How They Got Here – 2025 Season in Review
New England Patriots (6-6) After a 1-4 start, the Patriots have quietly clawed their way back into the AFC wild-card conversation behind second-year QB Drake Maye. Since Week 6, New England is 5-2, averaging 28.1 PPG and ranking 6th in total offense (378.4 YPG) over that stretch. Their defense has cooled off a bit (now 19th in DVOA), but they still lead the league in red-zone defense (48.2% opponent TD rate). At home this year they’re 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS.
New York Giants (2-9) The Giants are in full rebuild mode after trading away veteran pieces at the deadline. Rookie QB Jaxson Dart has flashed big-play ability (27 completions of 20+ air yards, 4th-most in NFL) but has also taken 38 sacks and thrown 11 INTs. The defense has been shredded for 30+ points in five of the last seven games and now ranks dead last in defensive EPA/play (-0.182). They are 1-5 on the road and have lost eight of their last nine contests.
