OK, numerology fans, here's one for you.

The Pats lost their first Super Bowl 46-10. Eleven years later, they lost 35-21.

Note that eleven years later, the Pats scored 11 more points than their first appearance, while the winning team scored 11 less.

Five years later, that would argue for a 30-26 loss for the Pats.

Of course, you could argue that the matching 11 point swings will happen again, and have the Pats win 32-24. Going along this route has them walking away with their next Super Bowl appearance 43-13, and a 54-2 whitewashing the time after that.

Needless to say, I think numerology is a lot of bunk. But I figure someone would appreciate it.
