I like the Patriots in this game. I would have picked the Raiders had the Patriots beaten the Bills, but here is why I like New England. I view this game as one in which the logo needs to be defended. The Patriots have been called a finesse team. The defense is under media siege. I believe the players are better than they’ve shown and that they will rally around this to beat the Raiders. As long as the OL can protect, I like the Patriots to put up 30-plus points in this game, and I don’t see the Raiders keeping pace.
