Line: Patriots by -3 Opening Kickoff: The Patriots will close out the 2020 season at home against the suddenly surging Jets. New York has won two in a row with wins over the Rams and the Browns. Two weeks ago, the Jets were on their way to a winless season and the number one pick. Now we are wondering if the Patriots can win what once was a winnable game….
Bill Belichick has been here before. He has rebuilt franchises before. He did it in Cleveland and he has done it here. The only difference now is, he doesn’t have a quarterback. I trust Belichick to turn this thing around and make the Patriots competitive again but it is going to be hard without a quarterback. The quarterback of the future is currently not in the Patriots building. If Belichick…

On Monday night, the Patriots closed out 2020 the same way it began, with an embarrassing home loss. This time it was the AFC East champion Buffalo Bills hammering the Pats 38-9 to give…
Line: Bills by -7.0 Opening kickoff: The Patriots host the Bills on Monday Night Football at Gillette Stadium. The Patriots have lost two in a row and have thus been eliminated from playoff contention. They are in essence playing for pride tonight. The Patriots lost the first meeting between these two teams 24-21 on November 1st in Buffalo. Tonight’s game marks the 122nd meeting between the two teams. The Patriots…
The Washington Football Team cut 2019 first round draft pick Dwayne Haskins this afternoon. Haskins was cut for a variety of reasons most notably for his performance on the field. Haskins has struggled the last two seasons in D.C and was on shaky footing after Ron Rivera was named head coach and de facto general manager last off-season. After some questionable off the field decisions recently and his poor performance…

Fisch is expected to depart for his new job immediately. So, what does this mean for the Patriots? Well, in the short term it means that Josh McDaniels will have to coach the quarterbacks for the last two weeks of the…
Forget what we said about any of the other interviews this year. This one was the best, hands down. Some of the local media has finally had enough of Bill Belichick acting like they’re beneath him and started to (sort of) call him out for answering questions like a child. While there’s still the segment of the media who will forever worship the ground he walks on, there are guys…
Yesterday’s 22-12 loss to the Miami Dolphins effectively ended the Patriots season as they were eliminated from playoff contention. Look on the bright side. At least we don’t have to listen to talk about a “path” anymore. With the loss, the Patriots will now play out the proverbial string against the Bills and the Jets. For the first time in 11 years and only the second time in the last…
John McCall/Sun Sentinel For the first time since 2008, the Patriots will not be part of the NFL postseason. New England continued to trot out an offense that couldn’t compete with some high school teams in this state in a 22-12 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. The lackluster effort leaves the Patriots at 6-8 with two games left against the Bills (next Monday night) and Jets. Just to make…
Line: Dolphins by -1.5 Opening Drive: The Patriots and Dolphins are meeting for the 110th time today. Miami holds a 56-54 advantage in the series. The two teams have met three times in the playoffs as well with the Patriots winning two of the three meetings. The Patriots beat the Dolphins 21-11 in the season opener at Gillette Stadium. Miami is a drastically different team now with Tua Tagovailoa starting…
