Bronco Billy Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) I'll play the money line on IND, thanks. An undefeated SB champ with the #4 O & #3 D playing at home and getting 5 pts? Â I'll freely admit that I vastly underestimated just how good the Colts D would be this year after its losses in the offseason. They are better than when they played in the playoffs last year. Â The only issue I have with this game is after IND wins it, will we have to hear how they are the greatest team ever assembled in any sport at any time in history because the beat the current greatest team ever assembled in any sport at any time in history? I can live with the Pats fans whining because they were cheated (love the irony in that one) since that's the only possible way they could lose, but I don't think I can stand another half season of a team annoited the consummate greatest team ever and then people expounding on that relentlessly.

They would be great, but not greatest ever. I don't agree that the Patriots are the greatest team ever (even if they do win out the season and the Super Bowl), but obviously a loss to the Colts would shut up any talk about the greatest ever. Kind of hard to be the greatest ever if you lose. The optimist in me wants to chose Colts by 3-10, but the realist in me unfortunately says Patriots by the same margin.

Â Based my spread upon a survey of Vegas sports books' current lines on the game. So much the better if your book is giving you 6. With the odds money going 3/4 to NE, I'd imagine it might get to 6 1/2 or even 7 by the time the game rolls around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdrudge Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Â Who then would you say would be the greatest ever if that did happen?To tell you the truth, I don't know. I'm not much of a football historian so I don't know many of the teams from yesteryear. No matter what happens with the Patriots season, they have shown that they are a great team, at least athletically. But to be the greatest, it's not all about what you do on the field. It's hard for me to call a team the greatest that openly cheated on the sidelines, unnecessarily ran up scores, and has at least one player who has taken performance enhancing drugs. Some of those things are subjective and there many not be anything "wrong" with it as it's within the rules. But put them all together and it brings down my opinion of the team.

WaterMan Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 The best WR ever drafted next to Rice might just might make Brady the best QB ever if these two stay together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Cid Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Did you notice him playing DB last week? Yeah I saw that and thought, what a monumemtal change of attitude if BB succeeds in turning him into another Troy Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
