The Annual Guess the Record Thread

[abdul7]

I went 12 - 4 ,,,,,going to win a lot of ugly games,,,,play smash football with maybe a record season for yards in the running game.
Can't see Tom throwing as much this Season ,,but that's just a guess.
Our D for once in a long while are going to win us more games .
Go Pats

The NE offense won't have personnel to go 4 or 5 wide so defenses will be able to load the box with little fear.

How so ? White, Hogan, Dorsett, Gronk, Hollister. Burkhead is also an option. Hell, even Allen can line up wide. Then after 4 weeks Edelman is back giving even more options.

The flexibility of White and Gronk is key. They can come out with a set that looks like run with Gronk, Allen, White and still go empty.

Week 13 Minnesota Vikings (Home)
Week 14 at Miami Dolphins
Week 15 at Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 16 Buffalo Bills (Home)
Week 17 New York Jets (Home)

Let's say they lose two home games with that schedule and one on the road
I'll say 13-3

Jags, Packers, Steelers and Chiefs will be are hardest games I feel

I have a bad feeling about this season. I think they lose two of HOU, PIT, MIN, KC. I also think they lose GB and JAX. They’ve only swept the division something like 3 times in team history, so there’s at least one loss there. And I think this year they’ll lose a 2nd division game.

So 10-6, but will be AFCE champs again.

Ill say Jags and Packers maybe 2 losses.
As well as opening day Houston.
Houston is a team on the rise and have a killer defense.

 

[Thelonious]

I'll say 10/6. An unbalanced roster, very thin in some areas. Too much hope-this-hope-that as I think about the season: too much has to go just so. Any of several injury scenarios (which I dare not name) to a greater extent than usual would finish the team off. Maybe I just need a testosterone supplement.

 

[reflexblue]

I usually say 12-4, but this year for what ever reason i'm going to say 13-3

 

[LaterGator]

My glass is half full as always. I think they will beat one of Houston or Jacksonville. Jags have a great D and the equalizer Bortles. Houston has Watson who scares me. I'm still not saying which game, but they lose one. Most teams are going to struggle vs these teams. Sports radio goes nuts "Stick a fork in them Mike, they're done!" "The receivers cant get open, they have no run game and Brady looks old"...until they pound the crap out of Detriot, Miami and the Colts. Then it's "They can only beat the sisters of the poor Mike, Wait until Kansas City!" Pats 45- KC 14. "I'm really worried about the Celtic's Mike, Kyrie is resting every other night and Hayward can barely move!"

They open 3-1, lose to Packers@ GB and of course in Miami. 13-3

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

If offense has enough weapons in first four games, 12-4 or 13-3, if not 11-5 or 12-4.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

I want them to get off to a good start. Beat Houston and Jax but they likely will be 1-1 after two weeks.

 

[farn]

Going 13-3. It’s probably a “12-4 team” but I have zero faith in other teams and other coaches.

This team is solid and will win a game or two they “shouldn’t” because they will prey on the stupidity of their opponent.

And Patterson, who could be most useful in 5 wide.

 

[A Defiant Goose]

12-4. Split the first 4 weeks. Go on a tear. Drop a WTF loss and an end of the year rest for the playoffs loss

 

[Ring 6]

Houston’s defense was terrible last year. It has never been good against us.

It other words very optimistic, for you.

JJ watt looks better than he has in years according to Obrein.
They added the honey badger and Aaron Colvin to the secondary.
I dont expect a win for the Pats.
Id be happy but dont expect it.
Watson Hopkins Miller can give us issues on our D.
Im not saying the sky is falling if we lose I think it will take a few weeks and maybe Edelman to get into our full groove.

We win. Book it.

 

[jah]

12-4, loss in AFCCG to #1 seed after even more injuries.

 

[Boomer B]

After looking at the schedule, our roster, our coaching staff, our history, weather patterns, gambling odds, etc......I went with Ray Lewis is a piece of sh*t. It was the only option that is 100% guaranteed true.

P.S. I have the Pats at 12-4. 3 losses to tough teams and that 1 “what the f?” head scratcher.

OTH, BB has time for strategy.
The Pats have game tape on Watson.
Brady's first game since last year.
Patriots Home game.
I like the Patriots offensive line (versus any defense).
The Patriots are actually hungry.
