I read an article from a mainstream non sports outlet recently and they gushed over the ratings a NE/TB Superbowl would do compared to all others. Although Dallas vs Buffalo was 3rd best.  Bottom line, I'm worried the NFL has this in mind , I mean the storylines would be endless. The ratings a once in a lifetime occurrence.   It would not surprise me the least bit to see the refs heavily favor NE in a gm where a couple of holding calls could make a huge dent.    Edit - h
