Great Schedule for the Pats.
They get the four playoff teams at home. All with a full week rest and preparation. Titans, Ravens, Falcons, and Panthers. Miami doesn't get an early high heat home game against the Pats. In the old days, Shula used to glory in having the Pats tonques hang out in the sweaty Miami fall.
The bye comes after the London trip so the guys have time to recover, they get an additonal week to prep for Indy.
This is a tough schedule but the second half is easier than the first, so the Pats will be building momentum for the playoffs. As well spaced as this is, I could see the Pats running the table, if they are half as good as I think they wil be...
