Even Without Brady, Favre Says Pats Team To Beat
11/09/2008 05:13
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Brett Favre brushed up on his recent AFC East history and discovered what he already figured. It's mostly been New England at the top, and then everyone else.
"The Patriots really have had the upper hand on everybody in this division for quite a while," the New York Jets quarterback said Wednesday. "They've really dominated everyone, not just in this division. We'd like to change that."
They could start this Sunday when the teams meet in the latest chapter of their intense rivalry, especially with Tom Brady lost for the year due to a knee injury.
Some fans and members of the media believe there will certainly be a dropoff with Matt Cassel now leading New England. The AFC East will be a wide-open race, they say, and the Jets have a good chance to dethrone the Patriots, who have won the division six of the last seven seasons.
Hold on just a second, Favre insists.

Interesting anyalysis by Favre, but excuse me if I have to strongly disagree with Brett on this one.
