Karma is a bitch

I hope that by writing this now I don't "jinx it" but here goes.

The one football milestone that I cannot stand to see celebrated every year is the 1972 Miami Dolphins and their toast to being undefeated.

Don't get me wrong, I think its a great feat, but not one that deserves a champagne toast every time the last undefeated team loses.

Ok, so as I write this, maybe its a great feat that deserves to be recognized on an annual basis but boy won't it suck when New England goes 16-0 and Miami goes 0-16?

I think the Pats are going into the two toughest weeks of their miracle season. They will be going up against the Jets who have nothing to play for other than to whip their hated rivals. Then comes Miami who is really the last team that will put up any kind of fight to stop the Pats from reaching their goal of a perfect season. .

What about the NY Giants the last week of the season you ask?

Well the Giants look like they will make the playoffs next week and they will most likely mail it in the rest of the regular season to give their starters a few weeks to get healthy.

So with three games to go I am rooting the Pats on to go undefeated and I am rooting for Miami to go winless.

The way I see it: New England is arguably the best team to ever walk out onto a football field and the will not be denied a perfect season. How much pressure do you think the players are under? Do you think their chances to Super Bowl champs is easier or harder if they go undefeated in the regular season?
