The youthful and talented roster will have 9 home games and 8 away games and will have 3 primetime games. After a heavily-publicized offseason the Patriots will not only be under a spotlight but will be expected to perform well and make a run for the playoffs if not for the AFC East title.
As for the primetime games, 2 home games versus the Giants and Jets seem very winnable and a divisional game at Buffalo will be their biggest test of the season. That test will come early in Week 5 with the final two primetime games coming later in the year in weeks 11 and 13.
A Week 1 home opener versus the Raiders will be showcased as not only the start to the season but Tom Brady's return back to Foxborough as a minority owner of the Raiders. This will also be Pete Carroll's first game coaching in 2 years and his first game as the Head Coach for the Raiders.
The Patriots Win Total Over/Under for the season is set at 8.5 wins. The good news for the team is their Strength of Schedule is the 3rd easiest by 2024 Team Win Percentage, (.419). Facing teams like the Panthers, Browns, Saints and Giants help this percentage.
Their toughest games of the year will be the aforementioned Week 5 @ Buffalo, Week 12 @ Cincinnati, Week 15 at Home vs Buffalo, (right after the Week 14 BYE) and Week 16 @ Baltimore.
Will the Patriots figure it out in their first year under Head Coach and former player Mike Vrabel? Will Drake Maye take a step toward elite QB in his sophomore campaign? Will the defense turn back the clocks and remind us of Bill Belichick's tutelage in the early 2000's? Only time will tell when the 2025 regular season starts in early September.
