The fact that these teams can make sure they can get up and win the big games after facing off against lesser opponents is a credit.

That's the weird thing about "parity" in the NFL. Going into the season, according to the link, the Pats had the third hardest schedule based on 2006 performance.

Then there's this link that compares the records of teams against "Quality Opponents", that is, opponents with better than .500 winning percentages. NE beat two otherwise undefeated teams on the road: Dallas and Indy.
You can come up with stats to prove anything even remotely true. 45% of CP posters know that.
