In order:
1) Colts
2) Jaguars
3) Buccaneers (Yes, that's right)
4) Cowboys
5) Steelers

only a team that has already faced them has a chance. a team that already has seen their personnel and schemes up close and personal even has a remote of a chance to do it.

with that said, the list is all wrong. because NO AFC team will defeat them at home in the playoffs. new england is a harsh place to play during the winter.

but a team that has already faced them and has experience against them, in a neutral site, can defeat them.

that team will be the dallas cowboys. if of course, the cowboys make it that far.

The question is which team has the best chance. Not which team WILL beat them. The whole point of the thread is which team has the best chance. If you dont believe they will lose then theres really no purpose responding. If i wanted that response id have posted it on the NE board.

At this point I think the Jags are the second best team in the AFC. They can run the ball, they have a QB that doesn't turn it over, and they still have a pretty good defense.

what is this, "a respond robotically to my demand" thread?!?! or do you want individuals to think outside of the box? individuals who can see into the future and predict outcomes? individuals who know football? wise sage like individuals?

alright then, go ahead and POLL AWAY!

thing is skewed, fixed, weighted and slanted anyway! sound like a pac-10 ref.

No, you still dont get it, i wanted a response about a specific scenario. If i wanted to know whether people thought NE would lose or not i would have asked THAT, but i didnt.

defending SB champions who was 5 mins away from beating them. its unlikely but colts have the best chance.

Probably the Colts. But I don't see them, going into the cold and beating New England.

A lot of people have been throwing the Jags out there, but I think they would get smoked by New England. Especially in New England, in the cold. As good as a year, Garrard has had, I still don't trust him. New England has played, and spanked better defenses and running games as well.

It is the best team I have ever seen, and don't expect them to be beat, but out of everyone the Colts. They are the defending champs, and they do have Manning, who is 1a-1b depending on how you look at it. I think the loss of Freeney really hurts them against New England though.

AFC: Jags
NFC: Seahawks

If New England played in a dome I'd be inclined to say the Colts, but if there ins bad weather in the New England area and the Jags come to town, that could spell toruble for the pats.

The Jags style is perfect for the New England winter weather.

probably the fact that theyre from FLA. those boys will be hurting when they take a hit in 10degree weather.
or maybe it was that little 28-3 episode. the jags dont scare me at all

Yeah, because the Jags were really hurting after playing Pitts in the snow a few weeks ago...

I jsut fail to see any proof that the Jags would play bad in cold weather. If anything the Jags are built for the cold as well as pretty much any team in the NFL.
