Bold prediction, going wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy out on a limb.
If the Pats win out, this ....conflict?....will disappear, poof gone. But....if they lose either tomorrow or in the SB, yep.......here it comes.
I do expect to see the Pats win another SB which will tie the Steelers with six.
How many SB's have the Pats, Steelers, Niners and Cowboys played in?
Most important SB? Chiefs beating the Vikings. If the Vikes had won it would have been NFL 3, AFL 1, and the Jets win would have got...a fluke...treatment.
So when the two leagues merged what three NFL teams became AFC teams?
