Colts vs. Patriots Prediction:
The Patriots seem to be teetering on the edge, about to implode. The team has many issues, but chief among them is the quarterback, Mac Jones. Jones has a total QBR of 40.3 this season, which ranks 24th in the league. Some quarterbacks with a better total QBR than Mac Jones this season: Russell Wilson, Jordan Love, Sam Howell, Derek Carr, Josh Dobbs, and Baker Mayfield. Mac Jones is tied for the NFL lead with 9 interceptions thrown this season. It has been a bad showing by him this year.
The Colts offense averages 25.8 points per game, which ranks 7th in the NFL. On defense, Indy’s ability to stop the pass is underrated. The Colts rank 10th in opponent average passer rating and 10th in opponent interception percentage this year. In a game that could ultimately lead to Bill Belichick’s ouster in New England, I like Indianapolis to win and cover the small spread in Germany on Sunday morning.
