Then it's not a bold prediction. 13-3 likely wins the #1 overall seed. Most years 12-4 can win the #1 overall seed.

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.)

There's hyperbole every offseason. Doesn't mean that it would be a shock for them to lose 3 games

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?

---

All depends on how the other AFC teams are next season. The pats will go all out for home field and then prepare for the playoffs. If another team is threatening that #1 overall spot then they'll keep going after it in week 16 and 17, which could flip the team total by a game or two

Overall tho I would say it's much more likely that they go 12-4 or 13-3 than it is to say they will go 14-2 or 15-1 or 16-0. The only "bold" prediction in there would be them going 16-0. All the others wouldn't really move the shock needle


The Pats O/U total in Vegas is 12.5 btw. If 3 or more was a TOTAL SHOCK, then that number would b 13.5 or 14.
