I don't see Mac Jones putting up enough points to win.


Pats will be a must win IMO

Temperature-wise, maybe.
But especially in the northeast near Christmas time, snow becomes increasingly likely. Much more likely there than the likes of PIT.
It also could be possible that with the records of the teams going into that game, it could get flexed into night game.

Their passing defense is 4th in the league.
They have the league leader in sacks, Matt Judon (13.0 already). Deatrich Wise has a respectable 6.5 too, and Josh Uche has 4.0.
Compare that to the Bengals, who only have 1 player with 4.0 or better - Hendrickson at 6.0.
So yes, they have a really, really good defense.
