Game Prediction

This is by no means an easy matchup for New England. Last week they could not match the Texans’ intensity on the road in what Houston had deemed a “measuring stick” game. The Chiefs will be similarly motivated, having lost to the Patriots twice last season.

New England at least will have a loud and raucous crowd on hand at home to help boost their energy. In addition, not having almost a dozen players on the injury report with flu-like symptoms can only be a boon for the unit.

Expect more energy on both sides of the ball and a return to the ball control and play-action passing attack of 2018.
