Weak AFC and Peter King loves Bill Belichick. He is the only one who has them (or any AFC team) winning the SuperBowl. The other 3 experts have 49ers, Seahawks and Packers winning.

All the Super Bowl talk for the 49ers and Seahawks is surprising to me. Both teams have very inexperienced QBs. I like them both, especially Wilson, but there is a risk here as well that these guys come back down to earth for a bit and those teams aren't anywhere near the SB.

They did host the AFC Championship. How many other teams would like to crap out that early?
I think he would say the Pats won three Superbowls with lesser teams than the one that lost twice to the Giants. Doing more with less. And, he lives in Boston.

It makes me laugh when people get upset at predictions, it's someone's opinion and you trash them for having one?
Don't get it. Disagreeing is one thing but feels like Peter King & Greg Bedard pissed in Drake's cornflakes.

Whoops, got mixed up there. I thought they went out a round earlier.

If I’m right, and the Patriots win the AFC’s top seed, this will be Brady’s shining moment, getting the Pats to the top of a tough conference with virtually entirely new skill players.
|
Don't think the AFC is all that great and I'm a Seahawks fan and would love to see them in the SB but no way they win 3 road games in a row in the playoffs. If they get the 1 seed in the NFC West then I think they'll make it.

I can see the Pats getting to the SB just as much as anyone else in the AFC. I mean who thought at this time last year that Baltimore would do what they did? Add in the Brady factor and they along with Denver and maybe Houston are likely to be on most projections to some degree.
The NFC is effin loaded for bear though.....man what an evil conference.

I think most of it is just people being tired of Peter King. The guy's insight and analysis has become pretty piss poor as of late, and this would be another example. That and the sheer volume of Pats' homer garbage he's put out has become insufferable, largely due to the fact that he tries to pass it off as objective. At least Simmons cops to it.
