Every time the Patriots are written off, they find a way. Consider New England remains in the AFC playoff race. Wins do not come easy. The Patriots’ offense is not an NFL betting asset. Instead, defense and special teams are picking up the slack. A wild card berth is still within reach for Bill Belichick and crew. First place in the NFC West belongs to the Rams. Los Angeles is a much more complete team than New England. Coach John McVay and quarterback Jared Goff are on a redemption tour. Following a 2019 season in which the playoffs were missed.
