Match-ups

Everybody has been looking forward to watching Brees square off with Tom Brady twice in 2020 since Brady departed New England for a two-year contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March. The two teams will meet in Weeks 1 and 9.

The Bucs last beat New Orleans in Week 1 of 2018.

Brady and Brees last played in 2017. The Patriots won 36-20.

Outside of the NFC South, Brees has marquee quarterback matchups with two-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and Super Bowl LIV MVP Patrick Mahomes.

The Saints also have a rematch with the Vikings, who are responsible for ending their 2017 and ’19 seasons.

Record prediction : 10-6

Match-ups

The division title will be particularly important for Minnesota this season because the NFC wild-card race figures to become a crowded mess, and no team wants to place their fate in the hands of tiebreakers.

In turn, the Vikings' two most important games are the head-to-head meetings with the Green Bay Packers. A sweep would not only put the team on pace to take the division, but it would also give it the inside track on possibly capturing the top seed in the NFC.

Beyond that, the focus will be on six games against teams they may end up battling for wild-card berths—the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At minimum, they'll likely need a 4-2 record from those contests.

The bottom line is Minnesota will be playing an important game pretty much every week, and it wouldn't be a surprise if its playoff fate comes right down to the final weeks, if not the last contest. Whether that constant pressure takes a cumulative toll is a factor to consider as the year goes on.

Week 17 : Sun., Jan. 3 — San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks (Levi's Stadium), 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX

Matchups

San Francisco will have six games against 2019 playoff teams, including the Seattle Seahawks (twice), New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers, Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots. 

The Patriots game will mark Garoppolo's first appearance at Gillette Stadium since being traded to San Francisco midway through the 2017 season. Since there are major questions in New England following Brady's departure, that game may not be as difficult for the Niners as it once seemed. 

One reason the 49ers had home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs last year is because of their success against top teams in the conference. They split the regular-season series against Seattle, with San Francisco's Week 17 win at CenturyLink Field clinching the NFC West.

The 49ers' two games against the Packers were one-sided affairs for the NFC West champs. They outscored Green Bay 74-28, including a 37-20 win in the NFC Championship Game. 

One of the most-anticipated games of the entire 2020 season will be San Francisco visiting New Orleans. The two teams played a 48-46 instant classic at the Superdome in Week 14 last season, highlighted by George Kittle carrying three Saints defenders down the field on a 4th-and-2 reception to set up Robbie Gould's game-winning field goal. 

Since the Seahawks, Saints, Packers and Eagles figure to be among the cream of the crop in the NFC this season, those are the measuring-stick games for the 49ers if they are to get back to the Super Bowl.

Week 17 (Sunday, Jan. 3): Kansas City Chiefs vs Los Angeles Chargers, 1 p.m. ET (CBS)

Match-ups

With the AFC West in turmoil, the focus will be on non-divisional games, and there are some exciting ones.

One of the most intriguing battles will be against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as Mahomes faces Tom Brady for the fourth time. Brady won the first two during the 2018 season with the New England Patriots, but the Chiefs handed New England a rare loss at Gillette Stadium in Week 14 last year.

Brady has a new team around him, but the quarterback battle in Week 12 should remain exciting.

The same could be said about the Week 15 game against the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome, a matchup some have expected in the Super Bowl the last two years but never came to fruition.

Still, the most important game on the schedule will be on the road against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3.

With the way Lamar Jackson played last season, it's clear Baltimore is the biggest threat to Kansas City returning to the Super Bowl next year.

The Chiefs have beaten the Ravens in close games each of the last two years, but both came at Arrowhead Stadium. The team must now go to M&T Bank Stadium in a game that could decide the AFC.

Packers strength of schedule & prediction

Green Bay’s opponents had a 128-126-2 record in 2019, good for a .504 winning percentage and the 14th toughest schedule in the NFL by record.

The Packers face just four teams that won six games or less last season, and two of those are against the Lions. Detroit lost two games by a combined four points to Green Bay in 2019. Carolina and Jacksonville both visit Lambeau Field and are among the easiest games on the schedule.

Record prediction: 10-6

Patriots Football Schedule

The New England Patriots are a professional American football team based in the Greater Boston area. The Patriots compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league's American Football Conference East division.

New England Patriots Schedule

Week 1 : New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins, Sept. 13, 1 p.m.: Win

The Dolphins have potential in 2020, but it’s capped with either Ryan Fitzpatrick or rookie Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback.

Week 2 : New England Patriots vs Seattle Seahawks, Sept. 20, 8:20 p.m.: Loss

Asking Jarrett Stidham to walk out of CenturyLink Field with a win might be too much for a first-year starter in Week 2 even if there are no fans in the stadium.

Week 3 : New England Patriots vs Las Vegas Raiders, 1 p.m.: Win

The result might be different if this game was being played in Vegas. The Patriots’ defense should be too much for Derek Carr and the Raiders to handle in Foxboro. The Raiders are one of the weaker teams New England plays with an over/under of 7 wins.

Week 4 : New England Patriots vs Kansas City Chiefs, Oct. 4, 4:25 p.m.: Loss

The Super Bowl champs? On the road. Can’t see this one coming out the Patriots’ way. The Chiefs’ over/under is 11.5 wins.

Week 5 : New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos, Oct. 11, 1 p.m.: Win

The Broncos could be better in 2020, but Drew Lock coming to Foxboro sounds like a losing equation for Denver, which has an over/under of 7.5 wins.

Week 6, – BYE –

Week 7 : New England Patriots vs San Francisco 49ers, Oct. 25, 4:25 p.m.: Loss

Jimmy Garoppolo’s revenge game. Will San Francisco have a Super Bowl hangover after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs? Possibly, but they’re still a very talented team fully capable of beating the Patriots at Gillette Stadium.

Week 8 : New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills, Nov. 1, 1 p.m.: Loss

The Bills went 10-6 as a playoff team in 2019, and after adding Stefon Diggs, they could be even better this season. Their over/under win total is just 9, however. With the Bills on the rise and New England on the decline, Buffalo takes this one.

Week 9 : New England Patriots vs New York Jets, Nov. 9, 8:15 p.m.: Win

The Jets actually surprised some folks by winning 6-of-8 games to finish out the 2019 season. We think they’ll ultimately take a step back in 2020 with Adam Gase at head coach. Vegas agrees. The Jets’ over/under is just 6.5 wins.

Week 10 : New England Patriots vs Baltimore Ravens, Nov. 15, 8:20 p.m.: Loss

The Ravens are tough with Lamar Jackson at quarterback. This is a winnable game, but we’ll chalk it up as a loss around midseason.

Week 11 : New England Patriots vs Houston Texans, Nov. 22, 1 p.m.: Win

This could be the year the wheels fall off for the Texans, whose over/under is 7.5 wins. Without DeAndre Hopkins at wide receiver, we see the Patriots going into Houston and beating the Texans.

Week 12 : New England Patriots vs Arizona Cardinals, Nov. 29, 1 p.m.: Win

The Cardinals are on the up-and-up after acquiring wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The Patriots have success against young quarterbacks, however, and it will be tough for Kyler Murray to come to Gillette Stadium and win. The Cardinals’ over/under win total is 7.

Week 13 : New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Chargers, Dec. 6, 4:25 p.m.: Win

It’s either Tyrod Taylor or Justin Herbert at quarterback for the Chargers this season. Either player would have a tough time besting Bill Belichick even with the game in LA. The Chargers’ over/under is 7.5 wins.

Week 14 : New England Patriots vs Los Angeles Rams, Dec. 10, 8:20 p.m.: Loss

This is certainly a winnable game for the Patriots. We think they wind up losing the Super Bowl LIII rematch on a short week. The Rams’ over/under win total is set at 8.

Week 15 : New England Patriots vs Miami Dolphins, Dec. 20, 1 p.m.: Loss

The Patriots never play well in Miami, and the Dolphins are an up-and-coming team. The Dolphins won five games last season and significantly improved their roster this offseason. Their over/under win total is 6. We think they could finish with a better record than 6-10 with Brian Flores at head coach.

Week 16 : New England Patriots vs Buffalo Bills, Dec. 28, 8:15 p.m.: Win

We still don’t trust that Josh Allen and the Bills can win against a Bill Belichick defense in Foxboro.

Week 17 : New England Patriots vs New York Jets, Jan. 3, 1 p.m.: Win

The Jets have some potential if Sam Darnold can avoid contracting mono for the second straight year. We can’t see them winning in Foxboro quite yet, though, especially late in the season.

Match-ups

The Patriots’ divisional games should be more intriguing than they have been in past years, especially against the Bills, who went 10-6 in 2019 and added No. 1 wideout Stefon Diggs this offseason.

However, it’s still tough to trust anyone in the AFC East. The Patriots haven’t lost more than one game in the division since 2015, going 20-4 over the past four years.

This leaves the non-divisional games for fans and players to highlight on the schedule.

In Week 10, New England takes on the Baltimore Ravens, a team that led the NFL with a 14-2 record last year. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson embarrassed the 8-0 Patriots last season in a 37-20 rout.

The Pats go on the road to face Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4, getting a rematch against Patrick Mahomes after he led a 23-16 win at Gillette Stadium last year.

A Week 7 home game against the San Francisco 49ers should also be interesting with Jimmy Garoppolo returning to face the organization that drafted him. The fact that the Niners reached the Super Bowl last season should also make this a must-see matchup.

Storylines aside, these games will be vital in serving as a measuring stick for the Patriots in 2020.

Record prediction: 9-7
