Chris Brockman · May 26, 2025
Brockman predicts the Patriots win 10-plus games in the coming season for the first time since Tom Brady, floating a 10-7 record based on their schedule. He also expects Caleb Williams to make a massive leap and finish top five in MVP voting, which he agrees implies an 11- or 12-win Bears season and Coach of the Year for Ben Johnson.
“The Patriots are gonna win 10 plus games this year for the first time since Tom Brady.”
