New England Patriots vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers Prediction
I’m on the Patriots and the points here. The Pats were tested against Atlanta and this is going to be a bigger test, but the Patriots have been able to beat Buffalo on the road already this season and the Patriots winning here would go a long way towards their potential to win the AFC East. Tampa Bay is a solid group at home as well, but I prefer them more in the underdog role and I think that the Patriots get it done here. Give me New England.
