From what I see from the Pats is they’re an above average team that doesn’t beat themselves and are well coached. I just don’t see them beating the upper echelon of teams in the NFL. I think teams with elite QB’s and an above average defense to match will give the Patriots all kinds of trouble. Not many challenges in their schedule besides the Titans and the two games against Buffalo. I think they finish the season 10-7 or 11-6 and get bounced in round 1 by either the Ravens, Chiefs, Bills or Titans.
