I wonder where some of you rank this '2nd week Super Bowl' or if its among the top 5 most hyped games in Patriots history?
My picks for top hyped games are....
1) Super Bowl XXLII - How can you beat the hype that an 18-0 team was part of?
2) AFCCG - NE at Miami in 1986 - How NE could never beat Miami in the Orange Bowl was all I heard from for 2 weeks straight that year, but Tony Eason and Ray Berry found a way to end that streak.
3) NE at Jets 2009 - I put this weeks game third most because of the EXCESSIVE trash talking going on,This week 2 game should never make this list but there is far too much arrogance on the Jets side to omit it from the top 5.
4) NE at Pittsburgh regular season 2004 - The Patriots and Steelers were to clash and NE was riding high on a 21 game winning streak while the Steelers were dominating all competition before this game,It turned out to be a great game but Big Ben as a rookie played well enough to end the streak.
5) NE at Indy regular season 2007 - Both teams were the cream of the crop going into this game and both undefeated,This was definately the talk of the week.....Peyton vs. Brady - Undefeated vs. Undefeated - It doesn't get much better than that.
What your opinion on top 5 hyped games and where does this weeks game rank if at all??
