familiar with the Titans. (gotta talk a little smack ya know) . This team seems to always find a way to win. McNair being banged up is not a problem, they say he will practice this week, ditto for Eddie. Dont forget that they have the #1 Defense in the NFL, and that can erase a lot of offensive problems. You can't run on the Titans.....period, so Brady is going to have to pass......a lot. Nobody is giving them a chance against New England, and that is exactly why they will win.<br /><br />Anyway, to the picks.<br /><br />Rams<br />Titans<br />Colts<br />Packers (Something special about the Pack this year).<br /><br />Thanks for the congrats guys, but i'll have to admit, I just got lucky with my picks. I bet everybody already knew that, didn't they.
If you would like to change your picks, now that you have seen mine, thats ok. Just go back and edit your post. <br /><br />Gotta trash talk Ralph, since he's a Patriot fan.
titans, colts, carolina, philly...<br /><br />since I picked the ravens to win it all, only<br />fair to go with the team that beat them.<br />winner of titans/pats is superbowl winner.
did you see the colts game yesterday catfish?<br />chiefs don't have the defense to beat them IMO.<br />should be a high scoring/fun game though.<br />colts 34, chiefs 28
