Just saying parity in the NFL my go beyond what we think it is. Any business that generates that much money, be it the NFL, or American Idol, doesnt live on chance alone. Seeing them come out and play the way they "didnt" after how they played all year has really made me question the integrity of the league. And really it only takes 1-2 individuals on a team to make the difference.
New England needed a rival in the AFC East, so the NFL has manufactured one. The regular season may be played normally, but when it comes to the playoffs and Superbowl, who knows what influences can be applied by the NFL, and Las Vegas.
Most likely that 45-3 game was setup for the playoffs so the odds were even bigger.
I love football, but when I see stuff like this it makes me wonder how long it could have been going on.
