it's funny because there are plenty of stats that make SD the favorites - which they are (though I predict the line will move down to 3.5/2.5 by Sunday - making it all but even, save for SD's home field advantage)
The most impressive stat that San Diego has to me is the fact that in losing 2 games, they lost by just 3 points each.
That's 6 points away from a perfect regular season.
That is damn impressive whether you are a SD fan, Patriots fan, or just a football fan.
But beyond that, the seedings mean nothing to me. The seedings are, as they should be, based on the full regular season - San Diego earned the bye and the #1 seed.
But the seedings don't account for who is playing the best football RIGHT NOW. And, given the Patriots last few games, and general strength of scheduled, my opinion is that the Patriots are currently the best team in football.
But we'll find out for sure on Sunday.
