Patriots vs. Lions Prediction: Drake Maye Poised to Shine

Segment Spotlight: Quick Hits From Outspoken With Dan Sileo

Patriots Picked to Send a Message Against the Lions

The Patriots have struggled with consistency this year, while the Lions have gained momentum and played better football over the past few weeks. Detroit has an offense capable of delivering, and its defense has improved since Brian Branch returned.

New England enters the game with several injuries on offense. Dobbs is expected to be out, AJ Brown is on the practice field, and Ramondre Stevenson will try to play through his injury. If the Patriots are reasonably healthy, they could beat the Lions and send a message.

Drake May has improved after a difficult start to the season and now looks capable of winning games as he did last year. The prediction is that May will have a big performance and lead New England to a victory.

In the Steelers-Bengals matchup, the Steelers are the pick coming off the bye, with Aaron Rodgers in a favorable spot. The prediction is a Steelers victory by a field goal.
