I believe the Pats have won every game fair and square (I'm not about to say that video taping or questionable calls have given them their success), but with the ratings of the Monday night game, the longer the Pats stay undefeated....it looks like the higher the ratings will be.

ESPN football earns record ratings
Game drew a total of 17.5 million viewers

More people watched the New England Patriots squeeze past the Baltimore Ravens on ESPN's "Monday Night Football" than viewed any other program in the history of cable TV.

Game drew a total aud of 17.5 million viewers, besting the previous record of 17.2 million set in August by Disney Channel's "High School Musical 2."

The Patriots are undefeated and could end up as the second NFL team ever to go through an entire season without a loss (the Miami Dolphins did it in 1972).

ESPN's Monday cablecast of the Patriots-Ravens bout finished first for the night among programs on all broadcast and cable nets in total viewers and in all of the key adult demographics.

Eleven of the 12 most-watched shows on cable TV in 2007 are "Monday Night Football" games on ESPN. In November, the cabler parlayed "MNF" into a victory for the entire month in primetime, winding up a strong No. 1 among all ad-supported cable nets in total viewers, adults 18-49, adults 25-54 and adults 18-34.

Steelers-Pats should get great ratings on Sunday.

I'm giving a 100% lock that the Steelers win this game. The steelers O, while not that great is consistant and doesn't turn it over too often. The Pat's D is looking tired and old, and just very average as of now. The steeler's D speaks for itself with it's blitzing that constantly gets to the QB to disrupt, which coincidentally has been shown to sputter the Pats O. It's the perfect pats beating storm.

I will take the Pats and give the points...
...only b/c of the Steelers' Smith mouthing off and guaranteeing a win. I predict at least two 4th quarter run-up scores to drive home the point.

Point goes to Fumbles.

I'm glad you're not a betting man.
