More Impressive Defending Champs: Warriors Or Pats?

[onelastdeath]

Simple question. It just crossed my mind a few minutes ago. Both undefeated. Both captains playing like league MVPs. Both are favorites to win the ship again.

Which?

Obvious answer is Patriots because they've actually faced adversity so far

Warriors were down 20 to the Clips much like the Pats were down to my G Men

The one with the best record in their league.

Clips & Giants gon Clips & Giants

The Patriots because their personnel changes.

Also, each individual game of the football season is much more important than each basketball game simply because it's 16 games compared to 82.

I'll hold off judgment until the Warriors face the Spurs or Cavs, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see them get 69 or so wins this season (assuming health and they don't throw away games at the end of the year), but at the same time it wouldn't shock me to see the Pats go 18-0...

And then lose to the 18-0 Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl.

I usually hate comparison threads but this is a great question.

One team won it all last year under the shadow of controversy, suspicious circumstances and lingering questions about legitimacy of their championship.

The other team is the Patriots
