Patriots Favored to Win the Super Bowl

In a shocking development, the New England Patriots, who didn't even make the playoffs, are now 6-1 favorites to win the Super Bowl. I'm not even sure how that's possible but apparently the Pittsburgh Steelers forfeited their spot and the NFL automatically replaced them with the Patriots. Oh, now I see, the Patriots are 6-1 favorites to win the Super Bowl next year. Got it. That makes more sense.

Anyway, this just goes to show everyone around the country that the path to the Lombardi Trophy still goes through Foxboro. I think that everyone is starting to see just how much of a dynasty the Patriots have become by being able to insert bench guys into starting roles and still having success. This is a team that didn't even make the playoffs this year, has a quarteback controversy beginning to brew and has tons of holes on the defensive side of the ball. And they're still favored to win the Super Bowl. It's great to live in the City of Champions!

The timing of this report is also interesting because it just goes to show that people have basically already forgotten about this year's Super Bowl and it hasn't even been played.

Anyway, looks like it might be time to fire up the duck boats again.
