Betting New England Patriots
There’s some good news and then there’s some old news. The good news is that the Pats dropped Antonio Brow like a bad habit. The old news is that New England doesn’t need him – they never did. The best that can be said for Mr. Brown is that his last name perfectly describes his true colors. If it’s Brown, flush it down, naa’mean?

The Pats have just signed Cody Kessler, which leads Cris Carter to believe Brady’s calf is a source of concern. Sounds more like X-Files creator Chris Carter. Believe the lie. The truth is out there.

“It’s the NFL. Any given Sunday anything can happen. Everybody is already writing us off because it is the New England Patriots, but we’re going to come and play our brand of football. That’s hard-nosed, gritty, and I know our fans will help us. We want to give them something to cheer about,” safety Jordan Poyer said. Allen added that “It’s the most important game were playing because it’s the next one. We understand what this game means to the fans and people around the league, but we’re just trying to go 1-0 every week. We know this team prepares well. They are 3-0 for a reason and they’ve got one of the greatest to ever do it at quarterback and head coach.”
New England Patriots vs. Buffalo Bills NFL Week 4 Game Prediction
The Patriots could have, should have and would have covered the point spread set by sportsbook sites against the Jets. But they didn’t because of a botched punt and a pick-six thrown by ‘Double J Jeff’ Jarrett Stidham. What are the odds of that happening again? Take New England and the points.
