Pats look impressive

I'm a Packer fan and I cashed in on the Pats last night. They're head and shoulders above any NFC team. There are some AFC teams who will give them a run for their money though.

Once the season gets under way and all the real players are in position they absolutly will be an even BETTER team than we have seen thu far.

The lose of Law has not hurt that D at all.

Whats the O/U on wins? Pats got to win 13

**Mudcat** · 08-27-05, 05:27 PM

Then you're liking the OVER.

At Pinnacle, the numeral on the Pats is 10.5 (Over -113, Under +103).

10.5 ?? Thats free money right there.

**moses millsap** · 08-27-05, 05:48 PM

10.5 is pretty low, IMO.

My thoughts exactly! Only an injury to Brady or Dillon could keep them from winning 12 games this year.

If this team every goes like 13-3 I give up

They have to come back down to earth

I think though Dillion was the key last year and if he remains healthy they will be tough

I threw a little on O 10.5. I hate those 7 month bets so hard to get too excited. But they are the best in the NFL...STILL>

They will greatly miss Bruschi, the key to their D the last few years, and Ted Johnson. Monte Beisel sucks. Teams will run on NE this year, and short pass them up the gut.
Brady is unbelievable though, so they will win their share of shootouts, but their D will take a step back. I think 10.5 is a fair number. 10-11 wins looks about right.

Whats the prognosis on Bruschi?? Can he ever play again or what? I wouldn't think someone with a hart problem should take helmuts to the chest.

have read they have only lost like four games in the last four years in preseason...unlike the Rams and Mike Martz who say the preseason doesn't matter and then they carry over their losing ways into the regular season...
