Irrefutable proof of an upcoming Pats loss

In a rancorous press conference on the M.I.T. campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts, an enthusiastic Dr. Michael Klugerman announced the results of complex analysis he had just completed.

"I've run the numbers and, believe me, I can run the numbers," Dr. Klugerman explained .  "The New York Giants are a shoo-in for a Super Bowl win - even without the points!"

The Giants and the New England Patriots will be competing in the Super Bowl on February 3rd.  The Patriots have not lost this season, having won all 16 regular season games and 2 playoff games against undermanned and injured teams.  The Patriots easily defeated teams early on in the season but have failed to cover the spread in 7 of their last 8 games. 

In their game against the Ravens they were the recipients of some late favorable calls; in another game career backup A. J. Feeley almost led Philadelphia past the Patriots. In their final game in the regular season against the New York Giants the often questioned Patriots defense allowed 35 points - the most they'd allowed all season.

Asked by a young man from Westminster whether he'd be willing to bet on the game, Dr. Klugerman responded: "Window closed!" and scurried off the podium.
