Patriots play:-

Their opponents have a combined 52% win percentage.

The Cardinals play:-

Their opponents have a combined 61% win percentage.

On a game-by-game basis, I can see the Pats beating only the Jets, bringing their win total to 3.

On a game-by-game basis, I can see the Cards beating Chicago on the road and Seattle at home, bringing their win total to 4.

They have a harder schedule, so we could still tie at three wins and hold on to the 2nd spot in the draft.
