The Patriots defense
The Patriots defense was one of the best units in the league last year. They still have Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore. New England just re-signed Devin McCourty. Their linebacking corps saw some veterans exit — Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins — but they have some young talented players there. The entire — and very talented — defensive backfield will be back. The defense is probably good enough to win six-game by themselves.
