Five bold predictions for the Patriots in week seven

Both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe see the field on Monday

You want a quarterback controversy? I think we can see both quarterbacks get some playing time on Monday. Jones is pushing to get back onto the field and reports are that he’ll be the starter once he is back.

But is he healthy now? I can see the Patriots starting Zappe one more time knowing they have Jones ready in case the rookie struggles against a stout Bears passing defense. I can also see the Patriots starting Jones but taking him out if he is ineffective after being out for three weeks.
