The opening line is New England favored by 3-3.5. That means LV thinks New England is just as good as the Bears. This is strange, in the least, as New England recently experienced two losses in a row and have 3 total.
What has NE done THIS year to merit being considered as good a a team with two fewer losses? Conversely, what have the Bears done to deserve this disdain, considering they just beat the Jets at their home after the Jets beat New England at their home?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en

QB. NE is better.
RB. Close, but I'd say NE is consistently better.
WR. Again, advantage NE. A lot going back to QB again.
Pats score 236
Bears, 282 EDIT: Had 182.
Pats give up 131.
Bears, 120.
Record isn't the whole story. It's who they played.
With the Bears, especially on offense, you never know who stayed at the hotel in their mind.Last edited by SlowwHand; November 21, 2006, 21:35.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Slowhand, you got the Bears scoring wrong. They have scored 282, second in the league.
As you point out, they have the best defense in football to go with the second best offense. And still, the Bears are not deemed as good as New England?
Also, give me a break on the wide receivers. The Bears crew is one of the best in football. How else can the team score all those points?
I grant you that Brady is better than Grossman. But that is mainly due to his clutch performances over the years. Grossman has still to prove himself here.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en

No. Brady is better than Grossman. No ifs or buts about it.
Brady usually is consistent and very good in the clutch. But he has lost games with critical interceptions as well. I don't recall any game where he has looked as good as Grossman has in some of the Bear games this year, but certainly, he has never looked as bad as Grossman was in the Arizona and Miami games.http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=en

Playing an old Packers, a strange Detroit and Vikings twice a year does wonders.
But yes, their Defense is good. Almost as good as the Cowboys.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
