Ah, the Friday before Week 1 of the NFL season kicks off in earnest. It’s a time of limitless optimism for every fan base, as each team is 0-0 (except for the Chiefs lol) and could, possibly, make a run to the Super Bowl.
Well, SB Nation’s recent Reacts poll of New England Patriots (+4)
fans shows that not all “fan optimism” is created equal. Not even half (48%) of Pats fans think that their team will beat the Philadelphia Eagles (-4) on Sunday afternoon. Honestly, it’s really nice that Boston sports fans have been knocked down a peg or two in recent years.
