Making this thread for after Super Bowl 51.
I received my daily Patriots news in my Google Allo app (if you don't use that, download it) and saw this gem:

This NFL Sunday proved two things: 1) The New England Patriots are the best team in football; 2) The New England Patriots will not win the Super Bowl, and you can bet your cutoff hoodie and Microsoft Surface on it.
It's not a lineup thing, it's not a playbook thing, it's not a depth thing, it's not a coaching thing, it's not a scheme thing, it's not a bad-matchup thing, it's not an air pressure gauge thing and it's not a possibly not having Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson to hand them a ring thing. No, it's an undeniable pull of history thing.
His argument is that the best team does NOT win the Super Bowl.
Since the turn of the century, there have been 16 full NFL seasons, and the best team finished its season with a loss in 15 of those years. We determined the best team by regular-season record. In the event of a tie, we looked at which team was favored to win before the playoffs and/or which team was favored in the Super Bowl.
