"Brewski" picks the pats

It's simple-to be called the best you have to beat the best. The Patriots have been the best this decade and are probably the best team over the last 6 weeks. There's no disrespect in picking the established champions over the upstart hot-shots. I think Tedy Bruschi's analysis is actually pretty good if you read his articles.

I'd like to think the Saints secondary will be able to cover Moss and Welker long enough for the front 7 to get to Brady, but are we really that certain? Brady is easily the best QB the Saints have faced all year. He makes good decisions, gets rid of the ball quickly, and doesn't throw picks. This is going to be a tough, tough game and a good test of where the Saints really stand against the NFL elite. I'm not saying they won't pass the test, just that they need to pass to earn respect. A win isn't even as important as a solid showing.

Good post my friend. I agree 100%. This game will be a test that I hope the saints pass. But like some others here have stated, this game is really meaningless as for as the post season is concerned. It's just a measuring stick to see if indeed we are one of the elite.
