I keep hearing on the radio the past few weeks how the Jags could knock off the Patriots if they met in the playoffs. I just don't buy it. From what I've seen in the regular season, the way to beat the Jags is to spread out their D and look deep often. The Colts used this strategy in their first meeting and it worked extremely well. The Saints basically copied the Colts gameplan when they played the Jags two weeks later and put up 41 points on Jax, with Brees throwing for 445 yards and 3 TD's. With Brady and Moss on the roster, the Patriots have the right weapons to expose the Jags secondary just as well as Brees and Manning did. And as long as the weather stays decent at Foxboro(its been above freezing all week), I don't see how the Pats won't win this game.

IMO the only team who has any shot at knocking off New England is the Colts(though I'd still take the Pats in that match-up)
