1. The New England Patriots are the best team in the NFL
The Patriots just beat the Broncos, 43-21, and the Broncos had just been widely considered the best team in the league. However, the Patriots defense held its own against Peyton Manning as they forced him to throw two interceptions. Although Manning threw for 438 yards, many of his yards came in garbage time.
The Patriots have tight end Rob Gronkowski healthy, and wide receiver Brandon LaFell has emerged as a reliable weapon for Brady, so he has a better group of receivers to throw to. Gronkowski being around helps Brady the most though, and his presence makes the Patriots offense arguably the most dangerous in the NFL. Cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner also make up a solid Patriots defense.
