The New England Patriots wrap up their stay on the west coast this afternoon when they take on the Oakland Raiders at the Oakland Coliseum. After last week’s nail biter of a win, we can only hope things are easier against the hapless Raiders.
The Patriots are in must win-out mode and then hope to get some help. Even though they are tied at the top of the AFC East with the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, they don’t have the tie breakers. So if they win out and get some help along the way, we could see the Patriots back in the playoffs again, which in itself would be a great story considering the massive amount of injuries the Patriots have suffered this year.
