The Patriots run the table

Boo...hiss!

I really wanted to see them get beat, and the Giants certainly had a chance to do it...but Manning just had to throw that pick with 8 minutes to go which allowed the Patriots to score what would turn out to be the winning touch down.

There were a few bonehead plays on the Giants side that allowed the Patriots to win, plus a bogus unsportsmanlike conduct call. (A Patriot player pushed a Giant out of bounds, and as he was backing up, he was jawing with the Giants. He tripped, accidently, and the Giants were called for unsportsmanlike conduct!)

Nevertheless, the Patriots certainly looked vulnerable. The Giants came within 3 points of beating them. The Colts, a few weeks ago, certainly had their chances also. In the playoffs, facing good teams, I predict the Patriots will lose.

What teams have a chance to beat them?

Green Bay Packers, if Favre will go back to being the good Favre who didn't throw stupid interceptions.

Indianapolis Colts, of course.

Dallas Cowboys.

Who else?
