The New England Patriots are a team to watch heading into the 2025 season. The franchise has a new head coach in Mike Vrabel, a new elite wide receiver in Stefon Diggs, a revamped defensive unit, and another campaign of Drake Maye leading the offense.
The Patriots had a terrible 2024 regular season, finishing 4-13 and bottom of the AFC East. However, this led them to secure the No. 4 pick in the 2025 NFL draft, which they used to select offensive lineman Will Campbell.
By means of the Sportskeeda Playoff Predictor, let's take a look at the Patriots' 2025 schedule in detail and project their record.

New England Patriots' predicted 2025 regular-season record
Sportskeeda's Playoff Predictor projected that the Patriots would finish the regular season with a record of 7-10 and fourth place in the AFC East division. The Buffalo Bills ended up winning the division with a record of 12-5 in that simulation.
Obviously, the Patriots did not qualify for the postseason with that record.
