Even though the Patriots are in the driver\u2019s seat for the No. 1 overall draft pick, they still haven\u2019t cemented themselves into last place in the AFC East.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN\u2019s Mike Reiss broke down New England\u2019s scheduling scenarios ahead of the Week 18 action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they lose to the Bills, they would finish last in the division and play last-place teams from the AFC West (Raiders) and NFC East (Giants) at home next season and the last-place team from the AFC South (Titans) on the road,\u201d Reiss wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Patriots beat the Bills and the Jets lose to the Dolphins at home, New England would finish third in the division as a result of splitting the season series with the Jets and having a better division record. The Patriots would then play third-place teams from the AFC West (Broncos) and NFC East (Cowboys) at home next season and the third-place team from the AFC South (Jaguars) on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, for multiple reasons, it would be in the Patriots\u2019 interest to close out the campaign with a seventh straight defeat.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/main><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New England&#8217;s 2024 season finale will have a major influence on the Patriots&#8217; future, and we&#8217;re not only talking about the NFL draft.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9234,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-england-patriots"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
