Breakfast at Wembley will be different way to start day
Who needs Breakfast at Wimbledon? We’ve got Breakfast at Wembley, as in Wembley Stadium.
If you’re up,yes, just click on the teley, as they say in jolly ol’ England, and we have the Jaguars and the Patriots. Of couse to the rest of the country other than New England and north Florida, it’s a reason to just stay in bed.
Nothing like a Sunday morning game between two 1-5 teams, right? But we had some drama this week, with Patriots owner Robert Kraft in a radio interview finally admitting he outright fired Bill Belichick; the only thing “mutual” about it was the portfolio funds involved in any settlement. Then Christian Barmore’s traffic run-in with the Providence, R.I.police.
And then there’s The Drake and his supposedly wounded knee. Gee, a lot for a 1-5 team don’t you think?
“Yeah, I’m feeling good,” he said Friday when asked about it. “These last two days I felt good out there at practice. … Yeah, I think injuries are something you really try to share with the media.”
Maye is starting to learn, as his his coach, Jerod Mayo. But these Patriots are woefully undermanned with a lot of holes, lack of depth, and are starting to compound things with turnovers, penalties, etc.
So maybe this trip is a nice distraction?
Maye was asked why the Brits should support the Patriots.
“First of, I think it comes from the team name, New England,” he said. “I think it’s easy for U.K. Fans to be attracted to that. Our colors are pretty sweet, they represent a lot of different things. From there, just kind of the excitement for the team. I think we’re on-the-come-up , and we’ve got a lot of things to look forward to, a lot of bright futures ahead.”
In any event, unlike the Patriots, we bounced back with a strong week six and are hoping to keep it going, while we have our coffee, not tea:
JACKSONVILLE 23, PATRIOTS 21
Going by the law of averages plus the fact the Jags have been in London now for well over a week, having played last Sunday there as well. Trevor Lawrence is simply too talented to play like this, although this is a winnable game for the Patriots. Let’s put it this way: If the Jags do lose, head coach Doug Pederson may have to swim home.
JETS 20, STEELERS 17
All we needed to hear was that Russell Wilson will likely be the Steelers starting QB. Aaron Rodgers now has his binkie Davante Adams in the Jets fold and that could make a difference.
COLTS 13, DOLPHINS 10
Sad what’s happened to Miami, because they would’ve added to the AFC East drama instead of being an also-ran after Tua got hurt. We’re going with the Colts even though Anthony Richardson is back at QB.
LIONS 37, VIKINGS 30
Reality hits the Vikes, even though they’re home. Detroit is good, really good, and this is the type of game really good teams should win.
EAGLES 30, GIANTS 7
Some think the G-Men can win this one. Are they nuts? No Andrew Thomas on the offensive line means Daniel Jones will be running for his life and turn the ball over. Plus Eagles Saquon Barkely will be super motivated to beat the snot out of his former team. And he will do just that.
NINERS 27, CHIEFS 24
Brock Purdy’s Revenge. Well, sort of. San Francisco needs the win after their slow 3-3 start, while the Chiefs may be a little rusty coming off a bye. Just seems like this could be a loss on the road for Mahomes & Co.
BUCS 33, RAVENS 30
Wow, take the over in this one, which should be a great Monday Night game. Are Baker Mayweather and the Bucs able to beat likely the AFC’s second best team? They’re home and are averaging 30 points a game against a Baltimore defene that gives up at least 25. Home team edge.
LAST WEEK: 5-2
SEASON: 26-16
