Jadaki 1 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I've seen various odds this morning for next years superbowl winner, they go something like this.* New England Patriots 5:2* Dallas Cowboys 7:1* Indianapolis Colts 8:1* Green Bay Packers 9:1* San Diego Chargers 10:1* Jacksonville Jaguars 10:1* New York Giants 12:1* Seattle Seahawks 20:1* Pittsburgh Steelers 20:1* New Orleans Saints 20:1I've seen a few that had the Colts and Cowboys odds flip flopped, but it's still funny the defending champs aren't a favorite in their own division.Also the Patriots might get another shot at going undefeated. Apparently the record for next years opponents during the regular season is a combined .387 winning %. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just happy they have a *chance* at redeeming themselves. Link to post Share on other sites

They once again have a good shot at going 16-0 with that piece of shit scheduele.Well one thing we know is everything changes once the season starts. So the winning %'s from this year might be crap, but teams develop chemistry, rookies make impacts, injuries happen, etc.etc.Point being who knows how well any team will do next season. *I do like the schedule obv, it just doesn't really mean anything until they step on the field. Don't we all know that by now? Link to post Share on other sites

Also, what the Pats defense will look like next year is anybodies guess. It could end up being one of the worst in the league, we have no clue. Probably won't, just saying.Our boys are getting old. *Overdramatic, just agreeing with your point.**Also, I really like to use the *'s. Link to post Share on other sites

I know this isn't the Patriots 2008 season thread, but the defense is not that bad off imo. Don't forget Colvin will be back at LB. Because he was gone Seau and Bruschi were forced to play way more than they could handle. With Colvin back Bruschi/Seau can platoon opposite Thomas in the middle and hopefully stay fresh and healthy. I think they'll use the 7th pick (if they don't trade it) for a DB that can likely contribute right away.I'm more worried about which WR they're going to lose. Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah, Bill will definitely be picking up some new blood.About the wide receivers.......I would hope they'd keep everyone.....but even if they let someone go, aren't we pretty well stacked? I mean, Washington is on special teams, but could easily step in and be a 3 or 4 guy right? Link to post Share on other sites

Jadaki 1 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Good grief....easiest schedule....everSD, Indy and Pitt are all possible losses based on the current team makeup. What happens in the off season via free agency and the draft will absolutly impact things, but the Pats are still going to be an elite team.Also, I think the Pats defense was improved by how good the offense was. They could afford to take risks being ahead as often as they were. Link to post Share on other sites
JoeyJoJo 20 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 SD, Indy and Pitt are all possible losses based on the current team makeup.Seattle is 20-4 at home the past three years. I don't think they should be considered a cupcake. Link to post Share on other sites
Jadaki 1 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Seattle is 20-4 at home the past three years. I don't think they should be considered a cupcake.That's a lot of wins against the worst division in the NFC though. Maybe a Seahawk fan wants to jump in here but I seem to hear them complaining a lot about a horrible WR core, and a lack of consistent RB play. It's going to take more than just Matt Hassleback to pull off a win against the top tier teams even at home. Link to post Share on other sites
runthemover 40 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 it's still funny the defending champs aren't a favorite in their own division.I don't think so. They were only a wildcard team.One good thing about the Giants' victory is the obvious resurgence the NFC East thread will get. Not that it was dying or anything but this definitely added some juice.

Flushgarden 0 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You can chop it up however you want, but that linebacking corps is old enough to have sat with Jesus at the last supper.Seau and Brushi in particular. I do think they will both be back for one more year, and ideally those two will be sharing one position. They might bring in an inexpensive veteran free agent to add a little more depth.I just thought of something that would really suck. What if they go undefeated in the regular season again and then lose in the Superbowl again? They wouldn't be able to shake that until all of us who witnessed it have left this earth.

myenemy 0 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yeah they are still a long shot to win. No doubt. I feel though that is just one more reason that made this win so sweet.I dont think the Pats will make a run at undefeated next year. And funny as it sounds, whenever they get that first loss, they'll probably be relieved so they can concentrate on winning the Super Bowl.And we know they dont control their schedule, but theyre in the easiest division in the NFL, its just their luck.....

Miguel McHarris 0 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Pats are getting older, and it's very difficult to lose the Super Bowl then go on to win it the next year. I don't like the Cowboys either, they can't win a playoff game. Colts look decent at 8:1. Link to post Share on other sites
