Default Three Peat?

Does anyone think the Patriots are going to three peat? I personally picked the Patriots to win this year once the playoffs started but I do not think they will be able to three-peat and I would think it would be risky to bet on the three-peat when no team in the super bowl era has done it? But with that said I am not sure who will be able to dethron them (maybe the Eagles if they use their salary cap space, possibly the Ravens with Moss and some other moves, people will say Indy but if they play NE in the playoffs NE has their number). I think the AFC east is a good division that is getting better with the Jets and Bills and I think it will be hard for the Pats to do it again esecially with their cordinators gone. Any opinions?

They have a good shot but I don't think they will. One the plus side they still have most of their players returning and Belichick will obviously remain the head coach. They do play in the much stronger conference so they'll have to go through that gauntlet again as well. But they are losing both of their coordinators that Belichick has had for so many years now. I think losing Charlie Weis is a much bigger blow than losing Crennel was. Even if they have to go out and find a new defensive coordinator, Belichick can 'lean' that way for a year if he needs to since thats what he used to do under Parcells. But its gonna be really tough for them to find someone as good as Weis was.

Haven't you learned anything about the Bill Cowher years in Pittsburgh? Next year has 9-7 written all over it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img].

Yep if they keep the team together they'll definitely be able to beat the pats in the post season next year! I mean...duh, with both teams pretty much the same they're SURE to win it. They looked great this year. And Bettis was rather helpful, they probably won't be graced with is presence next post season.


Ummm...pats to Threepeat. Where's a good place to make NFL futures bets online?

The answer to this question is more or less: no.

There's an article about the Eagles upcoming offseason here

For the Steelers I think that the Ravens will give them a run for the North Division and I also think the Bengals are getting close to being a playoff team. The Colts are a team in which I would want their offensive players on my fantasy team but they seem to be too much of an offensive team and i besides the Rams( which actually had a decent defense) i cant think of team with a great offense that scored 500 pts in season has won the super bowl without a pretty good d.
