New England Patriots: The 3 games to watch this season
By Sam Minton
Week 2 at Jacksonville
The New England Patriots have a rematch of the AFC championship in their second game of the season. It was a close game last season and I expect more of the same in 2018.

The Patriots have dominated the Jaguars overall as they have yet to lose to them, but Jacksonville is an up and coming team. Blake Bortles is coming off one of the best seasons of his career and Leonard Fournette, and T.J. Yeldon have proven to be a dangerous duo in the backfield.
Also the Jaguars defense is one of the best in the league. They are able to completely take over a game.
The Jaguars are going to be a good team so I wouldn’t expect a blowout from the Patriots. Just like last year this will be a close game but I think that the Patriots will continue to be the ones on top and will defeat the Jaguars 24-21.
