The New England Patriots are going for their sixth Super Bowl win.  Here are five reasons the Patriots will be hoisting another Lombardi Trophy this season.

Most teams would be happy just getting to the Super Bowl, but not the New England Patriots.  Their goal is to win it every year.  Instead of satisfaction with their accomplishments the Patriots aren’t resting on their laurels.  The Patriots hit the reset button every off-season and leave the past where it is.

However, as good as the New England Patriots were last season they were still a team with flaws.  After an off-season of trades, free agency and the NFL Draft, the Patriots have acquired more talent.  Perhaps more talent than they’ve ever had on a team.

Head Coach Bill Belichick has developed a culture of winning that is infectious among his players.  He finds talent in all manner of ways.  When he loses a star player, his system allows him to plug-in new players.  Most of the time with little to no drop off in performance .

But entering  the 2017 season, the Patriots appear ready to accomplish a repeat.  A win would give them their sixth Super Bowl in team history.  Here’s Five reasons why they’ll do just that.
