New England Patriots at New Orleans Saints

☀️: The Good

The Pats made big plays to win the game when they had to.

Maye played great again. This time Boutte stepped up as our main wide receiver. It was also great to see Pop Douglas get involved.

⛈️: The Bad

We could not run the ball at all.

Spencer Rattler looked good and diced us up more than you would have liked to see.

This was the worst reffed game I have seen in some time. It looked like the refs had money on the Saints. Terrible calls were made against both teams, but the Pats especially got some awful calls against them. The Pats won, but the NFL needs to review some of those calls and make sure those refs are actually competent enough to ref in the NFL.

Picks:

Pats win ✅

Pats cover (-3.5) ✅

Detroit Lions at Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs bounce back in a big way to help keep their playoff hopes alive. The Lions will be fine. They had to play Mahomes with a completely banged up secondary.

Picks:

Chiefs win ✅

Chiefs cover (-2.5) ✅

New England Patriots at New Orleans Saints

I think the Patriots win and cover (-3.5).

Detroit Lions at Kansas City Chiefs

With the Lions dealing with so many injuries and the Chiefs desperate for a win, I think the Chiefs win and cover (-2.5).

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills

☀️: The Good

“We are baaaaaaaaaaaack” – Stu Price

My goodness that felt great. Having a legitimate coach, QB, and star WR in Diggs that can go out and beat the best team in the league is just massive and feels amazing.

Drake Maye, what more can we say? This kid is so good. That game winning drive was insane. His throw to Diggs on the game winning drive was one of the best I have ever seen. And it comes in his first career game winning drive on the road against Josh Allen and the undefeated Bills. That’s a career highlight right there.

His stat line in the 2nd half: 13/14 for 184 yards (6/6 for 90 yards in the 4th quarter).

Diggs absolutely balled out and looks like he is back to his old self.

The defense absolutely balled out to get us this win, great job by them. We limited Allen and Cook as much as it is possible to do so. And also forced three turnovers.

Marcus Jones is a playmaker all over the field. We need to get him the ball on offense a couple times a game too.

Andres Borregales had huge game, including his clutch kick. Gotta be happy for him.

I am not going to overreact and act like the Pats are a contender or the best team in the division. They are not and have a long way to go. This game just shows us the future and present are both bright.

⛈️: The Bad

The penalties. We almost gave this game away with stupid penalties.

The fumbles. Stevenson and Gibson need to hold onto the ball.

Speaking of Gibson, we will miss him for the remainder of the year. Hoping he makes a speedy recovery.

We need to take better advantage of the other team’s turnovers.

Picks:

Bills win ❌

Pats cover (+8.5) ✅

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills

A huge early season matchup for the Patriots to show how good they really are. I think the Bills win but the Pats cover (+8.5).
