Of coarse, they have made some great offseason moves which has given Brady more targets such as Donte' Stallworth and Randy Moss.
They also picked up Adalius Thomas but got rid of Corey Dillon. and if they go up against the Colts again they will beat them because they lost an explosive linebacker Cato June they traded him to the bucs they will win #4.

Their offense is more beefed up than last season. They have a better chance than any other team to get there and win it (IMHO). However, alot of teams have made it to the superbowl and beat the favorite with a good game plan and intangibles. The Patriots were one of those teams (Pats over Rams) that year they won their very first superbowl!
It's not a lock, but they do seem like the one team with the best chance because of Tom Brady, the coach and a better all around team (on paper) this season!

No. One simple reason, Randy Moss. Randy Moss is the biggest clubhouse cancer in the league, next to T.O. Even the great Bill Belichick or Tom Brady will not be able to get him to be a team player. He has been a problem everywhere he has been, and New England is no exception. For the guy below me who says that Randy Moss never did anything to hurt the team in Oakland, what are YOU talking about? He took plays off, shot is mouth off constantly, complained about everyone who was at QB, criticized his coach and offensive coordinator, and the list goes on. Every coach thinks "When he gets to our team he is going to be a different player." If that were the case, why is he going on his third team? Why did everyone who had a chance to get him turn the Raiders down. Why did they want to move him as bad as they were last year? Many questions with no answers.
Most analysts that I have heard after the trade think it is a desperation move and is doomed to failure (Chris Mortensen and John Clayton from ESPN both are on the record stating as such) and I agree with them. It really is too bad because I like Tom Brady and Rodney Harrison is from the Chicago area, and was a couple of years behind me in high school. I would like to see them do well, I just don't think it's going to happen.

Most likely. Patriots are fully stacked up and ready. Even with a number of shortcomings last year, they almost beat the Colts. This could very well be there season.

Yes. Tom Brady didn't have the wide outs last year that he has now and he almost beat Indy. NE has to be the favourite to reach the super bowl. Indy is one and done

With more firepower ( Moss, Stallworth,Welker & Washington) the Pats need to win home field in the playoffs,having said that ---it will still be diffacult vs. Colts, Bolts,Ravens & Denver.

Yes they will, the additions of Randy Moss and Donte Stallworth will boost Tom Brady's offense and Adalius Thomas will be dominant! Go Pats!

Belichek is a good coach so they have a good chance, but my money is on the Colts repeating next year. Dungy's cover 2 defensive scheme keeps getting better, no matter who is playing in it, and with the addition of Anthony Gonzalez in the slot, their offense is even more potent.

In my humble opinion, they seem to have the best chance. Solid coaching. Game proven QB. Added weapons this year on offense to stretch the field for a vertical game. Strong veteren defense.
