The second place 1 - 2 New England Patriots host the Carolina Panthers at Gillette on Sunday September 28th at 1:00 PM. Should be a barn burner. I marinated the football in butter and olive oil before the game last week. It sucks that they gave away a winnable game last week. Was that a good Pittsburgh team? Eh, not really. Were the Patriots worse? Absolutely. Season Power Rankings: 1) Salt 2) Autumn 3) Spring 4) of the Witch 5) Tickets Three Things I'm looking forward to this week: 1) Wide receivers who know which direction to run. 2) Going for it on fourth down. 3) Ball security. Did the Patriots score 20 points last week? No. (Bonus points for putting up 33 on a hapless Dolphins team in week 2. If only we could play the Dolphins 17 times a year.) My prediction: Pats 24, Panthers 21 *** Film Pervert Corner - Neo-Noir Sicko Film of the Week: Memories of Murder Dir. Bong Joon Ho. 2003.
