It will come down to whether the Cardinals can do offensively what they did against the Chargers. The Pats have struggled with mobile QBs and have not won with an opponent hitting 20 points. I think the Cardinals run the ball well, are consistent offensively and will limit the Pats to what they have been doing lately.

I’m going with the Patriots in what should be a really tough game on Monday. This is a must-win for New England, and they’ll finally be facing a defense they can move the ball against. Historically, they’ve done a tremendous job of nullifying J.J. Watt. I expect the same to be the case in this game with Mac Jones and the offense coming alive for a much-needed win on the road.

The Cardinals are just 1-6 at home this season. We think they’ll be 2-6 after this one. The Patriots’ offense just has to many issues to keep up with Arizona.

This Patriots defense is good. They are good against the pass. They put pressure on the quarterback by only rushing four, sometimes five.
