PATRIOTS @ BALTIMORE - CLICK HERE to SEE GAME FORECAST
Last week New England was involved in a thriller with Philadelphia facing perhaps its stiffest challenge all season. Don’t expect that to happen again Monday night against the Ravens. The Patriots have already clinched their division and are steamrolling towards history and a potential undefeated season.

New England has not visited Baltimore in over a decade, but that long absence likely will not make them take it easy on the hosts. The Patriots are winning nearly 95% of simulations by a huge 21 point average margin. The Ravens have been an abject disaster losing six straight, and they look to provide little resistance on Monday.

Tom Brady is projected to throw for over 340 yards and 3 touchdowns. Randy Moss should continue to be his main target as the wideout is averaging 110 yards and 1 touchdown per simulation. New England should be able to move the ball with ease on Monday night especially through the air.

Baltimore’s one strength appears to be its run defense as it ranks third in the NFL giving up under 78 yards per game. Too bad for the Ravens the Patriots having been passing on nearly every down all season negating the one area where the home team has a solid advantage. Kyle Boller is forecasted for a decent game with 210 yards and 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Willis McGahee is third in the league in rushing, and it would seem to make sense to give him more carries considering he is clearly Baltimore’s best offensive weapon. Running the ball would keep the Patriots offense off the field and give the Ravens a chance to score some points. McGahee is projected to get just 18 rushes however for just 64 yards.
