2016 New England Patriots Season Predictions

[Nikolai]

I haven't seen a thread on this yet, and usually there are one of these every year. So if there is an existing thread, I suppose this could be merged in.

What are your W-L predictions for this season? Playoff predictions? And any other predictions? Hell, it can be whatever.

The first four games are really hard to predict. My gut tells me we'll beat Arizona, but my head says a loss is reasonable to believe. We also always have a malfunction loss at home, so I feel against Houston with Jimmy G at center is possible.

My predictions...kinda homerific this year, but whatever.

12-4
AFC East Champions
1st Round bye

My head says loss, but my gut says win, so I went with that. But we were pretty close on our playoff predictions.

Will ultimately lose the AFC championship game to either the colts or steelers. I hate to say it but I don't think the pats are going back to the SB for as long as Goodell is still the commissioner of the league or TB12 is starting QB.

11-5.

[Dorito Dink]

I'll play. I'll caveat my predictions by saying that I'm a total homer aka I think BB knows what he's doing and deserves our full trust. I think this defense is absolutely loaded and will be able to keep us in games even when the offense slacks. I think it will take a few weeks for Brady to come back and be Brady but the defense will be able to do its part. If this offense stays healthy all year, they will be an absolute force going into the second half of the season.

Same. I really want to go with my heart and say we'll beat Arizona but my head understands that we typically get off to slow starts and we're playing in a hostile environment on SNF with a QB whose biggest start has been against Jacksonville State. We'll see

When the fuhrer hands over the lombardi to Benedict Bob, Tom Brady pulls his pants down and exposes his 10 inch golden penis and pees on the fuhrer and Benedict Bob. The whole crowd, team and even BB cheers Brady on as they boo the fuhrer and Benedict Bob out of the stadium all while chanting LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR, LIAR

 

[PatsFan2]

Gotta see Jimmy G play with the One's First before I make a prediction.

 

[50-yard-line]

12-4, top seed in the AFC. AFCCG: New England over Cincinnati. Superbowl: NE over Arizona.

Top yardage receiver for the Pats this year: Chris Hogan.

Defense ranks 3rd, Offense ranks 3rd.
