Allowing Brady time to read a defense is not a good thing if you're the Jags. In the end I like the Patriots to win, but not to cover.


What an exciting game…the Jags kept it close throughout and had some impressive (and very long) drives against an ageing Pats D. Both QB's played very well throughout, keeping their team in the game. In the end Brady played at a high level more consistently then Garrard. Also the tandem of RB's for Jax didn't gain enough yards on the ground to control the clock. Maroney had a great game and was an integral part in the Patriots win today. Luckily they didn't cover the spread :P
