Well, the preseason is almost here. This thread will be for predictions for the upcoming NFL season, and talk for the Pats along with any other news throughout the season. Think of it as the official NFL thread for the upcoming season.
Anyway, my predicitons (a star designates a wild card team):
AFC
East
New England Patriots (11-5)
Miami Dolphins (10-6)
New York Jets (7-9)
Buffalo Bills (6-10)
North
Cincinnati Bengals (12-4)
Pittsburgh Steelers* (11-5)
Baltimore Ravens (9-7)
Cleveland Browns (3-13)
South
Indianapolis Colts (13-3)
Jacksonville Jaguars (10-6)
Tennessee Titans (7-9)
Houston Texans (5-11)
West
Kansas City Chiefs (12-4)
Denver Broncos* (11-5)
San Diego Chargers (8-8)
Oakland Raiders (7-9)
NFC
East
Dallas Cowboys (12-4)
Washington Redskins* (10-6)
New York Giants (9-7)
Philadelphia Eagles (5-11)
North
Chicago Bears (10-6)
Minnesota Vikings (7-9)
Green Bay Packers (7-9)
Detroit Lions (3-13)
South
Carolina Panthers (12-4)
Atlanta Falcons* (10-6)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7)
New Orleans Saints (6-10)
West
Seattle Seahawks (11-5)
Arizona Cardinals (9-7)
St. Louis Rams (7-9)

Playoffs
Wildcard
Patriots > Broncos
Chiefs > Steelers
Seahawks > Falcons
Redskins > Bears
Divisional
Patriots > Colts
Bengals > Chiefs
Redskins > Panthers
Cowboys > Hawks
Conference
Patriots > Bengals
Cowboys > Redskins
Superbowl
Patriots > Cowboys
Don't jump on me. It's very likely that they could win another superbowl. Everyone's healthy, Brady creates wide receivers out of what seems to be nothing, and Bill Belichick is still the head coach.
