Bills beat NE next go around assuming NE has to pass in that game.
Chiefs win out its theirs, that's not so simple though. If they get past the Chargers then I have pretty great faith we beat Cinc, Pitt at home, Denver

The problem is his pass-catchers. Hilton's a corpse at this point and Pittman's banged up. They just don't have many weapons for him. Doyle and Pascal just don't bring much to the table. Parris Campbell is hurt and I'm not convinced he's worth a shit anyway.
Wentz CAN beat them. He CAN also lose to the Jags.
He's just not that good on a game-to-game basis. [Reply]

The Dolphins literally beat them week 1 of this season.. with Tua. [Reply]

Tua was outplayed by Mac Jones in week 1 despite Patriots losing 17-16. What cost the Patriots that game was 4 fumbles of which they lost 2.
Both teams have improved since then but Tua was contained in that game and Patriots defense has gotten better. Not saying Dolphins can't win but even though Tua has played well this year, I don't expect him to do that great against this Patriots defense if the game is meaningful to New England. [Reply]

Even the Chiefs winning out only makes it a coin flip at this point. We'll need the Pats, Titans, and Ravens to all drop one (and the Pats only have four to play). [Reply]

I'm late to the party, but I think you're ignoring that getting the bye (which the Pats are likely to do) roughly doubles your chances of winning the Super Bowl. That's why all the models have them so far ahead. [Reply]

Covid makes these prediction models less reliable than they typically are. It could get very chaotic once these games with huge playoff implications are impacted by positive cases. [Reply]

It’s gonna be injuries, and rightfully so. They’re decimated, and have had enormous amounts of luck to get to their current record. If their team had only half the injuries they currently do, they may still be clinging to the one seed. [Reply]
