The former Pats' quarterback meets up again with his old teammates tonight in what should be a decent game. I said Should, because it is, after all, Drew Bledsoe at the helm, and the last time they met the Patriots took them on their own turf by 14 points.
RT Mike Williams is more than likely going to ride the bench tonight nursing what appears to be a sprained neck. This is going to make Bledsoe's job even tougher as he likes to roll out (when he does) in that direction. You can count on focus being made to bring the pressure from the right side by the Patriots.
Buffalo has one of the best defenses in the NFL and one that is very well rounded being 4th against the rush and 3rd against the pass. They are hardnosed in the red-zone which means that Dillon better be on his game tonight. But, they have primarily played low scoring teams, and they lost to Oakland. That speaks volumes. Heck they let Baltimore post 20 against them. Bottom line, the best team they have played to date (other than the Pats') is the Jets. They lost a close one and won a close one. The Patriots are in a whole other class.
Speaking of New England, their play last week sans CB Ty Law didn't seem to have as much of an adverse reaction as one would have thought. And it's not like they were playing a ground and pound team. Come on folks, it was Marts and his air assault. The Patriots did a fine job of keeping Bruce, Holt and crew at bay for a good portion of the game.
One thing that should worry folks is the fact that CB Asante Samuel will most probably be starting opposite undrafted rookie Randall Gray. This will only be Grays second start, so his impact really has yet to be proven.
All things being equally though, The New England Patriots are just a far superior team. They needed to get that loss off their shoulders. Now that it's gone so is a lot of the pressure. That means they can go back to playing the kind of ball that we have at least grown to respect if not enjoy.
My Online Betting Action: The Patriots -7 -110.
My Possible Online Betting Action: The Over 37.5 -105.
