After two weeks of barely blitzing (I read they have only blitzed 4-6 times in the last two weeks), I expect much more blitzing. Both Rivers and Fitzpatrick have quick releases, Campbell not so much. They can afford to leave the secondary a little more exposed this week to send an extra rusher or two especially with Louis Murphy out and their other receivers a little banged up.

I think they will win also. However I think it will be because they are a better team, and not because of some record that goes back to 2003. That has no factor on this game.
I've wavered back and forth this week on this game but now I am feeling confident the Pats will win this one and maybe, just maybe there will a presence of this good thing I hear called a pass rush.
Then again, maybe it's the beer thinking for me :rocker:
I think the only way the Raiders win is if they can get constant pressure up the middle. I don't know if they will because their depleted secondary will allow Brady to make a lot of quick passes. Otherwise, I don't think the Raiders have what has been hurting the Pats so far this season. They don't have a dominant WR. They are a run first team. Their secondary is their weakness of the defense.
Alright this is a very important game (a very early one too), almost like our Pittsburgh game last year trying to bounce back from a rough loss. Looking for the Pats to either have one of those epic bounce back games or lots of pessimism.
I don't think you are going to see a lot of subpackages against a run first team like the Raiders. At least not as much as we have seen thus far this year.
