"Y'all ain't winning the Super Bowl. I'm telling you to your face right there, as a New England Patriot - you ain't winning the Super Bowl, okay. You ain't beating Seattle. Right now, the New England Patriots - listen, it was a nice run. It was really, really nice. It's going to be a competitive Super Bowl, I have no doubt, because the New England Patriots defense is real."
"New England's offense has averaged just 18.0 points per game through three playoff games - although those three games were against opponents who all ranked in the top-five in total defense in the Chargers (No. 5), Texans (No. 1), and Broncos (No. 2). Still, Smith believes that the Patriots have had several breaks go their way en route to a 14-3 regular-season record and a trip to Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8."
One win separates the New England Patriots from a seventh Super Bowl title. Critics cite a lighter regular-season schedule and several fortunate breaks as reasons the Patriots' path has been discounted. Questions persist about the Patriots' offense after it averaged just 18.0 points per game across three playoff games against top-five total defenses: Chargers (No. 5), Texans (No. 1), and Broncos (No. 2). Some forecasts predict the Patriots will lose to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX despite a real defense and a 14-3 regular-season record that culminated with a trip to Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8.
