Patriots: 4 Bold Predictions For Week 9 Game Vs. Commanders

The New England Patriots will go against the Washington Commanders in Week 9 and this game is special for so many reasons. First, the Patriots have to win this one as they have just two wins in the column. Second, they are playing against a team that has been associated with head coach Bill Belichick for quite some time. Washington hasn’t made an official statement about this, but this rumor gets louder every day.

Will the Patriots be able to beat Washington?

Here are four predictions for the Week 9 game:

Mac Jones throws for 250-plus yards, two scores and no interceptions

Jones struggled early in the season but he seems to have found the way to success. His interceptions are still an issue, but he was great against the Buffalo Bills. The Commanders struggle to win games this season and Jones can take advantage of this. Washington ranks 29^th in passing yards allowed and have allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL. Jones has to show his true dominance and launch a touchdown pass against the weak Washington defense.

JuJu Smith-Schuster records at least 80 receiving yards in Patriots vs Commanders

If Jones manages to stay dominant throughout the game, his teammates will have a good game as well. Smith-Schuster didn’t perform well in the first half of the season and has just 15 receptions for 89 yards. Kendrick Bourne and DeVante Parker are out for the game which gives Smith-Schuster a chance to dominate.

Christian Barmore records several sacks

Records show that Washington has given up the most sacks this season. Barmore can step in and destroy the Commanders with a few sacks. He had a sack in the last two games and also had 12 run stops in the last three games of the regular season.

The Patriots have a real chance to win their third game of the season. They are facing a weak opponent and now is the perfect time to win.
