2006 Patriots Football

After a tough loss to Denver in the playoffs last season, the 2006 Patriots football team is looking to get back to the Super Bowl.  New England suffered some key names departing in the off-season when Adam Vinatieri signed with the Colts, Willie McGinest went to the Cleveland Browns, and David Givens joined the Titans, but Bill Belichick has always found a way to win and this year we think it's not going to be any different.  The team's only real key addition was Reche Caldwell at the wide receiver position, but just getting everyone to stay healthy this year would be a huge bonus for the Patriots.

You can't talk offensively about 2006 Patriots football without starting with Tom Brady.  This guy is the heart and sole of the team with his three Super Bowls rings and is going to be healthy again this season after getting an operation on the sports hernia that was bothering him much of last year.  Even with his injury problems he compiled more passing yards than anyone else in the league at 4,110 yards, 26 TDs, and 14 INTs.  Plan on more of the same with him this season, but there will be more of a balance as Corey Dillon will start the year healthy and even if he isn't, the Pats got a solid backup in the NFL draft with Laurence Maroney out of Minnesota.  Both of these guys should help improve the 24th ranked rushing offense from a year ago.  With there next three picks in the draft the Pats went after targets for Brady, and got a great one in Chad Jackson out of Florida.  The loss of Givens will hurt, but Brady will still have Jackson, Troy Brown, and Deion Branch making this a formidable air attack.

Defensively this line is almost as good as it gets in the NFL, with one of the best players in the league, Richard Seymour, playing at the end.  He had an injured knee that forced him to miss some time last year, and you really got a good look at how much he meant to this side of the ball with the team struggling in his absence.  Vince Wilfork came on strong in the second half of the season and is a promising player for this year at nose tackle.  The Pats like to play a lot of 3-4, but they are going to need someone to step up at the 4th linebacker position this year.  Mike Vrabel and Roosevelt Colvin are perfect fits for the outside positions and Tedy Bruschi should be in better form this season after missing the first part of last season due to an off-season stroke.  The secondary is going to be the team's weak spot, especially if Rodney Harrison can't recover completely from his knee injury. 

The 2006 Patriots football schedule is going to be very favorable for them picking up a lot of wins and getting some home field advantage in the playoffs.  The AFC East gets to play the NFC North which will only have Chicago as a real threat.  This team should be able to lock up another division title, but the Miami Dolphins will be close on their heels.  We think the Pats will do some damage in the playoffs before getting beat out in the AFC Championship game by the Indianapolis Colts.  11-5 is the most likely regular season total, so bet the Over 10.5 at Bookmaker and cash in on Brady and company.
