Sorry friend; NE has had Luck's number many times the last few years. Speaking unbiasedly - even though I am a Pats fan - Indy's defense has definitely improved since Week 11 when NE trounced them, but how much...that's to still be determined. I just think that the fact that Indy needs to come into Gillette in the blistering cold and in a venue that they have a really bad track record at, it's not going to be as close as people think it might. I'm a fan of Luck, but I don't think it's his time just yet in which he gets to go to a Super Bowl.
I haven't been following the rookie quarterbacks too much, but TB is still a long ways away from contending. I think the South is overall going to bounce back pretty well from this year - I'm still shocked that Rex Ryan didn't go to Atlanta for the head coaching job, but hey money talks and he got offered $25 million in a five year contract - and TB is still the weakest team in that division. Besides Garrapolo, Bridgewater is the only one I see value in if AP comes back the Vikings; Carr in my opinion is a little overhyped but that's just my opinion. I have Pats season tickets so I got to see Garrapolo play in Week 16 and he wasn't too bad. He's already as accurate as Brady (at his old age) on my opinion, he just needs to work on his pocket presence. Which, I think he'll just improve on in due time as he just needs to get rid of the rookie jitters. He also surprisingly has the legs like Wilson or Kaepernick, which could add a whole new dimension to the offense that NE has never experienced (at least as far I can think before Bledsoe.)
