I'll start by saying I've always maintained Deion is one of the best analysts in the game, and I frequently compliment his knowledge of how things work in the real football world behind the scenes. His predictions are sometimes unexpected but his logic is sound and he often makes others look silly (see his predictions on the Patriots last year for example). So, I don't feel like I'm quoting some Pats homer or crackpot looking for attention here. Just an interesting take. I don't agree this is a good thing necessarily due to the chances alone of needing to win one more game (and the huge homefield difference at Arrowhead vs. Gillette), but this is certainly the only silver lining I've seen.
Deion Sanders Explains Why Losing Bye Was ‘Best Thing To Ever Happen’ To Patriots
“They don’t need a bye. Offensively, they’ve had a bye all year,” Sanders said Sunday on NFL Network’s “NFL GameDay Prime.” “The receivers have had a bye the whole training camp and everything. They don’t need a bye. They need to stay in it and work on their game and work on getting back to the Super Bowl, where they rightfully belong. This is not a team that deserves, nor needs a week off. This is the best thing to ever happen to them. It really is.”
