I feel an upset coming this week, this is another game I have circled as a possible upset, good one for the Patriots to simply not show up for a week
They have won a ton of games, 9-2 and ahead of schedule yet everyone says they can't make the Super Bowl
If that's true than they are way overrated at 9-2, I'll take the points and hope for the best
Bengals +7.5, giddy up!

I would probably agree with Chase on the field, without him I think the Pat’s further drive the nail into the Bengals slim playoff hopes.

That's an excellent point, no Burrow and no Chase...yet the line is still reasonable...something is rotten in Denmark

Yeah, I should have thrown Burrow in my statement…had he been playing I would not bet against him.

A few weeks ago, I thought this had the chance to be the Pats trap game but the combo of no Chase (huge factor because now Gonzo can focus on Higgins) and Vrabel having the Pats showing up every week has me optimistic they continue the way they have been going and get out of here with a win...I am really interested to see what getting Boutte and Stevenson back does for the Patriots O...Boutte has looked very good this year and is a Maye binky and my hope is the Stevenson/Henderson combo now turns into what I thought it would be going into the season as Henderson seems to have figured things out after a slow start...this could be a huge upgrade for the Pats O if it turns into a best-case scenario.

Personally, I think Flacco vs Burrow in his 1st game back, is probably a wash for the Bengals. It'd be nice to see Burrow back (he's one of favorites to watch) but with another game on Thursday, I get sitting him this week, sort of like the Ravens with Lamar a few weeks back. No Ja'Marr Chase hurts a lot. Not that his absence makes this a bad offense, but a more containable one for sure. I've seen a lot of people talking about being worried about Higgins with Chase out, and Higgins facing Gonzalez, and I don't get that at all. Higgins is probably a top-5 WR this week, and likely to see a season high in targets, and Gonzalez (while good) isn't some shutdown CB who follows guys. Drake London had his best game of the season against this defense a few weeks ago, and Egbuka had a nice game 2 weeks ago. I do expect the Patriots to shut down the run, so Chase Brown probably needs to hit in the pass game to pay off, and he very well might.

For NE, I can't help but feel like TreVeyon Henderson owners are gonna be really disappointed this week, both by workload, and natural regression. Stevenson probably sees the GL work, and its been a little fluky that they have had more rush TDs than pass TDs the last 2 weeks. I think this sets up as a really nice Drake Maye game, and I think Diggs stays hot, as he should avoid DJ Turner in the slot.

Patriots-31
Bengals-17

I see this as being similar to The Giants/Lions game
Pats will have their way all day
The other Joe will throw a garbage time touchdown to make it look closer than it will be...

Pats- 41

Bungles- 20
