Also, we might see Fat Albert for the first time. Rumors that he'll play 10 snaps or so, but of course only Belichick knows. If Haynesfork is unleashed for the first time, the Lions wont be able to run the ball. I think the opportunistic D will be able to force an early turnover on Stafford and set Brady up with great field position.
Finally, Brady said he has to make quicker reads and get the ball to his receivers faster than he did last week. I don't expect the Lions D to be able to completely stop this offense, especially if KVB doesn't play.
I like 1Q and 1H over, with a small lean on Pats 1Q and 1H
