Something to think about, Jacksonville won their Superbowl last week in the battle of Florida defeating Miami. Perhaps the enjoyment of that has them in a letdown spot here vs. the Pats right ? I mean they know they aren't supposed to win here, couple that with some injuries from last weeks "superbowl" and you have a team that might not mind letting one go in unfriendly territory.
Brady still has a chip on his shoulder too, he needs to prove this year that he can destroy all opponents and win the Bowl with standard PSI's in the football, since the world has accused him of having to cheat to win games.
I like the pats to stretch their legs here and see how full throttle they can go. Maybe Dion Lewis gets some solid work too, to see what he's made of for later down the stretch.
NE 63 Jags 17

A couple intelligent posts here at least. Polar Bear your post was a good read and made a nice point. Tobasco Cat I agree the Pats will run the ball a lot. This is a good spot to give the RB's a good workout. That final score would be nice but I think it will be more like 35 or 42 to 17. Good luck to you both.

More accurately they are probably the same people that took the Jags and Raiders last week and the same people the took the Raiders to cover a similar spread in New England last season when the Raiders actually tied the game in the last 20 seconds but a phantom penalty saved the Pats the embarrassment of going to OT at home against the worst team in the NFL and allowed them to escape with a tight win, not coming anywhere close to covering the spread. If it only it was always as easy as guys like you think it is. The Pats may cover or they may not but remember they give two craps about your wager and they are coming off an emotional game in Buffalo. Both the Steelers and Bills moved the ball with ease agains this version of the Pats defence. Big spread for a soft defence. GL with your anti fool play
there was that game vs Arizona a couple years ago too where NE lost SU.
