Five bold predictions for Patriots in week nine
Deatrich Wise leads the team in sacks
I went in-depth on Wise and Matthew Judon going against the Colts tackles in my key matchups of the week, but I think it will be Wise who ends up having the bigger day. Wise has five sacks on the season and has done a great of getting pressure on the quarterback, highlighted by his season-high five pressures last week against the Jets. Judon may get most of the attention, and rightfully so, but I’ll also go with Wise as he’s been an iron man for the Patriots this season, playing at least 75% of the snaps in seven of eight games.
