In this episode, we discussed the Patriots victory against the Broncos. Later on, we previewed the game against the Raiders in Mexico. We also debated the situation with Martellus Bennett as he returned to the Patriots.

In our pregame matchups we pointed out that the place to attack was the linebackers with the tight ends and backs. And Brady was absolutely clinical

There are certain people players just seem to click with, and it appears that for Martellus Bennett, the one here in New England seems to understand him pretty well.

With the Patriots playing on Sunday night, it offered up another opportunity to keep an eye on what was certainly another interesting day around the NFL.  

While the Patriots spent this week visiting Denver in a 41-16 win over the Broncos, their next opponent has had an extra week to get ready for Bill Belichick’s football team.

Sunday night’s road win against the Broncos helped the Patriots take advantage of a bad weekend by their Division rivals and helps give them some breathing room with a big stretch looming for them.

The Patriots parlayed three plum special teams plays, an interception and some untimely penalties into a 41-16 win on Sunday night at Sports Authority Field.

A major reason why this game turned into a blowout was the dominance of the Patriots STs units and Denver’s continued awful special teams play

Denver may be a place where the Patriots have historically had problems, but New England put together a solid outing against the Broncos Sunday night as they improved to 7-2 on the season.

Brady was cool, calm and collected and consistently found the open man. He finished 25-34 for 266 yards and 3 TDs and no interceptions.

NFL Week 10 has plenty of interesting story lines. On Sunday night the Patriots travel to their house of horrors, Denver’s Mile High Stadium. The Pats are 2-6 since 2005 in Colorado, and 4-18 in the Rockies since 1969. Despite that alarming trend the Patriots are 7½ point favorites as of Saturday night.

With Marcus Cannon out for tonight’s game with an injury, his starting slot at right tackle will fall to LaAdrian Waddle and he knows all eyes will be on him

The New England Patriots honor Veterans Day across social media.

NFL Week 11 looks like it will have plenty of close games. There are no double-digit favorites, and only one game with a spread of more than seven. Home teams are favored in only half of the 14 scheduled games, and nine games have odds of 3½ or fewer points.

The return of Martellus Bennett was one of the more exciting stories this week and while the initial signs seemed to a potential appearance next weekend against Oakland, it appears we could see him a little sooner than expected.
