Well the betting currently has them better than a 20% shot to win the super bowl. (odds of 1:4.6)
There are a bunch of other teams with around a 8% to 6% shot (in decreasing order: Cowboys, Packers, Seahawks, Falcons, Raiders, Texans).

So yes, while they are the overwhelming favorites, the betting has them at only about a 50:50 shot to even make the final game.
Biggest risk I see to a repeat is health of the O-line. Other injuries you can likely work around. They are only thin at a couple of positions (O-line, D-Line, maybe linebackers). Everywhere else they are as resilient a team as there is in the NFL.
Expectations? At this point, anything less than a championship would be a tremendous disappointment.It's never too early to talk and get excited about what our team is going to look like in the coming season. With the additions Pats have already made via free agency, this team looks poised to numerous records. I, for one, prefer another ring more than anything else. That said, one record I would like to see get broken is Peyton's TD record in a season.
With the kind of running backs we have and with Brady aging, we probably won't throw as much but looking at Hogan,Mitchell, Dola, Edelman and Cooks it's not impossible.
Thoughts ?
Doesn't sting anymore after this past Super Bowl tbh. In many ways winning Super Bowl 51 brought more satisfaction than 19-0 could have.19-0 if Gronk and others stay healthy is possible. Need to keep Butler and upgrade the edge guys a bit in the draft though. The Pats going 19-0 would take away the sting from 07 forever.
Just as long as, at no point during the game, they have a 25 point lead.I. Expect a 14_2 season and nother super bowl win...by 30 or so.
That multiplies through to a 25.5% chance of winning the SB (or a 3.92--1.00 chance). At least one early odds-maker virtually agrees with you and has the Pats at 4--1. You must be smart or lucky or something like that...Assuming they aren't devastated by injuries.
