Matt Miller over at SBNation's Mocking the Draft says the New England Patriots are a 13-3 regular season team . That I'm not surprised at. I figured NE would be a 13-3 or 14-2 team. There's too much going on defense-wise for me to have a good feeling about another historic run. So as not to sound like a ridiculous homer, 13-3 is a season most teams beg for. In fact, 26 teams wouldn't mind a 13-3 record .
I am honestly having a hard time disputing Matt Miller's predictions:

Total 13W-3L
Chargers? Good team and it's the second game in a back-to-back west coast swing. Indy is Indy; that game is always a tossup in my mind and they're healthy this year. The Seahawks are the only question for me. At 10-6 for 2007, they don't sit in the top 5 for ANY NFL stat. Could they have done well in the draft? Did they make all the right moves? Something to consider. I just don't see it.
