NEW YORK (-3.5) over New EnglandThe case for New England: The dominant coach and QB of this generation (sigh), going for their place in history, at the stage where they have never failed. A surprisingly potent ground game, and better special teams than usually accepted. Deadly in the red zone on offense, with the best TE tandem in modern history. Fearless play-calling and complete confidence in their abilities. Make the drive-sustaining plays that saps the will of a defense, primarily around the pinpoint accuracy of an all-time great QB. WRs that are sure-handed (particularly Wes Welker and Deion Branch) with a ridiculous amount of big game experience. A resurgent defensive line that is playing at their best, and a secondary that's prone to catching picks, even in games when they are getting handled. Probably the most even keel of any top team, despite their hyperbolic fan base. The case against New England: A once in a lifetime cakewalk schedule that causes every accomplishment...

You don’t have to like Bill Belichick, the three-time champion head coach of arguably the greatest Super Bowl team of this generation. He’s not the most likable man, always wearing a dark blue hoodie — an unstylish NFL genius – having a shrewd IQ, even though few believe he’s a fraud after the infamous episode of Spygate.Either way, that is, Belichick – whether his name...

Oh, the horror. Oh, the who the hell...
