Week 3 - vs Jax - cupcake city (thanks for the correction TBF)
Week 4 - bye
Week 5 - at Dal - W/O Romo and Dez, this should be a relatively easy game
Week 6 - at Ind - they always crush Luck and Indy
Week 7 - vs NYJ - Jets will be tough, but this is at Foxboro
Week 8 - vs Mia - Mia will be tough, but this is at Foxboro
Week 9 - vs Was - shouldn't be too difficult
Week 10 - at NYG - always tough playing Eli and the Giants, and it's on the road
Week 11 - vs Buf - wipe the floor with the Bills
Week 12 - at Den - another tough game, because it's in Denver
Week 13 - vs Phi - interesting, but it's in Foxboro
Week 14 - at Hou - cupcake city
Week 15 - vs Ten - cupcake city
Week 16 - at NYJ - should be a very tough game, but we'll see about their QB situation
Week 17 - at Mia - should be very tough - always tough in Miami
So by my count, there are four difficult games on the schedule: at NYG, at Den, at NYJ, at Mia. I don't think they'll lose all four. I don't think they'll lose more than two of them. But they may lose another game that we don't envision them losing.
Long story short, I see 14-2 or 13-3, and the #1 seed in the AFC. And thus, the road to SB 50 will run through Gillette. As it should be. Things could change with injuries, but right now, the way things look after two weeks, the Pats look to be in very good shape for the #1 seed.
