WK4: New England at Oakland


Real Deal
 Share

Recommended Posts

Anything can happen, but I'm expecting a big win from the Patriots. They have an excellent record after losing games with Brady/Belichick, and they will be on a mission this game. I respect the Raiders ability this year, but I think McFadden and Campbell are in for a rough day. I don't think McFadden is going to have a huge day on the ground at all, and I think the Patriots defense will be blitzing a lot more this game.

 

I'm pretty sure Chung and Haynesworth are going to be back, and I think they will make a big difference this game.

 

Also, Tom Brady got his hair cut, so you know he means business....

Considering the Pats gave up 34 points to the Bills last week, and DMC is the league's best rusher, I see absolutely no logic in your opinion that they'll stuff McFadden.

 

But you're right with most of your predictions, so we'll see

 

I think the d-line has too much talent to not step it up soon, and I think Buffalo was a major wake-up call that the offense can't just carry the team the entire year.

 

Adding Chung and Haynesworth can be huge for the Patriots rushing defense, but again, I wouldn't be surprised by anything.

 

Also, the Raiders haven't proven they can stop anyone either, and I think the Patriots offense is far superior to the Raiders offense.

It certainly is, but you could also say the same about the Bills

Yes, that is correct, but the Bills game also had tom Brady throwing four INT's. There's very little chance that happens in Oakland. His INT's were also at terrible times. That's what got the Bills back in the game, and I'm pretty confident Brady won't be throwing four INT's this week. That's what the difference is to me.

 

I'm proud of you for not trolling either!

I feel like you say this every week :lol:

 

I wouldnt touch this spread with a 49 and 1/2 foot pole. Way too many unanswered questions about both teams.

 

I'm 2/3 so far, and should be 3/3, but you jinxed the Patriots at the end of the first half with your comment about the game being put away at that point if the Patriots score. -_- .

Universe was the one that said the game was over. I said no game is over before halftime and the Bills came back from 24-3 last week. I said after the pick was made if they did score it was pretty much over. HOWEVAAAA, that was after the pick :P I'm not the jinx :(

I was saying on AIM you did say that no game is over in the first half when the game was 21-0, but I'm talking about when Brady threw his first pick that could have resulted in a 28-7 lead at that point, but they turned it over, and you said that the Patriots could have put them away at that point, and we all know how that turned out.

 

However, I usually don't think games are over early, but I was saying that the Patriots are putting the Bills back where they belong......

 

Anyways, this week's prediction is 47-13 Patriots.

Pats will win for sure they will take their anger on them which won't be good and your right when they lose they always win game after

Back to back road games for Pats and Oakland has 2 straight home games the first of which they beat down on the pats division rival. That being said, I still think Pats win. Still both teams are 2-1 I don't see how anyone can have the confidence to say Pats win for sure.

glad to see Stevan Ridley getting more carries this game. Saw flashes of what he could be last week and now hes showing up in this game, could be paving his way to the no.1 RB for the Pats with how much BJGE has struggled so far this season..

 

.. oh yea and our defense blowssssss !

Missed the game, sadly (had a 3-on-3 bball tourney today), but I see the Raiders don't have anyone that can run the ball.

 

OH WAIT, WE DO! I wonder if we know who that McFadden guy is.

 

:rolleyes:

 

And I really wish we could get a new QB. I'm sick of Campbell...he's either going to pad his stats and throw picks, failing in the red zone, or he's going to throw for about 100 yards and do nothing. I miss Gannon so damn much.

 

Would've been nice to have Aso this season, too...but what can I say that hasn't been stated already? :(
