Repeating as a superbowl champ is one of the most difficult of any sport. However my quick take on this, and I will go into much deeper detail when I start analyzing all the teams, is that they have an outstanding chance of making it two in a row.

They have practically their entire team of 2009 returning and all the coaching staff. This is a team that offensively were 1st in points 31.9, 1st in yards with 403.8. They return the entire offensive line and have great depth in the receiving corp. If they had any concerns from last year, it was a defense that ranked 20th to 25th in all categories. They were however a very oportunistic unit as they were 2nd in takeaways. I look for a great improvement from the defense overall.

Of course their schedule will be a little tougher this year with question marks on 5 games. They play the AFC north in their non coference games which is a pretty tough division with the likes of Baltimore, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. They also have to face the Cowboy’s and Vikings in non-divisional games. They will be playing 8 teams this year that finished with a winning record, and 5 teams that were in the playoffs.

It won’t be cake-walk for sure but until I dig deeper into my analysis of the entire league, I would have to say that they certainly are in line for a repeat…The very worst I can see them ending is 11-5 and I really can’t see anyone vying for the division title against them.
