If the public perception is that the Pats are far better than the 2nd best team in the league, wouldn't that be a bold prediction after all? To lose 3 or more games?
Flash forward to December. The Pats wrap up a 13-3 season. Is ANYONE shocked? In disbelief? Is their even an article on how the season was a "failure" because they lost more than 2 games?
Just because you talked to some buddies in a bar who told you they think the pats will steam roll everyone, doesn't mean that 13-3 would be a surprising result. Going 14-2 or better is EXTEMELY rare. It's the anomaly.

I wouldn't say failure just cuz they're expected to be awesome. I'm going too far the other way. IMO the Pats are still mortal and have just as much a chance at losing in the playoffs this year as they have the last 5 years. With that being said, they can make the SB much like they have twice twice already.

Just look at the posts on here regarding the Pats. Remember back to the Cooks trade. Ealy too (I believe Ealy will be a beast though.)
Let me ask you, Mr Patriots Fan, what do you think the odds are of the pats losing 2 or less vs 3 or more?

NE will go either 13-3 or 12-4, and have a top seed. That's all they care about.
Having them go 15-1 or 16-0 isn't BOLD, but it just isn't likely. Teams lose in the NFL. But, the Patriots usually win when it matters, and they consistently lock up a top seed for the playoffs.
