Five bold predictions for Patriots in week eleven

Patriots record at least three sacks

The last time we saw the Patriots, they recorded nine sacks of Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger as part of a beatdown of the Colts. Three sacks of Jets quarterback Zach Wilson might not seem like a lot, but he has only been sacked 12 times in six weeks as his scrambling ability allows him to elude pressure even if it leads to bad turnovers.

In week eight, the Patriots were only able to sack Wilson twice, but pressured Wilson 16 times. According to The Athletic ($), the Patriots have the NFL’s third-best pressure rate since week six and they are now second in the NFL with 32 sacks on the season. Matthew Judon continues to lead the league and Deatrich Wise has set a new career high. I can see them racking up at least three sacks this week.
