Five bold predictions for Patriots in week thirteen
Patriots record an interception

The Patriots have 12 interceptions on the season, and they’ve needed all of them to offset the brutality of their offense. In fact, they’ve registered at least one interception in nine of their 11 games so far this season, with the latest coming from Jonathan Jones, who victimized Kirk Cousins last week.

The ball-hawking secondary, combined with the pressure put on by their excellent pass rush, is what the Patriots’ defense has relied on so far, and it’s paying off.

Now comes the matchup with Bills quarterback Josh Allen and his group of receivers. Allen has gone four straight games against the Patriots without throwing an interception and has ten touchdown passes in that span. However, he has thrown 11 interceptions so far this season and has at least one in seven of their 11 games, so there should be some opportunities out there.
