    Who's beating New England this year

    Yes I know it's one game but seriously who's beating them this year barring a serious injury to Brady outside of Kansas City no one in the AFC has a shot.

    Re: Who's beating New England this year

    It was decreed last season that the Patriots are going back to the Super Bowl. They were exceptionally weak last season and still won. Now they are better.

    The Steelers are basically fucked, and the Chiefs still have eternal choke artist Andy Reid. The Ravens could upset them, but that's it.

    No one in the AFC is beating them. No one. They just may win their seventh title.

    Speaking of them and actual sports betting. Take them every time to beat the spread and beat it at least 10 times or more out of the 16 game season. Sux betting on them but easy money.

    Ravens usually give them trouble, for whatever reason.

    I mean, you could suck a dick for easy money too, but would you actually do that?

    No one. Chiefs defense is still utter trash (an undrafted rookie free agent completed 22 of 25 passes against them) and Andy Reid will continue to get outclassed by Bellichick when it matters. Also Baltimore's college offense will not stand much of a chance against Bellichick

    There's plenty of teams that can and will beat NE this year. Dolphins... Jets... Chiefs... just not the Steelers.

    I am hoping against all hope that it's AB.

    They know how not to play scared on defense, for one.

    Honestly the only team with a shot is Kansas City, everyone else is fodder

    Same reason why the Steelers suck against the Patriots: Coaching. Harbaugh is a superior coach to Mike Tomlin.

    Harbaugh doesn't care about the Brady/Belichick Mystique and gave New England fits with Joe Flacco, and was dangerously close to killing their dreams another two times.

    We on the other hand are never ready in Foxboro and kick field goals down 20-0.

    KC won’t be challenging to NE. Barring any major injuries, this is the year they go 19-0. Mark it down.

    Dolphins, Jets .... you did see the Dolphins lose 59-10 yesterday to Baltimore right? If Lamar Jackson is putting 59 up on the Dolphins what do you think Belechick/Brady will do with AB next week?

    LOLOLOLOLOL.

    Re: Who's beating New England this year

    Belichick takes out the offenses too weapon and makes you beat him with the others...which is what he did yesterday. It’s no secret.

    Then they do what they do on offense.

    Each player has a job to do and they expect you to do it. If you can’t do it, we will get the next guy to do it. Do the basic, simple, little things and everything else will fall into place to the tune of 6 Super Bowls.

    It’s really pretty simple.

    The Ravens have a shot. They always play the Pats tough. Might be different without Suggs. He always effed with Brady's head to a degree. KC's defense is suspect. No good scoring 28 on NE if you give up 42.

    If they can generate a pass rush, they should be set-up to give the Pats a really tough battle. It would likely come down to how well Jackson plays on offense though...I would give them a punchers chance right now. Odds may go up as Jackson matures this season.

    Hate the Ravens but gotta give props to them as the Ravens are the only team who have gone into the Big Razor and beat them in an AFC Championship game and nearly beat them the year before (AFCC game also) except for Lee Evans dropping the pass.

    Agreed, I think the Ravens have a very good shot not only of beating the pats but also the division

    At this point the division is theirs to lose. Of course it's only one game and anything could happen.

    They say "on any given Sunday", but, I hate saying this, but Brady is a pure artist. He just sits back and picks apart defenses, always seems 'ready' to play, and never 'forces' throws. Belicheat runs a well oiled machine, with discipline. So, they are very capable of going 16- 0, but it's very likely that there will be a 'given Sunday' that someone will trip them up. Baltimore is a team that seems to give them a rough road.

    Ravens' shot against NE dropped drastically after AB went to them. AB has always been a problem for the Ravens (well a lot of other teams too)

    I'm holding out hope that in one of their games with Buffalo, Tom Brady has his left knee turned into porridge. It's about the only team with at least a half-decent defense that those assholes have to play all year.

    The problem is that the Steelers just never get any pressure against him. Put him up against a defense that consistently brings pressure up the middle against him and knocks him around a bit and he struggles.

    Outside of a couple of plays, the defense didn't so much as breathe on him (again) last night.

    To be fair, what do the usually lose a season since the Brady era began? Like 3-4 games? Not like anyone is really doing it with consistency.

    I'm thinking the Ravens a few years back (beat them outright in one AFCCG in Foxboro and outplayed them in a second one in Foxboro and should have won that one as well) and the Giants D in 2 SBs.

    Very true. Chargers used to play them tough. Not so much recently.

    I’m thinking Steelers fans are learning how like maybe Raiders fans or something felt in the 70’s.
