This will be a very hard game.

On the plus side, even if we lose, we still hold our own destiny. Moreover, If this was a playoff game, I imagine some of them would play.

The Pats will still win.

I just heard on NFL network that "Chang" is out... damn it when will it ever freaking end.

When? The same day the NFL announces a $5 million investigation into whether Peyton used HGH and/or other PED's...i.e., NEVER.

I still think the worst they will be is 13-3 with the #1 seed. I think the Dolphins have packed it and looking to end the season and wait to see who their next coach will be. I think the Pats' practice squad could beat the Dolphins right now.

That's one of those statements that's probably true, but on which I wouldn't want to bet the farm.

FWIW, the late money dropped the spread from 3.0 points to 1.5 to 2.0 points overnight.

According to Ben Volin, Jordan Richards will be starting instead of Chung, not Tavon Wilson.

He's been out for a long time.

I think you mean all the NFL* resources were in full protect Peyton mode and couldn't spare the top and mid tier researchers for other stories. And the interns messed it up by calling Chung, "Chang".

Josh Kline and Troy Hill are inactive. Waddle will play, and the Pats will have four tackles.

Hightower active

I kind of expect a buttfumble type game out of the Jets... hope I'm right

Think about what you're saying. So you don't think if the Pats go to Miami at 12-3, and they HAVE to win to get the #1 seed, they won't do it? That's insane. Pats would be up 3or 4 TDs by halftime. Bet the farm on it

I did think about it. I've followed the NFL for a long time and the one thing of which I am certain is that there are no certainties when it comes to the outcome of a single game. "Very confident?". Yep. "Pretty darn sure?". Yep. But "Certain?" No. So I'll leave the Title to the house in the safe deposit box and keep it "off the table."

Harmon and Richards/(Wilson) is pretty darn good for a pair of backup S.

If it's brutal even compared to normal standards, then that's like a nuclear explosion.

Warning - don't go into the game thread now, radiation levels are not fit for human occupation....
