If the Patriots beat the Jets by fourteen points or more, they will win the rest of their matches, the one against New Orleans included, and finish 13–3 with the second seed.
Mark my words.

Same statement could be said about every other team in every sport out there.The Patriots won't win any of their remaining games if they play badly.
You're internet must be different from mine, because I'm reading a whole lot more "the season is over" than "it's only one game" comments today.Most posters are assuming that the Patriots have a fairly easy road to the playoffs. I don't agree with them.
More stating of the obvious, with a slant on the negative. "Any given Sunday". The Patriots could be 9-0, and any team on their schedule is still capable of beating them. Likewise, the Patriots are capable of beating any one of those teams too. The Pats will be favored, and rightfully so, in three of those four games.They have 4 remaining road games: Saints, Dolphins, Bills, and Houston. With the exception of the Bills, all these teams are capable of beating the Patriots.
More stating of the obvious, thank you for pointing that out. To me those games look no different than before the season started, no different than it was in September, no different than it was a week ago.Their remaining home games are: Jets, Carolina, Jaguars. Easier schedule than the road games but not pushovers.
Wow, that line's a classic.The Patriots need to beat the Jet on Sunday to have a chance of sweeping their home schedule.
Not exactly a surprise considering you predicted the Pats would lose to the Bucs.I expect them to lose two of the road games.
Given that you've predicted the Pats to lose nearly every week this season, I now have renewed confidence that they will end up better than 11-5.8-0 at home and 3-5 on the road gives them 11-5 and a probable playoff spot.
Is Clayton your idol or something?One home loss and they finish 10-6 like John Clayton predicted and probably no playoff spot unless both the Jets and Dolphins fall apart.
So do I. I bought two tickets for Sunday's game to see the Patriots
get revenge. I hope the Patriots don't have a 6 point lead with two
minutes to go and 4th down and 2 on their 30 yard line.
8-0 at home and 3-5 on the road gives them 11-5 and a probable
playoff spot. One home loss and they finish 10-6 like John Clayton
predicted and probably no playoff spot unless both the Jets and
Dolphins fall apart.
Using this site as a guide, it looks like if we run the table, we will most likely have the second seed. 6-1 nets us a lower chance at that spot with a 5-2 rules us basically out of that #2 seed

Completely untrue. 10-6 still likely gets us the division.
For Dolphins to win:
Remaining schedule: @CAR, @BUF, NE, @JAC, @TEN, HOU, PIT
(a) 7-0 against not a single "gimme"; OR
(b) 6-1, including necessary victory against the Pats, PLUS other possible tie-breaking conditions.
For Jets to win:
Remaining schedule: @NE, CAR, @BUF, @TB, ATL, @IND, CIN
(a) 7-0 (good luck!);
(b) 6-1, including victory against the Pats;
(c) 6-1, with sole loss coming against Pats but getting other tie-breaker
For Bills to win:
Remaining schedule: @JAC, MIA, NYJ, @KC, NE, @ATL, IND
(a) 7-0 and a lot of help
The short of it is that, to overtake a 10-6 Pats team, one of these teams would need a dramatic departure from their sub-.500 ways and really bring it against some stout competition.
Yeah, I was just talking to someone about that. #3 is very attractive, we'd get a first round home game then @ Cincy. And if the Colts were to lose to a team like Pittsburgh or SD, very possible, we'd then host the AFCCG. #3 is really quite critical the more I think about it.
This was actually the thing I took away from yesterday's debacle as potentially the one silver lining. San Diego doesn't scare me, but I have to admit that I don't want to play Pittsburgh and Indianapolis in the playoffs. Let the 2 of them play each other and hopefully we can play the beat-up winner of that game.I ll be happy winning division and no facing Chargers or Steelers in WC
I am as about confident as you can be when it comes to a contest, but after the capitulations, all second half to the Jets, Broncos and now the Colts, all beating ourselves.. I can't see us running the table. I think wins against the Jets, Panthers, Bills and Jaguars are probable with the Dolphins and Texans coin tosses and a loss to the Saints.
Therefore I see us going somewhere in the vicinity of 4-3 or 6-1 leaving the Pats between 10-6 and 12-4.
I'm being realistic. 3 capitulations in which the Patriots have beaten themselves after being in strong positions to not only beat, but annihilate the opposition and we haven't has lead to my re-evaluation of this current team.No, 7–0, babeh.
Really, though, 4–3 is not giving this team nearly enough credit.
