I'm lousy at win/loss/score predictions, but I do seem to have a feel for the kind of win/loss. I'll go ahead and go on record with this: if the Pats win it will be exactly the sort of win you describe. Maybe not crushing on the scoreboard, but they'll have killed in some specific phase of the game - turnovers, rushing yards, starting field position, etc.

One thing for sure is that BB will have a plan. If the Pats execute it, then we'll do okay. But, so much of football between two good teams is fortune -- will the pass be tipped into Talib's hands? Will the Colts fumble into our hands? Will a Pat for whatever reason make an amazing play that gives us points? At any rate, I'm just happy and amazed that this Pat's team made it this far. In some ways, this year feels a little like 2001.

It's the old cliché - 'Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity'. Both teams will make mistakes, but I think it's safe to say that the Patriots win so often because they are so well prepared to take fuller advantage of them.
