God help me, the Patriots cannot be allowed to both 1) go undefeated through a 16 game season and 2) win the Superbowl.
Can you imagine what a catastrophe it would be if this happened? The conventional wisdom would crown the Patriots the greatest NFL team of all time. We'd have to move the White House from Washington, D.C. to Boston. Tom Brady would be the greatest quarterback of all time (especially if he held the single-season TD record.) Randy Moss would become the greatest wide receiver of all time. ESPN would move from Bristol to Foxboro. Bill Belichick would become as a god. Wes Welker would be the greatest white-guy receiver since Steve Largent. Peyton Manning would no longer be allowed to do TV commercials! This cannot be allowed to stand! We can have Chris win the pick-off three years in a row, but we cannot have this!
I call on all that is holy (and possibly some that isn't) for a team, any team to defeat the New England Patriots during this season or the playoffs. This is Horatio on the Bridge! This is the Alamo! This is the meteor from Armageddon heading towards Earth with Tom Coughlin as the Bruce Willis character. Don't drop the detonator, Tom!
If a Taylor Group member's team (Colts or Giants, primarily) beats the Patriots, I will personally buy and ship a bottle of the finest $9.99 champagne to the vanquisher of the Beast from Massachusetts.
Until next week, I will be hoping beyond hope that the New York Football Giants will win this game. Help me, Eli Wan-Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Well I usually submit a Giant win however if I do and Chris then submits a Pat win, chances are he will get the point.
I cannot pick against the Giants...they have the talent to win but everything must click and there is little from the last few games to believe it will happen tonight
...
Giants 27
Pats 24
i can pick against the giants... not because I think the pats will win, but because logic says that in a tight battle with the boss i need all the points i can get....

Chris, is there any hope of getting overall stats for the 3-way race this past week before kickoff tomorrow? Cheers, Jim
Thanks, Chris.
Apologies, the standings are now up to date, and its right down to the wire. make your picks for tomorrow, i promise more speedy updating this time.
Jim, as much as I don't like it either, please refrain from wailing and/or gnashing of teeth in the comments section....
I hate this. The coronation has begun. It's almost worse that the Giants played them tough for 3 quarters.
See, i look at this the other way, I think this is fine, because they still have to win in the playoffs, as far as I am concerned all the hype and build-up becomes "the greatest collapse ever" if they don't win the super bowl, and I think there are 3 substantial hurdles: Indy, Jacksonville, and San Diego. I love the playoffs
So do I. I would pay good money to see them lose in the playoffs. They are a tough, tough team to beat.
It'd be great to see "the greatest collapse ever", but I think that's a long shot.
Well, Here it goes, the last round (unless we want to pick the playoffs also, which seems like good fun.) Its amusing how people have fallen off through the season, and how close the last 3 of us are at this point. I'll admit to not having been as up to date on things this season, but I have changes in store for '08. But before that, the end of '07....
