New England Patriots (16-0) Vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (11-5)

The undefeated Patriots have found a way to win all season long and a proud recent post-season record will have them buzzing with confidence.

2007′s most productive connection of quarterback Tom Brady downfield to wide receiver Randy Moss has been the focal point of the New England offence. The Jaguars defence will know where the ball’s going, but like every other team this season, will struggle to shut it down.

QB David Garrard has been a revelation behind centre for the Jags, and Maurice Jones-Drew provides a more than solid option in the running game. It’s just a shame Jacksonville have no wide-outs who will threaten the Pats’ cornerbacks.

While the Patriots do have some concerns on defence, especially in the linebacking ranks, their experience and championship winning attitude should see them through to the AFC Championship game.

And with injuries mounting up on defence for the Jaguars, this one could get ugly against one of the most efficient offensive units in the league.

Prediction: Patriots
