What do we want most?

I like the QB matchup, but I also like that we are more used to the cold and are proven. So I believe we want cold, but not ridiculously cold (like against Tennessee in 2003), and not windy.

Although windy might be an advantage for our place-kicking advantage.

This is wild it is going to be 25 tonight in Jacksonville. It was 29 last night.

Good point, visitor. Boston people are so provincial -- Jacksonville, Miami, what's the difference?

But seriously, the ball is harder in the cold and guys like Branch have shown they can make a hands catch and get drilled by guys like Polamalu and hold on. Brady has repeatedly shown he can get a grip in the real cold. I've no doubt the JAX guys are tough, but significant experience can help too.
