Official Prediction:

I expect the Patriots to go 3-1. The Patriots offense will still be able to dominate the Texans, Lions, and Dolphins, but the Jaguars are going to be a contender in the AFC. They have one of the best defenses in the league and even though the Patriots defeated them in the playoffs last year, the Pats are a completely different team.

Things just got a lot more interesting at Patriots minicamp. The New England Patriots have had to deal with the stigma that they are cheaters. Opposing fans will use this as another opportunity to say that the Patriots aren’t as good as there record shows.

It seemed like it would be smooth sailing since Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski returned to camp, but we were sadly mistaken.
