This time he actually predicts us to win, but so many mistakes and stupid comments.
Home cooking should help Patriots overcome loss of Welker
Some quotes
As for soft-middle. All-Pro Mankins, Top Center Koppen and 2nd best-rated O-Lineman in the League (from that stats website I never remember the name of) Stephen Neal, looks a pretty good middle of the Line to me.
The fact they only gave away 17 sacks means they are one of the best as well.
Mayo has been pretty consistent the last 3 or 4 games, now he looks like he's back at full health and stuffing the run like he did last year.
Bodden isn't hurt.
Wilhite isn't starting, he's 3rd/4th CB in rotation with Butler, though I bet that rotation slows now after Butler's impressive performance even without the reception.
There are other mistakes as well. How does this guy get a job

He rates the Baltimore Line better as they have been able to run-block. Has he not watched our games? The run-blocking has been much improved this year.Patriots OL
LT Matt Light is rounding back into form from a knee injury, but the middle of the line is very soft. This group faces an enormous challenge from a defensive front that has stepped up its rush lately. Solid protection is more crucial than ever with Brady no longer able to look to Welker on those quick throws

Tully Banta-Cain, not generated enough heat... 10 sacks? He's been the one that's generated heat more than half the time he's blitzed.Patriots LBs
The biggest shortcoming of the Patriots' defense is the lack of a pass rush. OLB Tully Banta-Cain and others have simply not generated enough heat. ILB Jerod Mayo has been inconsistent since returning from a knee injury suffered in the season-opener. However, if the DL does its part, this group could hold up against the Ravens' run game.

Neither Springs or Sanders were injured.Pats Secondary
Getting CB Shawn Springs and S James Sanders back from injury has given this beleaguered group a boost. But the absence of injured CB Leigh Bodden continues to be a problem. Jonathan Wilhite hasn't done much to pick up the slack. If the secondary can focus mostly on the pass, it should hold up against pedestrian receivers.
