IMHO, we would be a favorite for a bye if
---------------------------------------
Brady were healthy and near 100% to start the season.
---------------------------------------
Many mediots made the patriots the SB favorites because they thought that Brady would start the season near 110%. Many posters were aghast that anyone should suggest that Brady wouldn't be at 100%
-----------------------------------------
There are many reasons for us not being 12-1 or 11-2 at this point. I suspect that if Brady were 100% to start the season and near that thereafter, we would be talking about winning out to get the #2 seed and perhaps even the #1 if Indy faltered. So, in the end, all the rest are important, but Brady's health is a huge factor.
