2007 AFC Division Champions

November 25, 2007

With the Buffalo Bills loss to the Jaguars, the Patriots have clinched the 2007 AFC East division title.At 10-0, the next best team in the AFC is the Colts at 8-2.  So, the magic number for 1st seed is four, because the Patriots have the head-to-head victory.  So, the Colts need to finish a full game ahead to place first. Since the Patriots will likely finish with the 1st seed, I have to wonder, if it comes down to a meaningless final couple of weeks, will Belichick go for undefeated, or will he play the backups?
