Baltimore and Indy are the only AFC teams with any slim shot at winning in Foxboro, realistically. The "Any Given Sunday" rule is always in effect, though. I wouldn't worry about Atlanta in the NFC. New Orleans is the only legit concern from the NFC. Saints will probably have to win 3 road...
The defending Super Bowl Champs(sorry, it just never gets old saying that) would at least have him getting a decent number of carries, given he has the same success as he's having with the Patriots. Pierre Thomas is out, Bush isn't really an every down back, Betts and Jones are serviceable but...
