Five bold predictions for the Patriots in week six

Bailey Zappe gets the start for the Patriots

The Patriots play at 1:00 EST on Sunday which will continue to be Zappe Hour for at least one more week. Quarterback Mac Jones continues to be a limited participant in practice as he tries to fight his way back from an ankle injury but according to a source, he is still having trouble running. Zappe will get the start for at least one more week as it will give Jones another eight days to try and get healthy enough to play against Chicago on Monday October 24th.

Zappe has excelled in the two and a half games he has played, completing 27/36 (75%) for 287 yards, two touchdowns and one interception that was not his fault. I think the Patriots like the game management from him and a 100% Zappe is better than a 50-75% Mac Jones. Now, if Zappe continues to play well, do we have a controversy on our hands?
