New England Patriots 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
Will the New England Patriots repeat as AFC East champions? Check out our game-by-game predictions for their 2020 season to find out.
The AFC East is up for grabs and the New England Patriots won’t give it up without a fight. Now that their 2020 schedule has been released, et’s take a look at some game-by-game predictions for the Patriots to see if another division title is in the cards.
Weeks 1-4
The Patriots’ 2019 season was altered for good when the Miami Dolphins walked into Gillette Stadium and upset them in Week 17, costing New England a first-round bye. The Dolphins have gotten better since then but Bill Belichick will be playing the footage of that Week 17 game in the building all week. Expect a healthy dose of revenge from the Patriots here.
The 12th man does in New England here, which hasn’t won in Seattle since 2008. The Seahawks have actually won the last two regular season meetings between the clubs, including a 31-24 triumph at Foxboro in 2016. Russell Wilson makes enough plays here to lead Seattle back to the winner’s circle.
The Raiders were nearly a playoff team a year ago and they have enough depth on both sides of the football to win a close game. This contest comes down to the wire with Daniel Carlson nailing the winning field goal in the final seconds to steal a road win for Las Vegas.
The defending Super Bowl champions find a way to beat up the Pats again on their way to another AFC West title. New England simply doesn’t have the firepower to keep up with Patrick Mahomes, who throws for 350 yards and three touchdowns to blow past the Patriots’ defense.
