Packers at Patriots

Packers Visit Patriots in Week 9 Battle of 5-3 Teams

Both teams are 5-3 and coming off wins. Green Bay averages 21.4 points per game and allows 20.5, while New England averages 23 and allows 20.3. The Packers sit 4th in the NFC North, the Patriots 2nd in the AFC East, and our model gives New England a 66% win chance.

Keys to the game

• Green Bay will be without center Sean Rhyan and guard Travis Glover, both out with ankle and knee injuries.
• Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis III and receiver A.J. Brown are questionable, which could affect coverage and the passing game.
• The Packers allow 20.5 points per game and the Patriots allow 20.3, so points could be hard to come by.
• Mostly sunny skies, 58 degrees and 5 mph wind should provide mild conditions.
