The New England Patriots figure to be one of the betting favorites among NFL teams to improve their win total from last season.

There were a number of factors that contributed to the Patriots’ shortcomings last campaign, but most of them were rectified this offseason, as they dominated the draft and enjoyed their biggest free agent spending spree in franchise history.
