NFL Playoff Prediction: New England Patriots Will Add Another Super Bowl Trophy

Can you believe the New England Patriots have not won a Super Bowl since 2004? It’s been too long and the team is too good not to have captured another title since then.

They came so close in 2007, but fell to the New York Giants after an unprecedented 18-0 run through the regular season and playoffs.

Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the rest of the Pats will avenge that loss and their postseason disappointments of recent years when they hoist the Lombardi Trophy on February 5, 2012 in Indianapolis.

At 9-3 right now, the Patriots have one of the easiest upcoming schedules in the league and should easily be the No. 1 seed in the AFC come playoff time once again.

The Texans and Ravens share a similar record but Houston lost two quarterbacks and will certainly lose a few games on the road to their first postseason appearance, while Baltimore still needs to get past tricky teams like the Chargers and Bengals.

With the No. 1 or even No. 2 seed at worst, the Pats will get to rest and work on getting their weak defense up to speed, while their opponent grinds out a tough win in the Wild Card round.

The offense is getting it done without a problem, easily averaging the most yards in the league and showing solid balance with the run and pass. They also trail only Green Bay in points scored and can win a shootout with anyone.

I can’t imagine the Patriots faltering in their first playoff game like they did last year to the Jets, and the year prior to the Ravens. They will win and make it to the AFC Championship game, win there and head to the Super Bowl.

No one in the NFC will give them a challenge except for the Packers, and then, it will come down to whichever offense plays best.

I think the Patriots have the advantage with a more experienced QB and coach with more rings and big game experience.

You shouldn’t be surprised when New England captures their fourth Super Bowl in franchise history this season.
