John’s Well-Educated Guesses: Patriots vs. Bills
We’re on to Buffalo.
The schedule makers always try to load up on divisional
games at the end of the year to make things interesting. Eventually they will be meaningful. Eventually there will be a lot at stake. Luckily, this is not the case in 2018.
A simple win against the lowly Bills will net us our 10th
division in a row. This is a hats and t-shirts
game with no contingencies. Win and we
are in.
Seems like a foregone conclusion for awhile now. And there seems to be a dour mood hanging
over Foxborough with how this season has gone.
We have not played up to Patriot standards, Josh Gordon is gone and Brady
is supposedly on his last legs.
That being the case, I also think it’s
important to ruminate on the whole thing from time to time. 10 division titles in a row is no joke. The last time we didn’t win the AFC East, we
went 11-5 with Matt Cassel and lost on tie breakers. I guess what I’m saying is that if the dynasty
has to end tomorrow, just remember how good we’ve had it. I’ll never forget you guys.
Prediction: Pats win
the division – I need a lay-up here guys.
I got smoked last week thinking we would beat the Steelers. As I said, this is a big accomplishment and
the first goal any team looks to cross off their annual list. Here’s to another ten years.
Prediction: Running
game is focus – Bills are sneaky good pass defense which I find weird to think
about. I guess if I remember last season
they have Tre’Davious White…He is still playing right? I just ask because I haven’t heard much about
him. Anyways, with no Josh Gordon, I
think we run it behind Michel and Burkhead.
I’ll say the two of them combine to go over 150.
Prediction: Pats Win
13-10. Lets just stay healthy at least?
