This game will be interesting because I think McD will want to see the backups playing hard and they will relish the chance to play and be motivated to win.
The Pats on the other hand, are caught in the quandary of wanting to lose but not make it look obvious.
Old timers may remember it came down to the Bills and Eagles vying for the No 1 pick (OJ Simpson), and the Eagles inexplicably won a final game and had to settle for drafting Leroy Keyes at No 2.
