Gotta love that photo—Brady to Welker...a phrase we Pats fans have grown to love. The only thing better might be the phrase Brady to Moss.
This week, the Pats are on a bye and will no doubt be working hard to get back to their 2007 form—something that they and their fans both want. The last few beat downs that the Pats have handed out have been nice, but there's still teams out there that need to be slapped by the Pats—namely the Jets. The Pats have been playing better and better each week, both offensively and defensively.
They've gone from dazed and confused, struggling to keep up with the game, to dominating the opposition defensively. I know what you're saying, "they haven't played anyone good yet."
You might be right, but they've improved weekly and have caught the attention of those around the league. By the time we play some of these decent teams (i.e. the Colts), the Pats defense will be up to par with their young and FAST defense. You heard it here first.
Forth and onward—here we go with the picks, made four of us Pats fans for your reading pleasure! Commenting this week is C. Douglas Baker, Eric Annett, and myself.
Sunday, November 1
Broncos @ Ravens
SF: This will be a good game. Both teams are coming off a bye-the Broncos are looking to keep a perfect record and the Ravens are looking to get above .500. With both teams having two weeks to come up with game plans, this could go either way. I’m going to go with the Ravens, just because the Broncos (and their fans) need to be taken down a notch.
DB: Can the solid, but 3-3 Ravens knock Denver off its 6-0 perch? I think the Ravens tough defense and balanced offense, at home, will do it! Baltimore.
EA: The Ravens should be refreshed playing on their own field coming off the bye week. I predict the Ravens will finally slow this Denver team down by pulling out a hard-fought and close win at home
SF: Hmmmm….go Bills? I keep waiting for T.O. to have his breakout game….and I still wait. At least Bills Rookie Jairus Byrd is having a good season, thus far-leading the AFC East in INTs. Unless T.O. has his breakout game, this will be decided by the Bills defensive play. They’ll really have to keep Schaub and Co. grounded to avoid an aerial assault.
DB: Houston has been somewhat inconsistent this year, but Buffalo has been even more inconsistent. Talent wise Houston should win. Houston.
EA: Buffalo has somewhat clicked together as a team as of late, but I don't think they stand much of a chance against the Texans, regardless of the venue. Houston.
SF: Look for Da’ Bears to seek redemption in the eyes of their fans for the two-game road losing streak. Look for the Bears to pull this one out with ease against the 1-6 Browns (HA HA MANGINI!)….Ooops, sorry.
DB: The Bears looked awful against the Bengals last week, but they
are playing the Browns, who are even worse. Chicago.
EA: Even after getting, for lack of better word, raped by the Bengals, there's still no way I'll pick the Bears to drop one
