ESPN offers dramatic prediction for Patriots regular season finale
NFL schedules were released Thursday night, and ESPN made bold predictions for the New England Patriots following the announcement.
ESPN’s Mike Reiss gave his thoughts on the schedule, and he offered an interesting twist in his predictions for how the season will unfold. Among his predictions was a dramatic finish for New England in the season finale against the Buffalo Bills.
The Patriots’ season finale will take place on the road in Orchard Park, N.Y. Highmark Stadium could be the backdrop for a potentially dramatic finish between these two AFC rivals, according to Reiss.
“The Patriots will need to beat the Bills in the regular-season finale to secure a playoff berth, and it will be intriguing to see how it unfolds if Buffalo has already solidified its own playoff seeding. The Patriots’ 2021 season ended in embarrassing fashion at Buffalo in a 47-17 playoff loss, and in this scenario, they would have a chance to write a different story a year later.”
