The playoffs will be hard, but the Patriots will have home field throughout and a bye week...the toughest games for a 19-0 season will be the 2 playoff games against the AFC contenders...but with a bye and home field, the Patriots get a significant advantage...giving a significant advantage to the team least needing one can be very dangerous...can’t wait to see what happens

They are definitely a good team, among the best of the AFC...but they need to prove themselves to be considered in the AFC elite, which they haven't yet...maybe they will in the playoffs, but I don't see them matching up well with the Patriots if they meet.

I wanna see the outcome of Pittsburgh and the Jags next week, and that will tell me a lot about both teams. That is if they both play well.

Well, at least the Steelers are at home, where they seem to play much better...but yeah, that game looks like a great one and it should be revealing...I hope they put it on in NY.

Jags are a good team...but a notch below I'd say (kinda like Dallas).

Ya know, speaking of the Indy matchup(s), I thought the Jags were gonna beat Indy this year since they kicked the crap outta them once last year.

Well the Patriots are 27 point favorites this week. I think that's a record for an NFL spread. Safe to say they'll be 14-0 after this week. I do think I would take the under on that though.

27 points??? that is insane. probably too low but insane. I'm thinking the weather could play a factor in this one.

ESPN says its around 24 points at the moment...which is pretty similar to the spread a few weeks ago for the Patriots.

Looks like they have a good chance ofgoing undefeated. I think problems may come up in the playoffs due to the fact it could be terrible conditions in New England. They seem to have problems playing in less than ideal conditions.

Screw the haters. Pats are an original gritty snow team. Undefeated all the way. I doubt we are going to have a tough time with the dolphins on sunday then the Giants who lost to the Redskins lat night. Can't Wait.

anyone else get the idea the refs/media are making sure the Pats don't lose?

don't get me wrong, they're a great team but some of the calls I've seen this year are pretty suspect.

Getting into a whole conspiracy theory is not the answer. There are bad calls all the time…on both sides of the ball…in every single game. No more or less concerning the Patriots. I've seen a lot of Patriots games this year and there is nothing to go on about favoritism towards the Patriots. I have seen a lot of bad calls against the Patriots and bad calls against the teams they played. You have to look at the games openly, not biased. It's easy to be bias especially if they are playing "your team" but the fact of the matter is there is no material evidence to suggest there is an unusual amount of bad calls against the teams the Patriots played…it seemed to be pretty even in all the Patriots games I watched...and this is coming from a Jets fan...
