I'm a Patriots fan.
This is their 8th Super Bowl Appearance, and they've lost four - XX (Bears), XXXI (Packers), XLII, XLVI (Giants for both).
If they lose, they'll be in sole possession of most Super Bowl losses of any team.
Go Patriots!

I'll let the New York Times make that argument because, well, you have no reason to doubt them.
