I'm 99% sure Brady plays. Bill likes to mess with the other team anyway he can.

I think the Pats win and I don't think the game will be that close unless Brady can't throw at all.

I think the Eagles win in a defensive battle. Something like 20-13 or 17-10. I'm actually going to bet on the total score over/under.

Bet the Pats wish they still had Jimmy G...... what a dumb move trading him 1/2 way through the season. His value would not have been any less after the season ends.

Yep, Brady is always on that injured list but I don't think he's ever listed as "questionable" for games? I'm sure he'll start but I am concerned about his hand that he might only be 75%.

I don't think the Patriots can list Brady as "questionable" if he has zero injury just to fool the other team.

I think Brady is "sandbagging" as the guys in the bowling alley would say....

I think Brady would be better served practicing with his team rather than sitting back, especially after having a bye week. Makes no sense for Brady to intentionally sit on the sidelines if he's 100%. It's not like Brady needs this ruse in order to have a chance to win on Sunday.

Dru, I don't think missing a week of practice means anything to someone at his level. If anything he'd come into the game "fresher."

I just don't see any advantage in Brady "sandbagging". It's not like the Jags are confused about who is going to play and busily preparing for Brian Hoyer. I'm inclined to believe that if he's sitting out practice, there's a problem.

The Pats will start off jamming the line and daring the Jags to throw...big mistake. The Jags have some top of the line receivers. The running game will surprise Belichuckie

Gronk will be needed to block more than usual...Tom terrific will be forced to run for his life on those 40+ yr old wheels. Nole Dog will light it up doing some Avett Bros

Just read that the issue with Brady's hand is that he was cut.

WEEI Boston sports talk show had that story a few days ago.... Ran into a player (Pats) during practice.

Love your take bro, hope your right!

I heard the story about running into the player but didn't realize he had cut his hand.

Really? I thought the cut was just broke today. I mean they asked Brady at the presser what happened over and over.

Just saw on ESPN that the cut required stitches. Hopefully it's not in a position to open up with the throwing motion.

Yep, there will be extra 'hand swatting' today. Kickoff just 2 hours away! I'll supply the whiskey if you supply the wings
