Khari Thompson: Patriots 28, Raiders 10. After a week of chasing around Josh Allen and James Cook, the Patriots defense will stifle a much less explosive Raiders team. Drake Maye continues to shake off his funk and gets a couple of explosive plays early that allows New England to play from ahead.
Conor Ryan: Patriots 24, Raiders 17. It’s not going to be flashy but the Patriots embrace the run game and Maye (for once) doesn’t try to do too much. It’ll be a good, clean win.
Hayden Bird: Raiders 27, Patriots 17. Early season turmoil resurfaces as the offensive line struggles to keep a clean pocket for Drake Maye and a shorthanded secondary is unable to stop the Raiders’ passing game.
