The New England Patriots are hopeful Sunday’s road trip to Frankfurt ends in them securing their third win of the 2023 season. Of course, the Indianapolis Colts will have something to say about it when the two teams collide in Germany.
Tanking is a myth that outsiders love to babble about midseason, but the reality is the Bill Belichick-coached Patriots will come out swinging in this matchup. Whether that actually leads to a victory or not remains to be seen.
The Colts are the more talented football team on paper, but they are also flawed enough for the Patriots to pull off a much-needed upset. Granted, the same could have been said about New England at home in Week 9, when they dropped an ugly 20-17 loss to the Washington Commanders.
Meanwhile, the Colts just put an end to a three-game losing streak by defeating the lowly Carolina Panthers last week. Will they win a second straight against the Patriots?
Here’s the full round-up of Patriots Wire staff picks for the Week 10 matchup:
Jordy McElroy (4-5) – Patriots 28, Colts 24
Danny Jaillet (8-1) – Patriots 13, Colts 17
Cam Garrity (4-5) – Patriots 21, Colts 24
Michael Braithwaite (3-6) – Patriots 16, Colts 21
Who are you taking in Sunday’s game? Can the Patriots work some magic on the international stage and come away with an upset victory? Or, will they lose their eighth game of the season and move up the 2024 NFL draft board?
