2007 New England Patriots Predictions & Season Preview

Now check out our 2008 New England Patriots NFL Season Predictions!

The New England Patriots spent a lot of money in the off-season to make sure that the 2007 season doesn't end up just short like the 2006 campaign.  The Pats had the Colts on the ropes only to let them off the hook, so they really loaded up on offense to give Tom Brady a few weapons to get the team scoring points.  This will be one of the most fun teams to watch this season and their difficult schedule will have a lot of marquee matchups.  Anything less than a Super Bowl ring would be considered a disappointment.

Brady is as good as it gets at the quarterback position and it could be scary what kind of season he has with a few weapons at his disposal.  Laurence Maroney will have a chance to shine now that Corey Dillon is gone, but he has never been a featured back.  He only had 175 carries last year but racked up 745 yards on the ground.  Kevin Faulk is an excellent 3rd down back who caught 43 passes a year ago.  Two excellent receivers were added in the off-season to stretch the field.  The team is hoping Randy Moss can return to his Minnesota form and Dante Stallworth is speedy and coming off a decent year in Philadelphia.  Wes Welker was brought in as a possession receiver, and Ben Watson is a decent enough tight end who will benefit from the additions.

The front of the New England defense is very talented with Richard Seymour commanding double teams on every down and Ty Warren learning by his example.  Vince Wilfork is one of the best nose tackles in the game.  Adalius Thomas was the big name acquisition on the defense and he can play almost anywhere.  Tedy Bruschi, Mike Vrabel, and Rosevelt Colvin are three solid, intelligent linebackers who know how to make plays.  This is a tough group for the opposition.  Asanta Samuel's holdout hurts the Patriots because they aren't real deep at corner.  The safeties will have to battle age and coming off of injures.  This team's weakness is in the secondary.

Jimmy Boyd and his staff has 11 wins pegged for the Patriots in 2007.  When you take that along with the underdog value we are getting on the under then this is a medium sized play that we feel pretty good about.  The tough schedule will leave this team likely to have 5 or more losses.  The odds to win the Super Bowl and the rest of the props are so steep that even though they are our favorite team to do so, we don't recommend these wagers.  If you want additional help in beating the NFL odds then pick up an NFL picks package from Jimmy Boyd before the season even begins.
