The Patriots play their thirteenth regular season game on the road at Soldier Field on Sunday December 12th at 4:15 PM.
Hey! Wake up, readers! There's another game this week. Between all the Red Sox hysteria and afterglow from the Jets victory, it's a little too easy to forget that the Pats have to play again this Sunday.
Ho hum. Another AFC Offensive Player of the Week award for #12. Tom Brady has been getting an awful lot of love from me lately, so we'll give him a break this week. If he's not the league MVP, I'll be super pissed. This week I'll let Dan Wetzel make the case for me.
According to the Football Outsiders guys, the 2010 Patriots are so good offensively:
(T)hey are now close to surpassing their 2007 selves for the title of "greatest offense in DVOA history"
(Don't worry... "DVOA" isn't a dirty porn thing or anything like that...)
OK. Enough about the offense. Let's give the defense some love this week. It hasn't always been pretty, but they're getting it done.
Here's five things I'll be watching for this week.
1) Jermaine Cunningham - He's keeps just missing the big sack. Last week Sanchez totally facemasked him. What a fraud!
2) Devin McCourty - This week, he'll be challenged by... Um... Who do the Bears have at WR?
3) Patrick Chung - He's due for a big week. Secretly, I think his knee still hurts and they're just not telling us.
4) James Sanders - One of the few seasoned veterans in the secondary. Plays smart. Had they pick of the year against Pey Pey.
5) Vince Wilfork - I like when he has two guys blocking him and still makes the tackle. Is he awesome? My sources tell me... YES.
One player not to watch this week is Brandon Spikes, who has reportedly been suspended four games. Dumbass.
My prediction: Pats 20, Bears 14
