Sea over NE in an upset, reversing 2014, sadly. Pats suffer key injuries on the road to the SB and are not healthy enough to beat Seattle, though they find a way to make it a great game, as always.

I'm not even going to link it because the site is trash since Pod left, but SOE champion Will Leicht predicted the Pats at 9-7. I'm not even sure if they pay him anymore the guy is complete garbage.

Check out his article on how the Pats fucked up his oh-so-dreamy St Louis Rams dynasty, enabling Brady to steal Kurt Warner's rightful legacy as the greatest QB to ever play the game.

Will Leitch is a bitter, bitter man

The Patriots, even before Julian Edelman went down, were considered far and away the best team in the NFL in most preseason prognostications, which is a pretty good example of how narratives work and are sustained. Halfway through the third quarter of last year's Super Bowl, the Patriots were not only going to lose the game, but the general consensus was that this was in fact it for the Patriots. This was the end of the Patriots' run. Impressive as it was, Tom Brady was almost 40, and the team didn't have the speed required to catch up with a team like the Falcons, and they were simply a team from the past. One and a half quarters later, the Pats didn't just have another Super Bowl: They're now everybody's favorites again. One and a half quarters turned them from the past into the present and now again the future.

Not that they should be doubted: If anything, last year was the transition year. (Bill Belichick is now winning Super Bowls in his transition years.) You can see them taking a step back in the regular season, to rest Brady, to rest a lot of guys, but still being a terrifying team in the playoffs. This record seems a little low, and it surely is. But they're still the target. They're still the one everyone hates and everyone wants to take down. And even if they go 9-7 … they're still probably the Super Bowl favorites.
