Patriots' final 5-game projection confirms what's been feeling inevitable
"The preseason predictions for the 2025 New England Patriots were all over the map, with some bullish on the team's chances of achieving 10-plus wins, and others seeing 8-9 or 9-8 as the sweet spot. No one had the Patriots reaching the double-digit mark before Thanksgiving, though. The NFL's biggest surprise team will enter Week 13 riding a nine-game winning streak. The Patriots haven't lost since the Steelers game on Sept. 21, when they committed five turnovers and fell short by seven points."
"Oh, and they're also 6-0 on the road this season, which ranks first in the NFL. Similar to the 2001 season, the Patriots have deep-playoff-run vibes entering this year's stretch run. Injuries to key starters, like left tackle Will Campbell and defensive lineman Milton Williams, will be tough to overcome, but New England looks like a major threat not only to win the AFC East but to secure the conference's No. 1 playoff seed"
Preseason projections varied widely for the 2025 New England Patriots, with most predicting fewer than 10 wins. The Patriots began 10-2 and have won nine consecutive games since a Sept. 21 loss to Pittsburgh. The team is 6-0 on the road, the NFL's best road record. Injuries to starters like left tackle Will Campbell and defensive lineman Milton Williams present challenges. The Patriots carry deep-playoff-run momentum and are viewed as a major threat to win the AFC East and potentially secure the conference's No. 1 playoff seed. Key upcoming games include matchups with the Giants and the Bills.
