The New England Patriots are the Super Bowl favorites to start the season and that’s right where they belong. As a matter of fact, that is where they will belong for the next little while.

The Patriots won 11 games last year without Tom Brady, who has the potential to be an NFL MVP. Now that he’s back, the Patriots could be downright lethal.

The reason the Patriots are the favorites to win the Super Bowl is because we’re essentially talking about a team that went perfect through the regular season two years ago and has improved since.

Brady is back, the defense is younger and the offense has added some parts.

Joey Galloway and Fred Taylor were added in the offseason and both veterans could have very big impacts for their new team. If the Galloway and Taylor do add a new dynamic to an offense that trashed the record books in 2007, the Patriots could be unstoppable.

On defense, the Patriots are younger, faster and stronger than years before, which is a scary thought. They don’t need to have the best defense in the league – they just need a unit to slow teams down.

With the addition of Jerod Mayo last year and Derrick Burgess this year, the Patriots linebacking corps is revamped and it should be more than capable of slowing teams down.

This is the best coached team in the league and they don’t appear to have any holes. That’s why they are the favorites and that’s why they will be until someone shows us otherwise.
