Friends in NE say the rain should stop or be close to stopping by kickoff but you never really know until closer to game time, NE and over for me. A lot of guys coming back, Hogan, White, Burkhead and whoever else is on the list. Brady will be in that mental zone where he can sniff the SB and will leave nothing to chance. Once in a while during the regular season Josh can kind of let a Team hang around 1st half. But I think you'll see the hurry up, quick tempo offense for most of the first half to run up the score and take the wind out of Tenn. Just my .02
Yeah and if they get into trouble they can draw up one of those illegial formation plays that they have up their sleeve. Oh yeah they terminated that technicality because of that play. Oh yeah and Edelmen is out too and not coming back. Maybe maybe they cover, but they aren't winning another SB this year.
So Edelman has been out since day 1, how does he even factor into this conversation? All things considered, anything can happen moving forward towards the eventual SB winner, but all in all, I like NE's chance to repeat, I just don't see any dominant Team that can overcome the BB-TB combo at this stage of the playoffs. Just my .02
