Predict the Score Contest, Week 2 NE @ JAX

[PatsDeb]

Going with the same score as last week, Pats 24 and Jags 17. It's supposed to be really hot and humid on Sunday.

Go Patriots!

Our D will shine. The loss of Lee is bad for them in this one.

Chicken little would be predicting a loss to the Bills or Browns. This is a team NE barely got by when it was a must win, in NE. Now it’s in their house and NE is without any move-the-chains WR against a D that caused problems last winter.

That was last season. NE's defense looks improved. NE has TB and they have Bortles. It's a complimentary game and I think NE's Defense will cause problems for Bortles leading to either multiple 3 and outs giving TB more opportunities to score or turnovers giving TB more opportunities to score or both giving TB more opportunities to score.

Only on this board can “barely win” be used as “gonna lose”.
But given your “insight” to last weeks game

If the OL has some brainfarts and Brady gets stripsacked a couple of times I could see Houston winning by a large amount because I don't expect NE's offense to score much more than Houston's offense (mainly because of NE's defense) and because when you're behind by a couple of scores late in a game you have to make more chances which, if they don't pan out, will lead to more points by the opponent.

and your 10-6 prediction your lack of confidence is encouraging.

Pats O is worse than last year but Jacksonville’s D didn’t exactly look all-World last week. Giants had trouble in the red zone, where their OL collapsed. They have Beckham and Barkley and not much else, especially on their OL, which is much worse than the the Pats OL.

I dunno about that yet. They put up almost 400 yards of offense and 27 points against a pretty damned good front 7 last week.

It might end up being true, but I wouldn't definitively say it's worse, yet.
