The New England Patriots hope to end a two-game losing streak when hosting the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
It has been all downhill for the Patriots since their impressive upset win on the road against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. They have dropped back-to-back losses to the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams.
Granted, they put up more of a fight against the Rams, but they were dominated in all phases in last week’s 34-15 loss to the Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium.
Rookie quarterback Drake Maye has continued to show promise, but his positive plays were constantly negated by bad penalties and blocking issues along the offensive front. Meanwhile, the Patriots defense suffered a complete meltdown against quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins’ high-powered offense.
Perhaps they can finally get back on track against a flawed Colts team at home on Sunday. Indy is coming off a 24-6 blowout loss to the Detroit Lions. They are 1-4 in their last five games, but all of those losses came against likely playoff opponents.
Richardson has shown a tendency to be a turnover machine. Can he play a clean game and help the Colts come out on top against the Patriots?
Here’s the full round-up of Patriots Wire staff picks for the Week 13 matchup:
Jordy McElroy (5-7) – Patriots 28, Colts 20
Danny Jaillet (6-6) – Patriots 27, Colts 21
Cam Garrity (3-9) – Patriots 13, Colts 16
