Ditto, whether people like it or not, or whether they want to admit it or not, there is no reason to think otherwise until proven otherwise. They have the bulk of the same team returning plus a few decent additions. There’s really no obvious weaknesses and the players will have that much more experience playing together and under the same system. We can hope for the best but until the season is underway, they are the paper champs to repeat IMO.
I’m not saying it WILL work out that way but as of right now I have no reason to think otherwise.
