4 Reasons Why The Patriots Are Tipped to Return to Next Year’s Super Bowl

by

The New England Patriots are picked to return to the Superbowl based on current NFL odds and it’s easy to see why. Bill Belichick has assembled a great roster which has balance, a good work ethic and most importantly a group of great players. The signing of Tim Tebow is really interesting and it will be a fantastic achievement by Belichick if he can fit Tebow into this team and help him to realize his potential. Here are 4 reasons why the Patriots are expected to return to the Super Bowl this coming season: 

Reason 1: Tom Brady 

There is obviously the stalwart that is Tom Brady, who claimed recently that he was back to full fitness and he is still full of the hunger and desire to lead the Patriots back to the Super Bowl. His recent commitment to the Pats by signing a contract extension for less money than he’s actually worth in the market shows his belief in this franchise and their current roster. If you were betting on the NFL it would be a brave man who backed against the Patriots to succeed. 

Do the Patriots have the commitment and quality to go all the way? This is an interesting question and one that Brady has asked himself before. He believes the team has a few wrongs to right with a 14-2 season, AFC Championship game and the Super Bowl appearances in the last few years not enough to satisfy his appetite for winning. If you are looking for NFL betting tips I would advise a small wager on Brady being the league MVP for the upcoming season. With his added desire, commitment and drive there is little doubt he will guide the Patriots over the line. 

Reason 2: The Roster 

The current roster is consistently being improved with the Patriots recently filling up their squad by signing rookie DL Anthony Rashad White. The NFL Super Bowl is the target for sure for this team and the current NFL odds reflect the great chance that the Pats have this year. A fantastic defensive unit is present on which to build a strong team and the offense is well known to be a very good unit. Any team in the NFL would love to have a quarterback trio of Tom Brady, Ryan Mallett and Tim Tebow and this will be an interesting season for the team. Despite the turmoil surrounding Aaron Hernandez and Alfonzo Dennard the roster is looking the strongest it has in years and the NFL Super Bowl odds are sure to reflect this. 

Reason 3: Bill Belichick 

The great coach is entering his 14th season as the head coach of the New England Patriots and the most important thing is still there: the fire in his belly. His influence and ability as a head coach is shown by his ranking by CBSSports.com as the NFL’s best coach despite having not won a Super Bowl in eight years. 

Belichick has only led the Patriots to one losing season (his first) and 3 Super Bowl titles in his time as head coach so he would be one of the top NFL betting picks to be leading his team to their 4th Super Bowl during his tenure at the franchise. 

Reason 4: The Offense 

Any NFL betting tips looking at offenses will certainly be including the Pats offense. Averaging 34.8 points per game in 2012 (the best record in the NFL) the Patriots will be that much more feared and provide headaches for the opposing teams, despite the loss of Wes Welker, Brandon Lloyd, Danny Woodhead and Aaron Hernandez. 

A great blend between rushing and passing (in the top 10 in 2012 in both spheres), it will take a team with great defense to stop the Pats from steamrolling other NFL teams this season, especially with Brady and company looking to correct a few mistakes which has gnawed at them from the past. 

Overall the season is looking extremely promising for the New England Patriots this season. These 4 reasons are definitely not exhaustive and there are many other areas in which the Patriots are quite strong, but these are definitely good reasons why people who give insightful NFL betting tips are strongly behind the Pats making the Super Bowl this year. Let’s just hope they can live up to their lofty billing fulfill their great promise.

A new Patriots season means it’s time for many a new delight for one and all in Patriots Nation. Including a new Under Armour/Dick’s Sporting Goods/FunnyorDie video. Not bad. A watchable three minutes, especially for us TFB maniacs and Keep Calm and Brady On types. Think I liked last year’s better. But it’s football. And anything that feeds the #footballboner at this point is welcome.

Some random musings…

by

Only a couple more days until it all begins, and then we can stop speculating and talking about last season and focus on new, real information. Yay. Couple thoughts I’ve been kicking around…

– While the receivers will be a huge focus as far as the training camp battles go, I think the fate of the 2013 rests in the hands of the defense taking the next step. They have a lot of players who have (or had) potential, now is the time for a few of them to take a big leap.

– I don’t know why but I’m not overly optimistic about Chandler Jones becoming the next JPP or Demarcus Ware this year. I’m not usually one to worry, but I’m concerned that Jones isn’t quite the player we all thought he would be based on the first two months of last season. Hope I’m wrong.

– On the other hand I’m not concerned at all about Dont’a Hightower and think he’ll be a real force on the edge this year. If the Pats do use more 3-4, I think Hightower could really flourish, though he’s a good fit at SLB too in the 4-3. The big question is how much he plays on passing downs.

– Suddenly seems like everyone is high on Shane Vereen being a huge weapon. I’m a little more guarded in my optimism, and his injury history and ability as a blocker still concern me. Again, I hope I’m wrong, but I still wouldn’t be surprised to see Leon Washington out there in passing situations this year.

– Armond Armstead has been penciled into just about everyone’s intial 53-man roster, but he ended up on the PUP list with a non-football sickness. Not sure what this means, and how it might relate to his heart attack, but he seemed okay last season in the CFL, so it’s hard to know what’s going on. But the Pats definitely need him and if he can’t go Marcus Forston and Joe Vellano better be ready.

– Josh Boyce is not on the PUP list and that’s great news. Something tells me we’ll be hearing his name a lot in the next couple weeks.

– Finally had to write a Tebow article last week and I was shocked by how defensive some of his supporters can be. I have no Tebow bias either way, and was simply laying out an X and O plan of how he could carve out a role. Not good enough for Tebow-heads. Apparently anything less than him beating out Brady for the starting QB job is an unacceptable projection.

– Really not looking forward to when the injuries start coming. There’s nothing worse than losing guys in August, and it makes truly projecting the team almost impossible at this point. Some of the best Pats teams have made it through the season relatively healthy, let’s hope this year’s version can do the same.

– BB’s presser should be entertaining, but I think at this point even the media members are unsure what BB can even say regarding Hernandez at this point. I’m sure that won’t stop some of them from pressing the issue once BB is done talking about it, and that’s when the fun starts.

New podcast coming later this morning, hope you join us!
