NFL Preview: Can the New England Patriots get to the Super Bowl?
The England Patriots have come back strong after a bad first four weeks of the season. Some NFL analysts would not bet on the Patriots at the beginning of the season, but now some are favoring them for the Super Bowl. NFL betting has been an interesting and exciting endeavor this season, and this year’s post season is no different.
But can the Patriots make it to the Super Bowl? With only the Ravens left to go through in the AFC Conference Championship their odds are looking pretty good. Many sports books have them favored to win their next game. After their dominating win over the Houston Texans, there is little doubt that they will take the Ravens down. Tom Brady and Belichick are a perfect duo and are contenders on their own. The two want their fourth Super Bowl and are looking to redeem themselves after two Super Bowl losses.
Wes Welker is proving why he is one of the best wide receivers, while Aaron Hernandez is stepping up after the injuries sustained by Rob Gronkowski. There are so many receivers for Brady to choose from, it is almost impossible not to complete a pass. On the ground Stevan Ridley is reviving the run game and giving more offensive options.
On defense, Aqib Talib has developed into a shutdown corner, while Chandler Jones, Brandon Spikes and Rob Ninkovich are leading the defense and shutting down even the top quarterbacks in the NFL. They are unstoppable at this point, and they are looking to redeem themselves in the Super Bowl against the San Francisco 49ers.
Many sports betting agents and the best online betting sites have the Patriots heading to the Super Bowl in their odds. Unless they have a total break down against the Ravens, they will make it to the big game in Louisiana on February 3rd.
