Here are the chances that I gave/give the Patriots to win each of the SB's that they played and will play this Sunday.
1986 Bears- about a 10% chance. Had hope and prayers but gave them no chance. Even "Berry the Bears" did nothing for me.
1996- This one I gave the about a 40% chance based on the "Parcells factor" (over rated)
2001- Really thought less than 25% chance. I was hoping that they would not get blown out and become the Bills or the Vikings. Gave them a punchers chance, as they say in boxing
2003- Certainly in this one I gave them 65% or better to win it. But never expected an offensive shootout in the 4th quarter.
2004- High confidence 75-80%. There was little doubt in my mind.
2007- Extremely high confidence that the Patriot would win in a blowout-90-95%- enough said.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
2012- I have this in my head as 50-50. It could be a blowout by either team. it could be a high scoring shootout or low scoring nail biter. I just don't have a feel for this game at all.
OK, lets see some others. If you say that you can't remember, you are either lying or have had head trauma.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
