The Patriots are once again playing in the Sunday night primetime slot
Duron Harmon Jerseys 2019 , but it will be impressive if this one even comes close to matching the thrill ride they gave us last time.The last time we saw the Pats on Sunday Night Football, they battled Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs to a 43-40 victory in what will probably be the game of the year. This time around, they get Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Even if this is a less-than-stellar Packers team, it will still be a matchup of the two best quarterbacks in the league.That fact alone will make this an absolute must-see matchup.While Green Bay is only 3-3-1 and doesnr17;t present quite the same offensive threat that Kansas City did, you can never not view Rodgers as a threat. Her17;s the most naturally gifted quarterback the NFL has to offer, and maybe even of all time. He has the skills to always make the Packers dangerous, even if the team around him isnr17;t much to behold. With that being said, the Packers almost became the first team to beat the Rams last week White Marcus Cannon Jerseys , until a costly fumble killed any chance they had of pulling out the victory. They will present another interesting test for the Pats, who struggled to get the offense rolling in Buffalo this past Monday night.Simply put, these are two imperfect football teams with all-time great quarterbacks. And any time Rodgers and Tom Brady share the field, itr17;s going to be a great game.And with that, letr17;s get to the picks for Week 9鈥?Home teams in caps, and all spreads courtesy of OddsShark.com)REDSKINS (-1.5) over FalconsThe Redskins have been the biggest surprise of the season so far. I, like many others, thought their season was cooked in training camp when Derrius Guice went down with a torn ACL. But then Adrian Peterson came in and somewhat revived his career Marcus Cannon Jerseys 2019 , and Washington is stunningly in first place in the NFC East, even ahead of the defending Super Bowl champs. Color me shocked.Bears (-10) over BILLSWithout Josh Allen, you just canr17;t expect this Buffalo offense to do anything. Derek Anderson was their quarterback last week, and they managed two field goals against the Patriots. And the Bears have a more deadly defense than the Patriots do.If you donr17;t believe me, the Bills are only averaging 10.9 points. You arenr17;t going to cover many spreads that way.Lions (+5.5) over VIKINGSIr17;m not sold on either team in this game, but the Lions are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games and are 6-1 straight up in their last seven divisional games.Chiefs (-8.5) over BROWNSThe Browns have actually been a pretty decent team to bet on this year as they are 5-3 against the spread. But against this Kansas City offense? No way.DOLPHINS (-2.5) over JetsThe Dolphins seem like a safer bet at home than the Jets r12; who failed to cover last week against a Bears team that was missing both Khalil Mack and Allen Robinson r12; do on the road.Steelers (+2.5) over RAVENSThis one is tricky. The Steelers havenr17;t lost since the Ravens handed them a 26-14 defeat in Week 4. At the same time, the Steelers are also 1-5 against the spread in their last six games against Baltimore. Howr17;s that for a dilemma?PANTHERS (-6.5) over BuccaneersWe all got sucked into the whole FitzMagic thing two months ago. Letr17;s not do that again.Texans (+1) over BRONCOSItr17;s the return of Demaryius Thomas to Denver just days after the Broncos traded him away. Anyone else think it would be fun to see him go off for three touchdowns and like 180 yards?SEAHAWKS (-1) over ChargersIr17;m still over waiting for the Chargers to collapse. Itr17;s taking much longer than I hoped.SAINTS (+2) over RamsThe Rams have to lose at some point, right? They showed signs of vulnerability last week against the Packers White Brandon Bolden Jerseys , surviving in the final minutes thanks to a Ty Montgomery fumble. Now they face the Saints at home, who are 6-1 and 5-2 against the spread. If the Rams are going to lose a game this season, it might be this one.PATRIOTS (-5.5) over PackersThe Pats have won 11 straight home games and nine of them have been by at least seven points. As great as Aaron Rodgers is, I donr17;t think the Packers are going to have it at Gillette Stadium this weekend. If the game was being played at Lambeau Field, then it would be a different story.COWBOYS (-5.5) over TitansThis one is a tossup. Neither team can be trusted. I guess the Cowboys at home seems fair, but Ir17;m not really sure. Too bad we canr17;t trade this Monday night game out with the Steelers-Ravens game or something like that.Last week: 7-7This week: 0-1Season: 58-59-5 The Boston Red Sox are celebrating their football neighbors today, but several key Patriots faces wonr17;t be there.According to Phil Perry of NBCSportsBoston.com, owner Robert Kraft Brandon Bolden Jerseys 2019 , coach Bill Belichick, and quarterback Tom Brady wonr17;t be present when the Patriots are honored at todayr17;s celebration at Fenway Park.Both teams are celebrating titles (pity the long-suffering Boston sports fans, who have to wait three months between championships), but at least for Kraft, itr17;s time to lay low after charges of solicitation of prostitution emerged.Their offseason program doesnr17;t start until next week, so itr17;s unclear how many players will be there. But retired tight end Rob Gronkowski said her17;d be there (he would not miss a good party), along with cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
