This is getting crazy. The New England Patriots will play their seventh undefeated opponent of the season when they visit the 10-0 New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. The Patriots started the season playing the 0-0 Buffalo Bills, 1-0 New York Jets, 2-0 Atlanta Falcons, 3-0 Baltimore Ravens, and 4-0 Denver Broncos. Of course, they played the 8-0 Indianapolis Colts in Week 10 on Sunday Night Football. The 1SKILLZ Gameplan will be released later in the week, but for now I wanted to focus on comparing the Saints' #1 scoring offense this season with that of the 2007 New England Patriots. That Patriots team scored an NFL record 589 points while going 16-0 in the regular season before losing Super Bowl XLII to the New York Giants 17-14.
This year's Saints are averaging 36.9 [...]

The New England Patriots made the New York Jets look like the month of March this season. After the Patriots' Week 2 loss to the Jets, New York was playing the role of the roaring lion coming on to the rest of the league.

Something shady had to have been going on behind the scenes.
Patriots CB Leigh Bodden caught as many passes from Jets QB Mark Sanchez as WR Jerricho Cotchery (3 receptions for 84 yards) [...]

The rivalry of the decade between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts continues tonight on Sunday Night Football at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN. The Patriots come in with a 6-2 record and in first place in the AFC East, holding a two game lead on the New York Jets after defeating the Miami Dolphins 27-17. The Colts are undefeated at 8-0, having beaten the Houston Texans 23-20 to give them a three game lead in their division. This is the Patriots' sixth game of the season against an undefeated team, and the most significant AFC game since their 20-17 overtime loss to the Broncos at Denver. While this would be their biggest win of the season, a loss (and a Jets win vs. Jacksonville) would make their game at home versus the Jets next week a battle for first [...]
