The Patriots 2020 schedule and my predictions

The NFL released the only schedule real Patriots fans care about. The New England Patriots 2020 NFL Schedule. While this may be unpopular with some, here is my predictions for the upcoming season.

I'm gonna start with the easiest predictions. If Jarrett Stidham can be a game manager, the Patriots will win their last six games. Beating the Cardinals, Chargers, Rams, Dolphins, Bill's, and Jets. That's six wins, and I have faith that Stidham can do it.

I have the Patriots going 2-2 over the first four weeks. Winning both home games against the Dolphins and Raiders, while losing at Seattle and Kansas City. I know playing Miami is normally tough but I dont expect the dolphins to have their quarterback situation figured out. Stidham's inexperience will be taken advantage of in the losses.

The Patriots will beat Denver at home but lose to the 49ers. They will lose to the Bills on Buffalo and then Beat the jets to go 4-4. While the Jets and Broncos tried to improve, they still don't have the tools to beat New England's defense. Again, Stidham's inexperience will be the down fall.

The Ravens are the hard one, as did Belichick figure out how to stop them? I have the Patriots losing to the Ravens and Texans. Bringing their record to 4-6. The Ravens game is the one game that if Belichick has learned from 2019, could be a win. The home field advantage even with a limited crowd will be enough to push the Texans over the edge. This will be a shootout and the defining game for Stidham. The loss will be the motivation for the team, as the Tanking for Trevor rumors pick up and the players aren't gonna have it.

Adding in the last 6 wins, the Patriots finish 10-6.  Again this is providing that November 29th, that Stidham has developed into a game manager. All the team will need to do to win the last 6 is score a minimum of 15-17 points. The Defense will carry the team into the post season.

At worst case the Patriots go 7-9 winning both games against the Jets. Best case, they go 11-5 and win the division.

This is the toughest schedule for the Patriots, and would be huge if Belichick could take this Patriots team to the AFC Championship game or even superbowl. Everyone has said the Patriots have had it easy. 

No Brady, Toughest schedule, this would cement Belichick and the PatriZots as the legit owners of the NFL and Stidham as the franchise quarterback. My predictions may be unpopular but unless you're a fortune teller, your opinion is worth as much as mine.
