Although barring a complete collapse by the Pats and another Super Bowl win from the Steelers the Pats have the Team of the Decade title locked, the REGULAR SEASON Team of the Decade is up for grabs with the Pats having a slight advantage:

BTW, I think King is wrong about the Pats and Colts are tied for the lead for 30 hours if the Colts beat Jacksonville since the Colt and Pats would have the same amount of wins, but the Pats would still have one less loss which would make the Pats still the leaders.
Regular Season Team of the Decade Dept: New England and Indianapolis are in a fight to the finish for the crown of the best regular-season team of the first decade of the century. From 2000 through 2008, here are the teams with the top winning percentages:
1. New England 102-42 .703
2. Indianapolis 101-43 .701
3. Pittsburgh 94-49-1 .656
4. Philadelphia 92-51-1 .642
5. Denver 85-59 .590
Two notes: The Colts play host to Jacksonville to open the season Sept. 13, and if they win, they'd be tied for the decade lead for at least 30 hours; New England doesn't play until the next night ... Green Bay (84-60), Tennessee (83-61) and Baltimore (83-61) are knocking on the door of this top-five list.
