The Patriots' remaining schedule compared to their AFC rivals |Pats Tribune

Only four weeks remain in the 2025 NFL season.

If there were a Coach Speak Hall of Fame, the phrase “one game at a time” would be a first-ballot selection.Luckily for us, neither sportswriters nor fans have to subscribe to that slogan;we have the freedom to look as far ahead as we want.

The Patriots' remaining schedule compared to their AFC rivals

The 2025 NFL season is four weeks away.

In this particular case, we look forward to the rest of the regular season and the race for a playoff spot in the AFC.Entering Week 15, 11 teams are left standing with at least some realistic chance of making the tournament when all is said and done, including the 11-2 New England Patriots.

Although the Patriots are not yet officially qualified for the postseason, they could punch their ticket as early as this week.Even if they can't do that, they're virtually guaranteed to finish as one of the top seven teams in the conference and therefore make the playoffs.

What kind of seeds they end up with, however, remains to be seen.According to the sports predictions of the sport, they are still at sea to finish as the top seed (49%).A look at Newland's schedule, however, shows that getting something is not easy - it starts with a match against the pigskin at 9-4 on Sunday.

The AFC sets weeks 15 to 18

During the final month of the regular season, the Patriots meet three teams that are still competing for a playoff position (although one of them, Miami, is close to elimination).For a team that has played the easiest schedule in the NFL over its first 13 games, that would be a bit of a change: while their opponents have a .349 hitting percentage so far this season, their next four are currently a combined 24-28 (.462).

Compared to the rest of the AFC contenders, this remains a fairly manageable schedule.This becomes especially clear when compared to the Patriots' top contenders for the No. 1 seed, the Denver Broncos.

The Aurocos' remaining four opponents represent three teams with poor records and three conference hosts.

Now, that Glory belongs to the Colts Team in Freeful.Not only lost three straight, but there will be nothing without them starting the line of the road.Add in a four-game stretch with four current games and a combined .692 winning percentage in Indianapolis.

Their opponent is the Bills, who will be playing their second match of the season with a two-game lead over the Patriots.In addition to New England, Buffalo will face two of the worst teams in football, a Philadelphia Eagles team that is currently on a three-game losing streak.Therefore, their combined record of .481 may be a bit deceptive.

At the end of the day, the Patriots stick together and the chips fall.The thing that should lead to the end of it, however, is the head of Mike, which allows Wrobel to return to Persasason.
