The New England Patriots are coming off of a well-rounded 36-20 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 3. The Patriots will stick in the AFC West, but face a more accomplished opponent in Week 4, in the Kansas City Chiefs.
For all of the offseason talk about Cam Newton’s fit in New England, the former No. 1 overall pick has fit right in so far. The Patriots have willingly embraced a scheme that puts Newton in a position to succeed.
However, the Patriots will be up against a Chiefs defense that stymied reigning MVP Lamar Jackson in front of a national audience on Monday night.
Besides the matchup on the field, this game also features arguably the two best coaches in the league. Andy Reid showed his offensive versatility against the Ravens, scheming up an offense that features an abundance of pre-snap motion.
Bill Belicheck and the Patriots will prepare all week to try to stop Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and the deep Chiefs offensive attack.
Here are four bold predictions for the Patriots, as they take on undefeated Kansas City.
