Patriots game picks: Can New England enter the bye with a win?
Briefly

"The list of winnable games continues to shorten for Jerod Mayo's 3-9 Patriots. No first-and-10 is safe for Drake Maye, who faces constant pressure. The offensive line is struggling with penalties, and defense looks shaky. The Colts at 5-7 pose a challenge with Anthony Richardson as a wild card, since he can both pass and run effectively. The game seems pivotal for New England's playoff hopes."
"The Colts are potentially the last winnable game for the Patriots this season. New England's defense might benefit from fewer offensive complexities, but the question of stopping Anthony Richardson and Jonathan Taylor looms large. Both teams have similarly erratic performances, making this matchup crucial for the Patriots to gain momentum going into their bye week."
