Patriots Week 3 bold predictions: Jabaal Sheard will blow up

While all the attention will be Texans pass rushing monster J.J. Watt, it will be Jabaal Sheard who explodes for a hat trick of sacks on Thursday night, the first of our Patriots Week 3 bold predictions.

Don’t forget that Sheard has a huge game against the Texans last year. If you take a gander at Sheard’s 2015 game log, you will see that the former Cleveland Browns defensive end posted two sacks in the Week 14 encounter in Houston, as well as two forced fumbles. Sheard was a major reason why the Patriots cruised to a 27-6 victory that night.

In Week 3, Sheard will maintain his strong play against the Texans by fighting his way into the backfield constantly. He will cash in with three sacks, a pass rusher’s hat trick.

Meanwhile, Watt will have a frustrating night getting to the quarterback…
