Strictly b/c of ESPN and the media. Currently ESPN and sports talk has nothing to talk about in the NFL except for Tom Brady's non existent hand injury. This morning I'm watching and ESPN is raving about how the betting odds have gone down and what the potential odds would be if Brady was NOT PLAYING.
A month ago, the story was how Brady/Belichick relationship was in turmoil and blah blah blah, so what did Patriots did, smoke the Titans last week by 21. Grated you might say, well it's only Tennessee, but you know what NE beat them like they were supposed to beat them.
Now the story is Brady and his hand. ESPN probably has tons of money on NE, because they want to joe schmo public to be all over Jax. I actually did at first like Jax +9 and I like a new team potentially in the superbowl and their story coming from the bottom to where they are now.....
but after all this media garbage around Brady, I just have this gut instinct that Brady is going to throw 300+ yards and 3 TDs and just shut everyone up like they always do.
NE -7 all day for me
