A few weeks ago I would have said Jets, but I think the spygate scandal is beginning to lose it's efffect. People are slowly forgetting about it. I know you have an occasional Don Shula type mouthing off in front of a camera, but mention of it is waning each week. Even Shula, a far more respected football person than Belichick, got trashed by 90% of the media for his comments.
To me, Pittsburgh on December 9 is THE GAME. Presuming both teams go 3-0 in the next 3 weeks, Pittsgburgh plays the Jets, Miami and Cincy, this will be the game that we can clinch homefield throughout.
Plus, this will be the first Patriots/Steelers matchup in 2 1/2 seasons. Both teams look very different than the ones that played for the AFC championship in 2004. Beating them to clinch homefirld would be a statement that the Patriots are STILL the class of the AFC. STILL reigning supreme over the Steelers.
