We will certainly see a split among the national media, many of whom got embarrassed when they picked the Colts, then burned again when they picked the Steelers. They will jump wholeheartedly to the Pats now because they do not want to look silly picking against them three times on the way to their second consecutive SB.
On the other side, many pundits are inclined to root for the underdog. Can't blame them for that. Frankly, the only dynasties I want are for my home team. Dynasities for other cities can be depressing.
The two Boomers, Esiason and Berman, have been picking the Pats all along. It will be intesting to see how former players from other dynasties (Dallas, SF, Pitt) pick. I suspect they go against the Pats in the hope that their dynasties are not threatened.
