Pats today

+ Dr. Z might be right. The Giants might win. But I don't think so. Yes, they've won on the road, but the Bucs, Cowboys and Pack all looked bad against the Giants, and I don't think it was just the Giants who did it to them.

True, the Giants have the momentum. Maybe they are peaking.

The Patriots have looked beatable. And Tom Brady's foot might be hurt.

But I still think the Patriots are going to win.

More importantly, I'm pulling for them.

+ Another paean to Kevin Faulk.

+ Banks is right: the Patriots D has been great lately.

+ Some of you will really hate this. I decided to go ahead and get the book 'Patriot Reign' and read it in the run-up to the Super Bowl. Pretty good so far.
