4. Pittsburgh---wouldn't be shocked if they knocked off NE
5. Green Bay---give it up doubters; they are for real

"4. Pittsburgh---wouldn't be shocked if they knocked off NE"

everyone else would. pittsburgh figured out a way to lose to arizona. how do you think they beat the "best in the past 10 yeras"?

They have a lot of rookie coaches and Bellichick has yet to steal all their signals?

Do you watch the NFL at all? We just saw an 0-7 team go on the road and beat a team off a 4 game win streak. They are called upsets. Pittsburgh right now has no weakness; excellent defense, running game, QB and special teams.

we just saw one 0-4 team beat another 0-4 team. if you can ignore the loss to arizona, i can ignore the last 5 weeks.

I happen to agree with you in regards to Pittsburgh being capable of beating NE. They are the "could be any kind" type of horse. This being said, that game is at NE, if this game were at Pittsburgh I would say they have a shot. I have never seen a team so focused as this one (Granted, I haven't been along and coherent in the sporting world for 30-40 years like some here).

There schedule really lines up well for this opportunity of going undefeated and I think the Giants, the last game of the season, could be a real barn barner. Giants will probably still have something to play for and will need the win, and the extra incentive of not letting a team go undefeated. And guess what, more then half the nation won't be able to watch it because it is on the NFL NETWORK.

i could see the steelers knocking the pats off. colts came close, and i think the steelers have a better D than indy.

pats are playing really well, and it's really hard to imagine them losing to anyone the way they're playing. but, other than in 1972, someone eventually knocked off that last undefeated powerhouse.

i too am a steelers fan and i don't see them beating ne on the road. the steelers play the kind of game that could upset them.
i'd rather see the steelers lose the regular season meeting close, then take a good run at ne in the playoffs.

I have a better chance to dig out Jessica Biel than the Ravens do of scoring the necessary points it'll take to beat the Pats. When Demetrius Williams is your playmaking WR, that says alot. Mason might as well hang it up along with my team's garbage. Kearse and Dawkins are yesterday's mayonnaise.
I thought I went out on a limb by saying the Skins had a shot to take down Goliath. Man o man.

i don't think they will beat the pats, but i wouldn't be surprised if they were able to take them down.
