NFL Week 11 - Pats Prediction

Pats Prediction:

Last week: I can't figure out the Patriots this year. For the second straight week they abandoned the run against a team with a poor run defense. I've heard people defend the team by saying they are adjusting to the defense, but I don't buy that excuse. I don't care if the Colts or Jets put 8 guys in the box - run the damn ball! The Jets beat the Pats 17-14 last week, dropping New England to 2-3 at home. For the first time in four years the Patriots lost two games in a row. Let's all hope that the new FieldTurf improves the Pats' chances at home rest of the year.

Season record: 4-5 straight up, 2-6-1 against the spread.

Week 9 Favorite: New England (-6)

I hope that Patriots can continue their success on the road this year (4-0). I honestly don't know what to expect today, though. I hope (think?) they will play with a purpose today and get a much needed win before playing the Bears at home next week.

Prediction: Patriots 27, Packers 20
