Patriots winning % against AFCN 2 of 2 = 100%Yes.
Yes...for a good team such as NE...the soft DIV gives you a leg up on the other AFC contenders when it comes to home field through out, conf record tiebreakers, etc.
For a team with a bad '14 record like say, ATL. They have solid pcs, but injuries, bad HC moves, and a bad DEF resulted in a terrible record...this season they get to play teams that probably have more deficiencies than they do...so it's possible they will have a better record than what the roster should suggest...typically you will get exposed come playoff time.
Patriots winning % against the league 17 - 4 - 81%
Patriots winning % against the AFCE 4 - 2 = 67%
Keep throwing this crap up there - maybe it will stick!
It sure feels better than admitting that the Patriots are just good......
