Default If the Pats win this game

I'm going to start thinking Super Bowl.

Pats aren't going to lose many games on coaching, so if they do win this you're looking at what should be an 8-2 team. Everyone in the AFC is beatable and this is basically a playoff game. I don't think the Jets would be more up for this if it was the AFC championship. If the Pats can handle business... I'm nervous, and there is definitely the potential for things to go badly, but if they do win I'm going to stop thinking that just making the playoffs is the goal here and start thinking a little bigger.

(I want this one bad. So bad.)

I'm not saying it will happen I'm saying I'm going to stop feeling ridiculous when I contemplate it. If they can beat a peaking team on a few days rest after playing the division leader four days ago in a huge rivalry on national TV, they're legit. That's all. It's no longer about exceeding expectations, it's about thinking that they're contenders in the AFC. The Jets are going to come ready to play, I won't be surprised if they win. It's their time. If the Pats pull it out it's by far their biggest win of the season. They gotta figure out how to *****in score tonight.

I would rather the Pats stay under the radar.

In a way I wish they were more 4-4 or some mediocre record and then get hot late, so no one notices.

Being the underdog is way better than being the recognized favorite.

If the Pats can win the next three games against AFC rivals (Jets, Dolphins and Steelers), many people will start believing the Pats can contend for the AFC. However, the Titans remind me of the Steelers in the '01 season. They can run the ball, play good defense and has a QB that can manage games. If the Pats can make it to the AFC title game against the Titans, the Titans will fold under pressure like the Steelers did in '01-'02 season.

The Pats gameplan will be obvious to everyone: Make Kerry Collins beat you passing.

I'd like to take those chances.

This theory was proved wrong 18 consecutive times last season.
