USA TODAY Sports’ Nate Davis swung for the fences in his 2017 NFL predictions Monday.

Davis not only predicted that the New England Patriots would win yet another Super Bowl in the Tom Brady and Bill Belichick era, but that the two would do so while going a perfect 19-0, dumping the Oakland Raiders in the AFC title en route to making history.

After projecting the Raiders to go 11-5, here is what Davis had to say in justifying New England running through the entire NFL like a buzzsaw in 2017:

New England Patriots (16-0): Is it bold? Sure. Kinda. But it’s not like Tom Brady hasn’t gone 16-0 before … (and, really, wouldn’t he and Bill Belichick secretly love to add 19-0 to their otherwise incomparable resumes?). And from the FWIW department, Brady went 14-1 last season and appears to be surrounded by an even better cast now, especially if Rob Gronkowski is, in fact, back to 100%. The division should be a cakewalk, and even one of New England’s toughest road games — against the Raiders — will be at a neutral site (Mexico City). The most difficult stretch comes from Weeks 13-15, when the Pats play at Buffalo, at Miami (where they typically struggle) and at Pittsburgh coming off a short week Dec. 17.

Oakland and the Patriots will offer fans a glimpse of what any postseason matchup may look like when the Raiders play host to New England at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Nov. 19, 2017, at 1:25 p.m. PT.
