Pats are about to have one of the biggest falls from grace in recent memory. Next year they play the NFC North and AFC West. So besides their division, they play CHI, GB, DET, MIN, DEN, LAC, KC, JAX, and PIT. Considering the 2 games against BUF, that is 11 tough games. Who knows what MIA will look like with real coaching, so their only easy games are against NYJ, and LVR, and LVR will also look a lot different?
I will go out on a limb and say they will finish at 8-9 and miss the playoffs, and that may even be generous considering their schedule.
