Yeah, I'd totally love to see the look on Pats' fans faces after their #1 guy Tom Brady Peyton Manning lets them down.
And hey, once the playoffs start, ANYTHING can happen. There are several cases of the juggernauts going down in the first round to "sucky" teams. A good example is the '06 Red Wings, who lost in six games to the Oilers despite amassing one of the finest seasons in NHL history and the Oilers just barely scraping into the playoffs. They then went all the way to game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs and ripped my heart to shreds, which still hasn't been fully mended. And how about the Dallas Mavericks in last season's NBA playoffs losing to the lowely Warriors? MVP my ass, Dirk!
Anyways, given the nature of pro sports and the likelihood of upsets, I wouldn't be surprised if Manning's Patriots lose in the first round to the 20th ranked team according to the BCS.
