New England has won three straight, over the Bills, Raiders, and Jets, and Drake Maye has thrown at least three touchdown passes in each. The Bills' road win came on a game-winning drive. Both clubs are 4-2, and both played Sunday. Chicago beat Atlanta 31-23 on the road with Caleb Williams back from a three-game absence, completing 30 of 36 passes for 305 yards. The Bears led 31-7 with under ten minutes left. Then the Falcons scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, and Chicago needed a strip-sack to close it out. That defense let a 24-point lead shrink to eight. New England is thin up front. Guards Alijah Vera-Tucker and Ben Brown are out; Walter Rouse and Matt Pryor start in their place, and cornerback Carlton Davis III is also out. Last Sunday the Patriots lost three offensive linemen to injury against the Jets and still won 26-19, with Maye throwing three touchdowns and no interceptions. I'm on New England with the points tonight.
