New England Patriots: Season and Game-by-Game Predictions

Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns:

Cleveland is a young team that is improving on both sides of the ball and has some interesting young playmakers like wide receivers Josh Gordon and Greg Little and running back Trent Richardson. That said, Cleveland may want to blame the schedule makers who put them behind Houston. With the season winding down and back-to-back tough games, expect quarterback Tom Brady and the Patriots to take out their frustrations on the young Browns and give them a lesson in dominant offenses in the NFL.  With ten wins, the Patriots lock up the AFC East in week fourteen and turn their attention to home field advantage in the playoffs.

Prediction: Patriots 41 – Cleveland 9 Record: 10-3.

Week 15 at Miami Dolphins:

Another year, another game at the end of the season with Miami looking up at the Patriots in the standings. The Dolphins went into 2013 with a ton of hype after an offseason of wheeling and dealing, releases and trades, big money free agents and trading up in the draft. Unfortunately, the song remains the same as the Patriots are in South Beach playing for playoff seeding. With the excessive money paid to wide receiver Mike Wallace and lacking playmaker Reggie Bush who they let leave in free agency, the Dolphins could be closing out the season with yet another uninspiring finish and dreams of next year.

Prediction: Patriots 24 – Miami 7 Record: 11-3.
