Mike vrabel teams are 54-45 and 2-3 in playoffs. Both wins happened one year. I respect him and the patriots but I don’t think he is on par with parcells. The biggest reason other than vrabel is the performance of Maye which is MVP quality.
It is highly unlikely they will have something to play for. Also. Dolphins in the north east in January? Probably not. However this exact thing did happen in 2019 and prevented the pats from securing a bye.
Highly likely correct but you never know. Broncos schedule is tough. The pats have the best chance which is unreal. They have truly had the most fortunate schedule.
