Patriots have won their last 13 overall in December and 21 straight at home in the month. QB Tom Brady has thrown 29 TD passes vs. four INTs this season, with only one INT during a seven-game win streak. Brady needs 167 passing yards for his fifth 4,000-yard season. RB Stevan Ridley has a rushing TD in six straight games. 49ers can win the NFC West with a win following a Seattle loss at Buffalo. QB Colin Kaepernick is 3-1 as a starter, completing 67.4 percent of his passes and averaging 8.3 yards per attempt. The game marks a homecoming for Randy Moss, who had 259 catches and scored 50 TDs with Patriots from 2007-10.

My Prediction: Patriots 31-17, My Bet Patriots -5 1/2
With a better secondary, the 49ers present a bigger challenge than the Texans did last week, but Brady and Patriots seem to be peaking now.
