1. Texans
Pretty self-explanatory. We easily defeated this team with a pretty vanilla gameplan in their own stadium. Absolutely no threat on offense.
2. Bengals
I have no faith in AJ coming to Foxboro and beating the Pats, nor do I respect Marvin Lewis enough to fear them being truly ready to play the Pats. That being said, in order to play the Bengals, they'd have to have finally broken their no-playoff-wins-with-Lewis streak, which makes you take them a bit more seriously.
3. Steelers
This would be the AFC Championship game, of course. It goes without saying, Ben is by far the best playoff QB in the AFC not on our team and their offense would pose a big threat. That being said, we have historically owned the Steelers in the BB/Brady era (be it with offensive/defensive dominant teams) and this Steelers team also has the worst defense of the AFC playoff teams.
4. Chiefs
This team kind of reminds me of the Jets, well-rounded, solid-all-around team with an above average QB. The type of team that could smother the Pats offense and make enough plays on offense to slow the game down.
5. @ Broncos
With the "@" at being key here. I absolutely do NOT want to go to Denver for the AFC Championship game. Despite their obvious offensive flaws, they still have the best defense in the NFL and a home advantage that has not been kind to the Patriots
