Some Patriots predictions: The 2025 NFL season has arrived, with the first game (Cowboys at Eagles) set to kick off on Thursday evening at 8:20 p.m.
The Patriots get underway on Sunday against the Raiders (1 p.m.) at Gillette Stadium. With a new head coach and a large amount of roster turnover, it will be a new beginning for New England.
Trying to assess how things might go for the Patriots this season is tricky, with back-to-back 4-13 seasons still looming in recent history, but with a sense of optimism permeating the current roster.
