based on the nfl's scheduling model ... new england will play the teams of the afc north and nfc central in 2010 ... they will play the other 1st place finishers in their conference ... and they will play their division rivals X2, as always ... this being the case, new england's 2010 home opponents will be the buffalo bills, miami dolphins, new york jets, baltimore ravens, cincinnati bengals, minnesota vikings, green bay packers and indianapolis colts ... the patriots will visit the buffalo bills, miami dolphins, new york jets, pittsburgh steelers, cleveland browns, chicago bears, detroit lions and san diego chargers ... cousin ed will be pleased the colts will be coming to new england in 2010 ... hopefully putting to rest his conspiracy theories about the patriots having played in indianapolis the last 3 years
