The New England Patriots start every season given the immediate status of an elite offense as long as Tom Brady is taking the snaps. Things aren't flowing quite as easy for the Pats this season, and now with Gronkowski out once again, and Brady dealing with a knee injury, the margin for error gets tighter. The Pats are still scoring, but the points don't come as easy. The Rams have gone a month without producing even 300 total yards, and are finding it so difficult to get into the end-zone. The defense has kept then in a lot of games as they became just the second team in the last 25 years to win two games without scoring a TD. Jered Goff's two starts have produced a grand total of 303 passing yards, so don't get too excited about the 21 the Rams got vs. New Orleans last week, they won't get that many this week. I think the Pats do a lot of running here to protect Brady's knee, get a win, and move on. Make the play on the UNDER.
