Count Adam Schefter among the believers in the 2025 New England Patriots. Appearing on his eponymous podcast, the ESPN insider expressed positive feelings about the team of first-year head coach Mike Vrabel.
“I’m going to make a prediction here right now: the Patriots are going to win more games this year than people realize,” Schefter said.
“They’re going to be a better team this year than people realize. Had a strong draft, loaded up, and Mike Vrabel, he knows how to get his team ready to compete. That’s why they made the move. I believe the Patriots will be one of the surprise teams this year.
Schefter added that he sees the Patriots as a potential wild card team, and even potentially giving the Buffalo Bills a run for the AFC East title.
The Patriots are entering 2025 off back-to-back 4-13 seasons under head coaches Bill Belichick and Jerod Mayo.
