After a disappointing 2020 campaign, followed by one of the biggest squad overhauls in recent memory during the offseason, New England Patriots fans will be cautiouslessly optimistic about the 2021 NFL season.
New England will get their new season underway when they host AFC division rivals the Miami Dolphins in Week 1.
That will be followed by a trip to the MetLife Stadium a week later, as Bill Belichick's men look to do battle with the similarly revamped New York Jets in Week 2.

How much do New England Patriots tickets cost?
Ticket prices at Gilette Stadium for the Patriots' opening homefield contests vs. the Dolphins (Week 1) and the Saints (Week 3) are yet to be announced, though it is worth noting that season tickets are already sold out.
The average price of tickets for games in Foxborough last season was $120, with the cheapest coming in at around $68. Given the economic climate of this post-COVID world, it's unlikely the Pats hike prices too much, so I'd expect to pay about the same as in 2020.

New England Patriots Season Prediction: 10-7
Despite the fact that the 2021 Patriots roster looks significantly upgraded from last season, some tough trips down south to duke it out with NFC South staples the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons -- plus two games vs. last season's AFC Conference finalists and division rivals the Buffalo Bills -- should see the Pats slip to 10-7.
That said, I do think the Patriots make the playoffs and, if this roster clicks into gear, the sky is the limit.
