Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Ron Paul Reacts To Maine Caucus Results
Another week, another game of the century.This time we'll have to wait through 15 other games -- until Monday night, when the Patriots face the Saints in New Orleans, the second meeting in three weeks with an unbeaten team for New England. And the second one in prime time, so the nation can watch to see if Bill Belichick, holding a six-point lead with two minutes left, might go for it on fourth-and-2 at his own 28 to keep the ball away from Drew Brees.
Given that situation again, he probably would. But not because a variety of "football scientists'' and mathematicians, who surfaced after the try in Indy. Belichick doesn't believe in cottage industries, publicity seekers or New York Times bloggers telling him what to do.
The odds guys make the Saints a three-point favorite in this one, meaning they (or the bettors) figure the teams are even and New Orleans gets the home field. Home field? The Pats might think so -- this is where they won the first of their Super Bowls, although other than Tom Brady and Kevin Faulk and Matt Light, there aren't any left from that game in January of 2002.
I keep thinking -- and writing -- that the Saints will lose one. But it's getting to crunch time. If it's not this one, then what? At Washington, at Atlanta, and home to Dallas are the next three. All possible (yes, even the Skins) but none as possible as this one.
Law of averages.
