"Who can defeat the mighty Patriots and the NY refs"...sad sack, punching bag Alex Smith brings his team back from the 1-6 ashes.
Brady's hurt ankle gives him an excuse...it's why I expected a late injury without a legitimate back-up.
The NFL executives know people are getting bored seeing the same teams in the SB...it's making the "product" stale.
