New England Patriots 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game
Weeks 13-16
51. Final. 27. 47. 17
The city of Los Angeles is a very friendly one for the Patriots, who win both of their matchups at SoFi Stadium this season. The Rams are a shell of a team that faced the Patriots in Super Bowl LII when New England’s defense led the way in a stifling 13-3 win. There should be some more scoring in this one but the Patriots pick up a big win out west.
28. 47. 14. 59. Final
South Florida has been the trickiest stop during New England’s run of AFC East supremacy, a fact that Bill Belichick will hammer home to this group. Ryan Fitzpatrick draws the start in this game and throws a pair of critical interceptions, including one that Stephon Gilmore returns for a touchdown to give the Patriots a comfortable lead they never relinquish.
17. 16. 21. 47. Final
The closest AFC East rivalry right now will be between the Patriots and Buffalo Bills, who should be battling New England for the division title. The Bills had a golden opportunity to score a win in Foxborough last season and blew it. Expect that loss to continue to hang over a young Bills’ team as the Patriots’ mystique takes hold here.
10. 30. 17. 47. Final
The Jets haven’t won in Foxborough since the 2010 postseason, but if you factor that out the last time New York won at New England was with Brett Favre under center in 2008. The Pats have won 16 of their last 19 home meetings with the Jets dating back to 2003 so it is safe to assume that run of brilliance will continue.
