I don't think it's realistic to stay that the Pats are 2/3 (or 13/19) of the way to 19-0. But I do think they've clearly passed the halfway mark.
Season to date
13 games
4 opponents who looked elite on paper
Season yet to come
6 games (hopefully)
3 opponents who look elite on paper, and who will have backed up the paper with recent playoff victories.
Indeed, the 3 postseason opponents could well be from among the pool of 4 elite-on-paper teams the Pats have already played.
It's still probably less than a 50-50 chance that the Pats beat out all 11 other teams and win the Super Bowl, in addition to (the "easy" part) sweeping the last three games of this season. But it's also gotten to be very much within the realm of plausibility.
