Tuesday, the dead day of the NFL week. Sadly there are only five regular season games left, so I’m starting to get a little depressed with the end in sight. Of course that means the playoffs are just around the corner which is really what Patriots fans have been waiting for since last year.

The first overall seed is still very much in the Pats’ grasp and would be preferable to help avoid facing the Ravens or Steelers in the divisional game since I’m guessing whichever one doesn’t win the AFCN gets the 5 seed. I think it goes without saying that Houston, Oakland, and Cincinnati are far more preferable for the Pats.
