The Patriots started their 2020 season on the right foot, as they took care of business and defeated the Miami Dolphins by a score of 21-11.

This was Cam Newton’s first game since September 12th, 2019. The former MVP performed well, shook off some early rust, and helped propel the Patriots to victory.

The new-look Patriots offense featured a lot of old school football tactics, and it was quite effective. Running the football, controlling the clock, and winning the turnover battle were three things the Patriots really excelled at during their week 1 performance.

The Patriots kick off their 2020 campaign at home on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. This will the first game since the departure of Tom Brady, and the first game for Cam Newton as a member of the Patriots. After a long offseason, the Patriots enter this season without a plethora of key contributors on both sides of the ball. Some were lost in free agency or trade, others opted out of the season due to covid concerns.

With an unconventional training camp, without a preseason, it’s truly tough to project how the Patriots will do this season. Some believe that the loss of Brady will result in the Patriots’ down-fall, others believe that Bill Belichick will scheme and game plan through all of this, and the Patriots will continue to have success.

Here are 10 predictions for the 2020 New England Patriots:
