Finally. Football is (really) back.

There's nothing better than Sunday of week one of the NFL season. You know, that special time of the year when all NFL fans can watch football, drink beer, grill burgers, and actually think their team has a legit shot at the Super Bowl.

For Patriots fans, there's are a lot of reasons to be excited headed into this season. The team has a revamped defense that features a lot of young contributors, and two key rookie starters, Dont'a Hightower and Chandler Jones. The offense also looks to improve over a pretty spectacular 2011 season, with Brandon Lloyd hopefully providing a true downfield threat.

We've spent months breaking down what this team could be, and it's time we actually see what they're made of. It's a long road ahead, and it starts this Sunday afternoon against the Titans. Lets go. Greg's Prediction: Patriots 31, Titans 17
