I'm feeling greedy. that's 11-5 and factoring in a late-season Miami loss because we always have a random clunker against them.
Worst case I see us dropping one of the two LA games and SF, so 9-7. But if they don't have the division on lock like they do every year, maybe Bill doesn't let them sleepwalk through Miami in December again. So back to 10-6.

Sept. 20 at Seattle, 8:20 p.m.
Loss, fans or no fans. That Seattle defense and Russell Wilso are just too good imo.
Sept. 27 vs. Las Vegas, 1 p.m.
Win. Derek Carr ain't shit and Gruden's Raiders are still meh.
Oct. 4 at Kansas City, 4:25 p.m.
Loss, Could break either way if fans aren't allowed into Arrowhead. Ultimately I do see Mahomes and co battering the team offensively.

Win. Bill will scheme up a plan building off the Chiefs' successes at the Super Bowl to pick Jimmy G apart.
Nov. 1 at Buffalo, 1 p.m.
Win. Will be a hard fought road game that New England could lose, but I have confidence in Belichick out coaching McDermott.
Nov. 9 at New York Jets, 8:15 p.m.
Win
Nov. 15 vs. Baltimore, 8:20 p.m.
Loss. Lamar Jackson will come back down to earth a bit but the Ravens are always a tough out for New England, even when we had Brady.
Nov. 22 at Houston, 1 p.m.
Loss. Even with no DeAndre Hopkins, the Texans are a hard team to play. And an inexperienced QB could hurt the Pats if the chips are down going into the final minutes of a close game.
Nov. 28 vs. Arizona, 1 p.m.
Win. Arizona improved as a team, but I still need to see it on the field before I see them as a threat. Plus, Kingsbury is a joke of a coach.
Dec. 6 at Los Angeles Chargers, 4:25 p.m.
Win
Dec. 10 at Los Angeles Rams, 8:20 p.m.
Win, could be a loss on a back to back but they should beat the Rams. Goff is a joke and McVay is losing his shine.
Dec. 20 at Miami, 1 p.m.
Loss, I'd like to think they can sweep Miami but we have a juju curse with them so...

I see a respectable 11-5 record that, if they get some lucky bounces like sweeping Miami, could be 12-4 in a best case scenario. Call me crazy but I don't think the Patriots are as out of their depth as people want to believe they are. It will be a struggle this year but 11-5 isn't unrealistic. 10-6 will probably what it is. Worst case, I say 9-7.
