2012 New England Patriots Odds, Picks and Predictions: The Patriots are tired of the close but no cigar Superbowl trend that has been set after last year’s razor close loss to the Giants.

2012 New England Patriots Odds, Picks and Predictions Analysis: The Patriots have a roster equal to if not better than last year’s team that came a Hail Mary short of winning the Superbowl last year. The offense and defense has young players that are only getting better. Brady is in his prime at 35 years old and at times is unstoppable with his explosive playmaking tight ends in Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Wes Welker is still the master at finding soft spots in coverage and Brady’s rapport with him is unparallel. The offensive line is of the deadbolt variety with Brady’s jersey remaining clean no matter what injuries the Pats get hit with.

In today’s NFL all teams are willing to deal with some sore spots as long as the team is built for today’s aerial designed. Belichick made aggressive and intelligent moves to makeover his defense and even brought in his whiz kid offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Despite their defensive struggles the team has stars on all three units and should be much better. Special teams are great and the Pats do all of the little things well. This is the team to beat for 2012.
