The Jags are very confident. One player was quoted as saying something to the effect of "if we go in there and win", meaning they think they can win. But let's not forget that they play in Flordia, and the cold New England weather will certainly be a factor, as it was with Miami last Sunday.
Also, Belichick's always had a good scheme for opposing young quarterbacks. I don't think this will be any different here. Wheter or not New England can cover the 7 rests on one question: "How badly do the Pats want this game?"

Just my homer opinion,but I have seen teams on the rise like Jack, win a couple of games, get full of themselves and then shit to bed....they beat Tampa a team on the way down, shut out Houston a team at about their level now they go to frozen foxboro to face a team that hasn't given up a TD in the last 4 games at home.This has not happend in 50 years in the NFL....Look for the Pats D to score 7 points themselves...Pats want to get their O going Troy Brown returns.
Great Game...Tough Capping. Teams that cover on the road usually have about several areas in their favour against their opponent, ATS/As A Dog, Last Five, & the favourable situation the spread presents (favoured last week and now 7 point dogs) Jags qualify In all these areas but the Patriots qualify in everyone as well except the spread as it does not favour them going from about3 or four point favourites last week to now 7. These factors make this game incredibly tough to cap but I think the main question here is whether or not the Patriots care enough about this game to score. This is why I suspect this game will play out just like last week snoozer. Neither offense will be potent, the turn overs will have to get the job done as far as the Pats covering and I think that is exactly what will happen. Warm front meets cold front for Jags and that is unacceptable for me. I would lay the 7.
Weather tommorrow will be snowing starting around game time. Expecting 3-6+ inches with wind gusts of up to 35mph. last week two good defenses(1from Florida) no offensive touchdowns. This week two good defenses(1 from Florida) Deja vu baby. I'll be taking the under as I see a very similar game.
Look for New England's D to roll a rookie QB in this game. I cannot see, especially in bad weather, that Byron can make the plays needed to beat this secondary in third and long situations.
Although Byron played in the MAC and in the cold, just too many factors stacked against him. Too many people pounding the Jags.
I agree that Brady has a horseshoe in his ass. This team is damn lucky, but they are also damn good.
NE - 7
