We present an inflationary model in which the Standard Model Higgs doublet field with non-minimal coupling to gravity drives inflation, and the effective Higgs potential is stabilized by new physics which includes a dark matter particle and right-handed neutrinos for the seesaw mechanism. All of the new particles are fermions, so that the Higgs doublet is the unique inflaton candidate. With central values for the masses of the top quark and the Higgs boson, the renormalization group improved Higgs potential is employed to yield the scalar spectral index n(s) similar or equal to 0.968, the tensor-to-scalar ratio r similar or equal to 0.003, and the running of the spectral index alpha = dn(s)/d In k similar or equal to -5.2 x 10(-4) for the number of e-folds N-0 = 60 (n(s) similar or equal to 0.962, r similar or equal to 0.004, and alpha similar or equal to -7.5 x 10(-4) for N-0 = 50). The fairly low value of r similar or equal to 0.003 predicted in this class of models means that the ongoing space and land based experiments are not expected to observe gravity waves generated during inflation.
