This is from some betting site, but, HISTORICALLY the team that leads the league in turnover differential almost always has a much lower +/- and considerably fewer wins the following season (results through the 2009 season)...

2006 Turnover Leader: Baltimore (13-3, +17 TO)

2002 Results: Jets (9-7, +4 TO) for -1 win
In the Patriots case, it's hard to argue that their ridiculous TO differential of +28 didn't "inflate" their record. If they're in the middle of the pack in that department they're probably a 10 win team...
