    That seems to be what they're saying. Have heard they're a top 10 run d w wilfork, dead last without historically.

    Wilfork, hands down, is the best player at his position in the league. This may sound crazy but outside of losing Brady this is the most significant injury the Patriots could have. Can't replace him so it will be very interesting to see them move forward. Remember, teams playing N.E. with good running games will spend more time on the field, which ultimately gives Brady and his offense less time. Nobody in the league has had a impact on an opponents running game as Wilfork, pain in the ass to block, and one of the most heady leaders on his side of the ball. As a fan of the Fish, won't bother me in the least to not see him in the lineup this year.

    The man is right. It is impossible to replace Wilfork and it is a major loss to this team that some people will overlook. With that said, I am from mass and a big pats fan so I am 100% biased, but I really like the pats to still win outright this weekend. Our recievers (without Danny and Gronk) are starting to click and I think we can put up enough points to get the W here. Pats 5-0 come Sunday.

    I was a bit surprised at this line as well. Didn't Cincinnati just lose to the Browns? ( I know the Browns are playing really well right now but lets not get too carried away here).

    These two teams actually match up pretty well against each other with an edge to New England's running game. With Pats key players out, Cincinnati gets the lean with home field advantage.

    The return of Amendola may put an interesting twist on this game. Looks like he is good to go.

    Regarding Gronk, they are in no hurry to get him back on the field. After all, they haven't lost a game yet. Why rush things?

    Oddsmakers have this one wrong.

    Patriots homer, but not my favorite team. Watch them everyweek.

    WIlfork is a big loss but they have the linebackers and the depth to step up and fill in. believe me. they are playing amazing football right now and when they get amendola and gronk back they will be scary good.......
