Jeremy Cluff writes: “Drake Maye and the Patriots have won two straight, including an impressive win over the Buffalo Bills in NFL Week 5. Can Spencer Rattler and the Saints upset New England? Not if Maye continues to play mistake-free football (22-for-30, 273 yards vs. Bills).”

Bill Speros writes: “Drake Maye could hit 300 passing yards for the first time in his career this week inside Caesars Superdome against the ‘Aints. Both teams scored upset wins on Sunday. But New England’s victory over the Bills in Orchard Park was the most-substantial win for the franchise since Super Bowl 53.”

Sportsnaut: New England Patriots 27, New Orleans Saints 17
Matt Johnson writes: “The New England Patriots defense alone should help them avoid falling into the same trap that New York did against the New Orleans Saints. New England’s secondary is now healthy and should be able to limit Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, even if this young Saints’ offensive line holds up fairly well in pass protection. While it will be a competitive game, the Patriots’ defense and the play-making ability of quarterback Drake Maye, with the help of a true go-to receiver in Stefon Diggs, should propel New England to the victory.”
