To play on Sunday are division rivals Pats and Jets in the first leg of the playoffs. The coaches, Bellichick & Mangini, already hate each other and it seems the rivalry is heating up for this rubber game between the two teams this season. Although the Jets are all-time 48-45-1 over the Patriots, they have only met once in the Postseason which the Patriots won, back in 1985 (bodes well). Globe writer Dan Shaughnessey is referring this matchup as 'the Inaugural Hate Bowl' and is drawing on Sox-Yanks like intensity. I don't think its got that far yet... However, its an important one for the Patriots to win if they really want to establish themselves in football history as a post-Cowboys dynasty led by Tom Brady. Postseason gets me pumped, however there is no terrestrial coverage for UK Patriots fans apart from highlights on Monday night at 12 on ITV1. Make sure to check it out. Sky is covering some of the other wildcard games this weekend also. Go Pats.

I reckon it's gonna be good. Luckily Pats offensively are in a straong position with the likes of Tom Brady and Corey Dillon. Defensively, not so sure. However, only time will tell.
