Predictions:

Happy Turkey Day everyone! NFL fans will be treated to what looks like three interesting and competitive games today. None of the six teams playing Thursday enter the day with a losing record; I can’t recall that ever being the case in previous years. Sit back, drink, feast and enjoy the company of your family and friends everyone.

The QB carousel for the Jets is swinging back to Ryan Fitzpatrick this week and Bowles is hearing it from not only the media but Jets fans as well.

“What the hell is that?” Belichick said. “You can take those advanced websites and metric them wherever you want. I don’t know. I have no idea.”

Look for the Patriots to run Blount at least 20 times left behind Nate Solder and Joe Thuney this week and attack the Niners porous 3-4 front seven.

In a true no-brainer, the Patriots selected LS Joe Cardona to represent the Patriots as the team’s nominee for the league’s Salute to Service award.

Super Bowl 49 was arguably the most exciting and memorable championship game in the history of the National Football League. On Sunday NFL fans will be treated to a rematch of that epic event as the Seattle Seahawks travel to Foxboro to take on the New England Patriots. Currently these two clubs are favorites to represent their respective conferences at NRG Stadium in Houston on February 5 for Super Bowl 51.

Week 8 is highlighted by a chance for the New England Patriots to avenge their only loss of the 2016 season. The Pats travel to Buffalo seeking their fourth straight win while the Bills look to rebound from last week’s loss to Miami.

Brady’s record against teams that Ryan has either coached or been a defensive coordinator on is a stellar 12-4, with 27 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

The Pats passing game is a different one than the Bills faced in Gillette. With Brady back in the fold, the NE passing game is more dangerous than ever.

Tom Brady had a very solid day improving to 9-2 lifetime against Pittsburgh. He completed 19 of 26 for 222 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions

5-1 New England will travel to Pittsburgh to face the 4-2 Steelers at Heinz Field in the marquee game of NFL Week 7. The Patriots are favored by 7.

The first time the Patriots and Steelers met was 44 years ago today at the old Three Rivers Stadium with the Steelers taking home a 33-3 win

After an impressive 33-13 victory at Cleveland, the Patriots return to Foxboro to face the Cincinnati Bengals. Gillette Stadium will be rocking for the 2016 home debut of Tom Brady after his four game Article 46 exile. With clear skies and only a slight breeze perhaps the wine and cheese crowd might even remain in their red seats and brave the 67° forecasted temperature to view TB12 live, rather than retreating to the Putnam Club lounge.

The game kicks off at 1:00 pm eastern time with fairly extensive nationwide coverage by CBS. Ian Eagle will handle the play-by-play duties, with Dan Fouts adding in the commentary. Why these two are considered by CBS to be the number two broadcast team while the Greg Gumbel-Trent Green duo is third is baffling.

“Because of what Paul Brown and Jim Brown did for professional football in that city. It has a special place in my heart.”

Guard Jonathan Cooper is being released, per Field Yates of ESPN. The team was activating DL Woodrow Hamilton from the PS.
