Of course, it'd be disingenuous to suggest it's all about the stadiums. Call me a snob, but here in the Quarterback League, I'll take Rodgers (No. 1) and Russell Wilson (No. 2) over Mark Sanchez's Eagles, Drew Stanton's Cards and either of those two guys wearing silver-and-blue 9s (at least 'til one of 'em does something in the postseason). I think the Seahawks should be grandfathered onto this list. Yes, they were defeated by the Cowboys at the Clink back in October, but that was at a time when the Legion of Boom was beat up and the defending champs were struggling to regain their swagger. Now the Seahawks are back, and there's no team -- not even the mighty Packers -- who would beat them in their house in January. The New England Patriots hold the NFL's biggest home-field advantage at this time. They're a dominant squad that is nearly impossible to knock off in front of the raucous crowds that fill Gillette Stadium. And then there's the weather. Though it's rarely a major factor in early-season matchups, inclement weather -- combined with a sloppy field -- often means a team must be constructed a certain way (physical in nature and possessing a powerful running game, a stifling defense and a strong-armed quarterback who can make pinpoint throws in messy conditions) to win late in the year in Foxborough. Tom Brady continues to excel in such conditions, the Pats' ground attack is showing life behind a workhorse in LeGarrette Blount and their defense is stout. It will be hard for any team to topple these AFC heavyweights at their place. Fans are a lot better now than they once were at disrupting visiting teams; they know exactly when to turn up the noise. Here's how I'd rank the toughest places to play:
