When the matchup was set on Sunday I felt like this was going to be another close, knock 'em down, drag 'em out, last possession type game between these two teams.
The more I look at it, the more I feel like it's going to be a repeat of the kind of games we had with the Texans. 17+ pt lead coming into the 4th quarter with Baltimore maybe scoring on a garbage time bomb that makes it look closer than it was. I'm going to go ahead and predict that the defense holds up in garbage time and Baltimore is too deflated to score late so it ends up as...
NE 45
BAL 17
I also have a good feeling about this game.
I feel like we have the tools to keep them in check offensively -- we're very good against the run, and should be able to stop and even intercept the deep ball with McCourty at safety.
And I think they'll still be feeling effects from the last game (playing 5.5 quarters, tavelling from den to bal to ne, not having a bye week, being old) and will get tired out against the up tempo Pats offense
I'm going to go a bit further (I dont see any garbage time scores cause I think they'll just have given up the 4th quarter).
NE 49 (a bunch of tds)
BAL 13 (1 td, 2 fg)
