I don't think they're calculating the odds using statistics. I do think it's a legitimate guess that the Pats will win again. They went 18-1 two years ago, and 11-5 with a quarterback who had never started an NFL game. Having one of the best quarterbacks come back from injury has to give them a leg up on the competition.
I'm no Pats fan, but I sure as heck don't want to play them this year.
As your answer states your source is far from scientific. I might add that since your source is calculating odds of winning it will inherently not favor Pittsburgh because they have already won more super bowls than anyone else making them statistically less likely to win. However that does not account for the many other variables like starting line-up, injury list, game schedules, bye week, preperation prior to season, etc.
