The FOX Sports analyst originally predicted the Patriots would be one of the surprise teams with a winning record in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>He refuses to back down from that prediction, and he even doubled down on it in a recent episode of &#8220;The Herd.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPatriots, I\u2019ve said this, they will be the Washington of the NFL,\u201d Cowherd said. \u201cI predicted Washington and Denver would be the most improved teams. I\u2019m predicting the Patriots will be the most improved team. Drake Maye actually has a coach, and they\u2019ve made major upgrades O- and D-lines.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/colincowherd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ColinCowherd<\/a> presents his post-Draft NFL playoff predictions <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2LhU1cEweB\">pic.twitter.com\/2LhU1cEweB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Herd w\/Colin Cowherd (@TheHerd) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheHerd\/status\/1919817394307969079?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 6, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<p>The Patriots have seemingly transformed their roster with major upgrades on both sides of the ball in free agency and the 2025 NFL draft. They&#8217;ve added standout defenders, like Milton Williams, Carlton Davis III and Robert Spillane.<\/p>\n<p>On the offensive side of the ball, they added key new weapons with Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins, along with rookies TreVeyon Henderson and Kyle Williams. They&#8217;ve also boosted the offensive line with rookies Will Campbell and Jared Wilson, along with veterans Morgan Moses and Garrett Bradbury.<\/p>\n<p>Couple the many roster moves with one of the easiest schedules in the league, and it&#8217;s clear why Cowherd is so confident about his prediction. Winning the AFC East division will be tough with the Buffalo Bills still at the top, but the Patriots could make things competitive enough to contend or even earn a Wild Card spot in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colin Cowherd is still sticking with his prediction that the New England Patriots will be a playoff team in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23240,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[548,297,1372,77,1371,1327,1369,935,1368,74,18,1366,1370,889,1367,1229,936],"class_list":["post-23239","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots","tag-buffalo-bills","tag-colin-cowherd","tag-denver","tag-drake-maye","tag-garrett-bradbury","tag-jared-wilson","tag-mack-hollins","tag-milton-williams","tag-morgan-moses","tag-new-england-patriots","tag-nfl","tag-prediction","tag-robert-spillane","tag-stefon-diggs","tag-surprise-teams","tag-treveyon-henderson","tag-will-campbell"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
