Patriots: Projecting final offensive statistics

In case you haven’t heard, the New England Patriots are undefeated through eight games. Conveniently, eight is half of 16, so the Pats are at the exact midway point of their season. There’s no better time to make accurate predictions for final statistics, as we can just multiply a player’s current statistics by two across the board.

Note that for players who didn’t play much in the first half of the season, reasonable predictions based on per-game averages were made. For example, Brandon LaFell has caught only 11 passes thus far, but he missed the first six games, so it’s unreasonable to project that he will total only 22 catches on the season.
