The New England Patriots Will Go Undefeated in 2008-2009

The first game of the preseason is over with, so here it goes: The New England Patriots will finish the 2008-2009 season undefeated. Perfect. 19-0.

They were the first team to win 16 games in the regular season, and they were the first team to have the 1976 Miami Dolphins put away the champagne for good. Tom Brady threw for 50 touchdowns, the most for a quarterback in a season Randy Moss had 23 touchdown receptions, the most for a receiver in a season. However, the Patriots just couldn't pull through in the big game. The Patriots are going to finish this season undefeated. Although the thought sounds crazy, is it really?
