I remember in '83? (when we set the points record) that we hadn't been favored by more than 10 until we blew out the Rams on MNF. Then the spreads shot up, and I remember we were favored by 14.5 over Philly that year (cause I lost some money:-(

The offense can get untracked 'cause I think they know they can't win this if they stay conservative. Playing keep-away by running 3 plays worth of time off the clock won't work against this team. I hope they go back to high-percentage quick passes, especially on first down. As I've said in another post, they seem to be successful with it. I hope they don't try to air it out very much, 'cause they're not getting reliable yardage per play and they frequently need 3 downs to get the first. In addition, JC's long ball needs some work (no hang time.)

If the offense can hang in there and the DBs (esp. Springs) are able to play we might do respectably.
Of course, if Brady gets all day...
