You might find that I don’t really do predictions here on the Prop, nor do I link to power rankings or any one else’s predictions because, in the words of screenwriter William Goldman, “nobody knows anything”.
What’s the point of getting fired up about one random person’s arbitrary thoughts on how the game might unfold?
So, I don’t know. It’s possible the Patriots just happen to be clicking better than the Saints on Sunday. It’s also possible that the Pats struggles continue and the Saints beat them pretty bad.
Doesn’t make you a bad fan that you look at what the two teams have done up to this point, especially last weekend, and think that it probably equals a Saints win. But as the saying goes, upsets are what make sports great.
This is what I know… the Pats will come out swinging and will have to be beaten, they won’t hand the game to the Saints. Which team makes the bigger mistakes will likely be the one that loses the game.
Personally, I’m just looking forward to seeing how the Pats match up against a very good team. There are only so many good teams with good quarterbacks in the NFL. Usually when the Pats win it comes with a “yeah, but they didn’t have an elite QB”.
Well, let’s see how we do against an elite QB this week, and if the offense can show some progress, progress they didn’t show last week. The result will take care of itself.
