It's not my opinion or subjective. Just basing on the numbers. Chiefs and Bengals have higher point differentials while all 3 have below average schedules.

I agree on the schedule part, but cmon.....Chiefs is arguable, but the fucking Bengals?

Let's be honest about the Pats anyway. They've skated by with alot of close wins this season. They could have easily lost at Buffalo, Atlanta and Houston and at home against the Saints, Dolphins, Broncos, and Browns. They haven't been as dominant as their record. Now they also could have won the Panthers and Jets game as well. But overall, they've played in alot of close games and haven't showed any kind of dominating performances against a good team or on the road.

Saints are a very good team, but they're not as good as the Seahawks or Broncos. I'm not sure if they could beat the Niners or Panthers outside of the dome.

If they finish with the best record in the AFC, the road part doesn't really matter. Brady has delivered in close games, they were down 24 points against the Broncos and they still won that game.

I'm not saying they're not better than the Chiefs or Bengals or couldn't beat them. I'm just looking at the point differential/strength of schedule over the course of the season. When looking at them, they've basically won alot of close games and overall haven't played that strong of a schedule.
I don't think the Chiefs or Bengals would beat them in Foxboro, but the Pats record isn't that much better than either teams. Plus, they have a ton of injuries and are basically running on fumes and surviving due to Brady being clutch. They're not as dominant as their record. They just win alot of close games.

Wtsup my man.
Not trying to bash our team. Just looking at it thru numbers. They're still a virtual lock to get the 2nd seed and win a home game in the Divisional Round to get to the NFC Title game. It would be a big upset if that didn't happen.
