1.) Our most important remaining match ups are: IND, NYJ, CIN, and MIA. All of those are in Foxboro. We gotta go 3-1 here at minimum, IMO.
2.) Our toughest road match ups are: @MIN, @BUF, @ARI, and @LVR. The latter two are back to back...so we likely stay out west for that...I like our chances of taking both games...ain't no gimmie...but I like the idea of us staying out west for 2 weeks. And @MIN is on Thanksgiving...with both teams coming off a 4 day rest...the Vikings will have played Dallas on Sunday. Anything can happen. @BUF....OK.....no way do the winds help us again, LOL. But...it is the LAST GAME of the year. Maybe the Bills will be resting guys...who knows...and maybe we may have already locked a playoff berth by that time just like last year's game down in Miami that we didn't need. I believe we can do 2-2.
3.) Then there's the show down vs. the Bills on December 1st in Foxboro. This is a Thursday nighter, but both teams will have had 7 days to prepare after going to @MIN and @DET on Turkey day. This is the key game, IMO...if we win this game...we likely finish 10-7. If we lose this game...we need to go 4-0 in the other home games (#1 above) or 3-1 on the remaining road games (#2).
