New England Patriots 2006 Review

2007 Preview: NFL football betting fans see that New England made many off season moves in an attempt to shore up weaknesses, particularly in the receiving corps.  Football betting fans see that they signed Randy Moss and Dante Stallworth but did lose running back Corey Dillon. NFL betting fans know that they also picked up a top defensive player in Adalius Thomas.  Football betting players believe that 2007 could be a breakout season for running back Laurence Maroney. NFL betting players think that the trio of Moss, Stallworth and Welker could provide the Patriots with a top-notch receiving group in 2007.

The 2007 schedule includes home/away games with their AFC East Division rivals of Miami, Buffalo and the New York Jets. The Patriots also face the tough NFC East in addition to having games against the AFC South and AFC North. They also get AFC West powerhouse San Diego in the 2nd week of the season.

Offense: Football betting players think that the offense lives and dies with quarterback Tom Brady and most of the time that is very good news.  Brady has become one of the league’s top quarterbacks.  Football betting fans know that the running game loses Corey Dillon but Laurence Maroney looked like a very capable replacement last season.  Football betting fans think that the receiving corps should be better as the team added Stallworth, the troublesome Moss and Welker.  Football betting fans know that even if Moss does nothing the additions of Stallworth and Welker are huge.
 
Defense: Football betting fans think that a huge free agent addition is Linebacker Adailus Thomas.  He should immediately make an impact with the Patriots.  The Patriots do need to resign CB Asante Samuel if they don’t want to take a hit in the secondary as Samuel is asking for more money.  Football betting fans know that they also signed Randall Gay and drafted safety Brandon Meriweather.

Forecast:  Football betting fans believe that the Patriots look loaded.  Brady gets quality receivers to help the offense and the defense adds Thomas.  NFL betting fans believe that if the team stays healthy they are the team to beat in the AFC ahead of the Super Bowl Champion Indianapolis Colts.  Football betting players know that if Moss is not a disruptive influence this could be another Super Bowl team for the Patriots.
