Ok so I haven’t posted in a while\u00a0and here is something that I definitely want to give my take on. My whole family has always said that I\u2019m the most spoiled sports fan they\u2019ve ever met, which I won\u2019t deny. However, as far as the patriots are concerned, I\u2019m usually somewhat satisfied with a long playoff run that doesn\u2019t ultimately end in a championship. You can\u2019t win it all every year but as long as they are in the mix at the end of the year I won\u2019t be totally disappointed. This year though, is much different. I\u2019ve been a pats fan for a while now and I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve ever seen them have an easier road to the Super Bowl then this one. So let\u2019s break it down, the once intimidating Oakland Raiders have been eliminated. The Huston Texans should pose absolutely no threat to New England considering the thumping the pats put on them back in September without Tom Brady and before JJ Watt\u2019s injury. The Steelers are very hot right now but so are the Patriots and if the pats are in Foxborough then they already have a leg up. The Dolphins always play the Patriots tough but they would have to play out of their climate in the cold and are also a very inexperienced playoff team. The Chiefs are also a very respectable team but with the recent playoff performance they gave in Gillette Stadium, again, I think the Patriots have the advantage. But here is the x-factor for the patriots in the playoffs this year; they don\u2019t have to play any away games. And if you\u2019ve watched the pats at all in recent years, you know that them losing a playoff game in Foxborough is an anomaly, it rarely ever happens. Although there are many tough teams coming out of the NFC, I still think the Patriots should feel good about any team they might face come Super Bowl Sunday. Now, this isn\u2019t me promising you the pats win it all, but they have a better chance this year then just about any other Patriots team that I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
