2) Week 10 – Sunday Night Football vs Baltimore Ravens

In 2019, the Pats got down 17-0 in what felt like the first three seconds of the game.

Fortunately for New England, they had Tom Brady to help scratch and claw their way almost out of that hole.

Fortunately for Baltimore, the Patriots also had Julian Edelman — who fumbled away a swing pass which went for a 70-yard touchdown that ultimately thwarted the Patriots’ comeback.

This time, the game is in New England, not Baltimore, which is a huge help for quarterback Jarrett Stidham. If the game was in Baltimore, I’d say there’s no chance the Patriots win.

However, Baltimore has the easiest strength of schedule and they will probably be in good shape heading into Week 10. The Ravens won’t be as desperate for a win as New England will be, they’ll be on the road, and maybe Bill Belichick can confuse Lamar Jackson just enough to squeak out a win.

I can see this being a very competitive Sunday night affair.
