Has there ever been a more disappointing 18-1 team in NFL history?  The New England Patriots lost the only game that counted, the Superbowl against the NY Giants.  The Patriots will bring back their record setting offense again this season.  There main concern is there offensive line, as every team in the league saw how to beat the Patriots in the Superbowl by getting to Brady.  The records of Tom Brady and the offense are widely-known, Brady's 50 TDs, Moss’ 23 or Moss and Welker combining for 210 catches.  They ranked at the top last year, 589 points, scoring at least 31 points in 12 of 16 regular season games.

Tom Brady had a high ankle sprain coming into the Superbowl and he just wasn't himself in Superbowl XLII.  He would never admit to it.  He is back now and fully healed so the NFL is once again going to have to get out of his way.  You can't convince Pats fans there's a better quarterback in the NFL.  Brady has yet to miss a start after taking over for Drew Bledsoe three games into the 2001 season.

New England is not going to go undefeated again this season.  They actually have a lot of games on their schedule where teams are out for revenge on them.  They play at San Diego, at Indianapolis and a home game with Pittsburgh.  Also there divisional rivals NY Jets are getting better by picking up Brett Favre and they have to play them twice.  This is talented team which finished number #1 last year in offense.  They will probably win the AFC East title once again for the third straight year.  My prediction is they will have 13 wins on the season going over the total for season wins.  The oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com currently have New England Patriots over 12 -175 NFL Regular Season Wins.
