New England Patriots favored to win Superbowl LXIV

Odds makers have been saying since the second week of February that the Pats are the odds on favorites to win Superbowl LXIV.

Several "firsts" will occur.

Miami will become the first metro-area in the United States to have hosted 10 Superbowls.

This will be the first Super Bowl telecast solely digitally.

This will be the first Superbowl to use four different Roman numerals.

I am sure there are many more records and "firsts" that will be relevant to the Patriots team, but I will post them as we get into this promising season.

(I haven't posted for a while, but with the Red Sox in playoff contention, the Pats, Celts and Broons all poised for playoff runs, I'll need to get back to writing this secondary blog with a little more seriousness. Around World Series time, I'll write a review of Lost Son of Havana and prove once and for all why it is a travesty that Luis Tiant is not in the Hall of Fame.)
