Rest of our schedule pretty weak

@ Pitt really only tough one and very huge.

Minn @ home should not be a problem.

14-2 very possible

Still got 2 road divisional games. Not super worried about the Jete but Miami was bad last year and still beat us. @PIT could go either way. Really, I'd say all but the last 2 games are loseable. I only expect to drop 1 or 2 the rest of the regular season though.

Fun fact I mentioned when the schedule came out: locations and all, the last 4 weeks of this year's schedule are identical to the last 4 weeks of last year's schedule. @Mia, @PIT, BUF, NYJ

@TEN - I say we have a 60% chance of winning. The D needs to win this.
BYE
@NYJ - 75% chance. McNown is better than Darnold at this point, IMO.
MIN - 60% chance (adjusted for home field). Really good team...but home advantage.
@Mia - 45% chance. Miami...nuff' said.
@PITT- 40% chance. Always tough.
BUF - 85% chance. I think we see Allen in this one...but at least 1st match up vs. 2nd.
NYJ - 90% chance. Too much will likely be on the line then.

I think we have 3 more losses rest of the way....likely @Mia, @PIT, and maybe one of @TEN/MIN games.

13-3 finish is my prediction. I think they will lose to Pittsburgh on the road.

By these percentages, we have a 3.7 % chance of going 14-2.

Either I’ve been following the wrong team and coach or most of these predictions are laughable.

KC needs to lose

Let me guess. You give them 100% chance every week because "it's the Patriots" and anyone who thinks the probability is less (most of these predictions you quoted would still indicate a win for us!) is a "chicken little".

One game at a time.

Allow things to evolve as they always do.

I don't think the 2nd half of the season schedule is harder than the 1st half.

I would say going 4-3 vs 7-2 would be a major disappointment.

Record in last 7 games of the season
2017: 6-1
2016: 7-0
2015: 3-4 (2 OT losses)
2014: 5-2 (losses @12-4 GB, and mailed in last game vs Buf, Brian Tyms 2nd leading receiver)
2013: 5-2 (losses 2Mia, @Car: The Gronk no call game)
2012: 6-1 (lost to SF where then almost came back from 31-3)
2011: 7-0
2010: 7-0

Pretty much anything less than 6-1(actual average over last 8 seasons is 5.75-1.25) is under performing for the Pats unless you are predicting a 2015esque collapse.

In what world is Minnesota not going to be a problem? Yes, it's a winnable game, but that's a tough team with talent across the board playing in a conference with which we have little familiarity. The rest of the schedule outside of them and Pittsburgh is a joke mostly because we have four games remaining against the clown show that is our division.

Looking to far ahead.

We will beat Tennessee. Then onto a bye.

Must stay njury free

Go Pats

You think???

If we don’t win out we’re not getting the 1 seed because Kansas City isn’t losing two games.

We're On To Tenn.

And yet NE virtually never sweeps the clown show, so I wouldn't be so quick to assume NE will win all its remaining AFCE games. It should, but historically that's not how it goes.

Hopefully we've already had the annual "clunker" with DET or JAX.

Let be what will be in terms of Kansas City. They are a juggernaut right now but also have Andy Reid the playoff choke artist as their coach. If they get the number one seed, odds are they end up having to play San Diego at Arrowhead in a rivalry slugfest.

If we get the number one seed, on the other hand, we'll get San Diego in Foxboro in the divisional. Honestly, they are the team we don't know and could struggle against. We'll have played Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and Houston (and can beat Cincinnati if they somehow advanced). We don't know San Diego and that causes a little bit more anxiety.

Do I want the number one seed? Yes. But if we can secure the number two, I suspect there'll be advantages to that too.
