00:00You and I have said this before, he really won one game.

00:03Yeah, because Jacoby Brissett, he gets credit for, but Brissett beat the Jets,

00:06and then he gets credit for the Joe Milton win against Buffalo, where he played a series.

00:09But then you can't do it that way, where you say he only won one out of 13,

00:13so he didn't lose the other two, you know what I'm saying?

00:15So you've got to at least say the win total there was three, for the team it was four.

00:20Vegas does not have the Patriots at 11.

00:22No, they have them favored in 11 games.

00:23So maybe that's what he's talking about.

00:24The over-under is 8.5.

00:25It's 8.5, and in some places it's 7.5.

00:28No, it's weighted, right?

00:29You don't win as many hams, but it's 7.5, 8.5.

00:32So that's not Tom Brady, Bill Belichick.

00:34Those guys' floor was like 12 wins every year.

00:37So nobody's going to that degree.

00:40But to say Drake May is good for two wins, I feel like that is the other extreme.

00:46That's aggressive.

00:47I think you have to take into account their opponents.

00:50And we can talk about how much better the Patriots have gotten with coaching staff

00:54and with players.

00:55But one of the reasons, at least for me, the ballooned win total, I have 10, you have 9,

01:02is they play all of the bad teams.

01:04I mean, that's certainly...

01:05They play all of them.

01:05Now, they're not going to win them all, but they play all these horrible teams from a year ago.

01:09They have a great schedule.

01:10It's certainly how it looks now.

01:11The schedule can flip on a dime.

01:13Teams that look bad can be good.

01:14Teams that look good can be bad.

01:15I mean, that happens all the time.

01:16Washington looked like a layup a year ago, and they were in the NFC title game.

01:19So, I mean, that can flip, but right now I fully agree.
