Oh, no debating that. Except these Pats are different than last year's Pats. The defense has improved since last year (hey, they didn't let Peyton Manning make idiots out of them this time!
), and Brady has a bunch of new automatons around him.
Oh and uh...the Saints lost to the Steelers who Brady wtfpwnt. Last year, they did take the W and even the BIG W in the super bowl, but...this year, it's a different Pats team.
As for why the Falcons are overrated:
1) They lost to a Vick-less Philly.
2) They got stupidly lucky against the Saints.
But mainly it's that when they came up to PA, they got stuffed. And one of those games was against a team with a backup QB playing.
Yes, the Falcons are solid, but they are
not the second best team in the NFL behind the Patriots IMO. Numbers in this case, do lie, if only ever so slightly.
