I'm picking 10 again, which I would consider an improvement over last year given their schedule.

When I look at this team. I just honestly don't see it. Their roster just isn't good. What do they have on defense? They pretty good DL, but nothing amazing. LB? Below average IMO. DBs? They don't have a #1 CB anymore and no one on that group is a top player to take pressure off the others. McCourty was starting to lose last year, he's still fast but not the player he was. And now he has to cover for this at best average cast? Not going to happen.

On offense they have a bunch of okay skill players and are desperately hoping someone steps up in that group. It won't happen. Their best player is an RB who can't take the pounding needed to be a work horse and can't catch that well. Mac being the second coming to carry this group they way Brady use to carry subpar groups won't be happening. I think he's pretty good, but i'm not seeing him being elite yet, if ever. And Pretty good won't be enough. The OL should be good. Strange will have growing pains but he'll get it together I'm confident. I overall like the flashes I've seen from him. But a good OL without the skill players to back it up mean a lot of stalled drives when you need to play a gain of cobbling together a bunch of first downs to scores and also a lot of settling for 3 when the field gets compressed.

I sadly picking 7 wins. Hopefully this is a year where we can build something going forward though.

To the 3 people who voted 12 or more, can I have some please?

8-9. I'm expecting them to just be another team in the NFL this year, but I'll still watch every game and hope for the best.

[Boomer B]

I’m between 7-9 wins. A mediocre team. Hope I’m wrong.

I'm picking 10 again, which I would consider an improvement over last year given their schedule.

I don’t think this is a difficult schedule at all.

The NFCN and AFCN are not strong divisions. 5 of the 8 teams are not very good and the other 3 are very beatable.

2nd place crossovers of Indy, lv, az is not scary.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

I think 10 wins. Not sure if thats gets us in the playoffs this year though

 

[captain stone]

Se7en.

 

[Sam Bam Cunningham]

I think 7-8 wins. If you objectively look at the pats roster compared with other AFC rosters, they are probably in bottom third talent wise

 

[UGAPatsfan]

6-11, Mac regresses badly and BB gets fired. Just don’t have a lot of hope in the roster or the moves BB has made for 3 years.

Time to reboot.

More specifically, I think pats start 0-4.

Be delighted to be wrong.

I see the wheels coming off this thing. Belichick's arrogance finally catches up to him. 4 wins. Maybe this convinces him to retire.

Arrogance or really bad drafting in 2018 and 2019?

Be very careful what you wish for.

 

[Guts]

9 wins maybe 10

 

[Nikolai]

I've got 10-7 apparently. Good enough for a Wild Card again, but at risk with a 7-5 AFC record.

Wild Card Round: Date TBD Patriots at Raiders - L

Given the schedule difficulty, this is a sneaky good season and a building block for the future.

 

[Scotty]

I have thought 10 - 7 since before camp so will stay with that. Just hope the O/Line gets it together or it could be the other way around...7 - 10
