Joe

The average is around 64%.

He can scramble.

He's become kind of a, I don't know, like some kind of a cultural leader, maybe.

I mean, I see him do his press conferences and he just looks so young.

Sure sign we're getting old, but he does.

But this guy's having an incredible second year.

Yeah, well, it's some turnaround because we were just checking the last time I spoke to you.

Jared Mayo just been fired and the Patriots were four wins, 13 losses.

So this is incredible.

So you mentioned the easy run.

You know, if you look at kind of, I guess, how the odds makers see this, the Patriots, as well as they've done, are still down the scale a little bit.

So, you know, of the 17 games the Patriots have played, three were against teams that have finished the year with a winning record.

And they did lose two of those games, albeit earlier in the season.

So, I don't know, I guess the...

The optimistic version is you say, well, the 99 Rams famously had a very easy run.

It didn't stop them winning the Super Bowl.

And maybe a team like with a first time coach, you know, a coach in his first year in Vrabel and a quarterback finding his feet in his second year.

You know, you can make an allowance that they'll grow during the season and maybe the schedule and the Patriots may collide beautifully here and they'll arrive kind of ready made come Super Bowl time.

But most people aren't buying that.

They're thinking, no, this is just too easy.
