New England Patriots schedule released
The New England Patriots 2010 schedule has been released, and it looks like they could cruise through the first part of the year.
In what is a very balanced schedule that generall starts easy, had a difficult middle part and then ends nicely, the Patriots are set up well to win the division yet again.
The season begins with difficult games against the Bengals and Jets, but the Bills and Dolphins follow before their bye week.
This is where the schedule gets hard, as five of their next six games are against Baltimore, San Diego, Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis. Ouch. A 3-3 mark over those six games wouldn’t be bad at all.
The schedule slate gets much easier toward the end, with games against Chicago, Miami, Buffalo and Detroit to pad their record.
