Critics pick Patriots over undefeated Saints

If you read my blog, which nobody actually does, you know I am not a fan of the New England Patriots. One of the major reasons I don't like them is their arrogance and pride as illustrated in the video below.

The Saints are 10-0, playing some excellent ball. The Patriots are 7-3 and have already lost to the undefeated Indianapolis Colts. So what does ESPN say about the game? Marcellus Wiley and Tedy Bruschi (who is a former Patriot himself) both pick the 'amazing' Patriots to win. They give no respect to a Saints team that is undefeated, and refuse to acknowledge a Patriots team that is weak defensively.

Instead they talk about how the Patriots have played in Big Games before? Big Games? You mean like the Super Bowl where they could have become the only team since 1972 to finish a season undefeated? Why didn't you win that one Bruschi?

UPDATE:
In spite of claims by Bruschi and even Phil Simms, the Saints rose to the occasion with a 38-17 Shellacking of the Patriots.
