I'm Sticking to My Patriots By 18 Prediction

And I think the Cold, Hard Football Facts help back me up:

For the record, Brady’s Patriots have toppled 2002 MVP Rich Gannon; 1999 and 2001 MVP Kurt Warner; 2003 co-MVP Steve McNair; and 2003 co-MVP and 2004 MVP Peyton Manning. McNabb, meanwhile, has lost to teams led by Brad Johnson and Kerry Collins. Philly’s playoff victims in the McNabb era include Johnson, Shaun King and Jim Miller.

That's actually pretty funny stuff when you think about it.

This is the one that makes me confident in my 18 point prediction:

Proof of the NFC’s ineptitude can be seen simply by looking at the performance of its best team against the AFC. The Eagles went 2-2 against the AFC this season. They were crushed, 27-3, by Pittsburgh (15-1). They were crushed 38-10 by Cincinnati (8-8), in a late-season game in which Philly rested many of its top players. They beat Cleveland (4-12) in overtime, 34-31. They edged Baltimore (9-7), 15-10. Remember, Philly was the dominant team in the NFC this year.

The Patriots went 4-1 against the same four AFC opponents. They split two games with the Steelers, losing 34-20 and winning 41-27, both times at Pittsburgh. They beat Cincinnati, 35-28. They crushed Cleveland, 42-15. They crushed Baltimore, 24-3.

Patriots by 18. So let it be written - so let it be done.
