NFL FANS we got to love the story set leading in to the playoffs this NFL season. I know many people are already on board the New England express and waiting to pull into the Lombardi station again for the 4th time in 7 years and for good reasons. No one can argue that Tom Brady and the Patriots are having an awesome season especially since they are on the eve of completing a possible perfect 16-0 season. The only team in the history of the NFL to finish a season with no losses is the’72 Dolphins with a perfect 14-0 season.
Interestingly this probable feat by the Pats does overshadow three other teams that are having awesome seasons as well, all of which share the record of 12-2. The Colts, Pack and Cowboys set atop there respective divisions gearing up for a post season run. I tell you this, I wouldn’t count the Patriots a shoe in to win the Superbowl or even make it to the Big Game. Just as long as Peyton Manning, and the Colts, the reigning champs I add, are in the running, nothing is guaranteed, not even for the Pats.
Same scenario for the NFC, though Dallas up until last week appeared as the sure fired front runner to make the Big Game, you can’t deny the amazing season the Packers are having leading up to the post season. But I tell you this, there are some dangerous teams that you cant overlook. To me the Jacksonville Jaguars have been impressive all season, and teams like Cleveland and Minnesota, as of late, are teams that are to be respected this post season. Either way it goes the Pats are a favorite for many to take home the Lombardi trophy, but I’m not so sure we should be prepared to crown them just yet. Bring on the playoffs!!!!!
