Week 10 Game Thread

If the Pats beat the Raiders Sunday they are going to clinch after game 12 or 13.
well it is, in the sense that the Pats are sitting in an Orlando penthouse looking down at a typical Florida sinkhole ....
The AFC East is wide open! Wide open for that race to say “look, we are not a complete basket case and might finish 8-8 or maybe even 9-7.” Looks like the Bills have the inside track to going 4-3 rest of the way. The sixth seed will likely be an inferior team this year.
Pats will clinch the East after game 12 when the Pats become 10-2 after winning in Buffalo. Will be the 7th Bills loss and Miami and the Jets will also have 7 losses by then
This brings to mind the way the schedule has the AFCE games piled up at the back end. I was reading something last week in which Belichick was talking about *when* you play a team being as important as *which* teams are on the schedule. Obviously playing Houston now is a different deal than playing them with Watson; same with NO, who the Patriots got while the Saints were still figuring out how to play defense and what to do with Adrian Peterson. Patriots are going to get most of their division games with all the teams seemingly nosediving.
I always worry that a nothing-to-play-for Suh will do a Turkey Jones on Brady.
If the season ended today, Buffalo would be in the playoffs. Let that sink in.
