Packers vs. Patriots Game Thread: Week 9, 2026

Give me the Patriots, and I'm not whispering it from my recliner. New England is 3-0 at home, sitting at +22 on points, and Drake Maye has a 100.4 passer rating against Green Bay's 92.4 for Jordan Love. Green Bay is 2-2 away from Lambeau and just coughed one up at Detroit, 20-17, so I'm not buying a road breakthrough. Both teams are 5-3 and both get roasted equally, but Gillette is where the Pats keep winning, and the Pack better tackle or I'm throwing a remote.

I picked the Patriots, I was dead wrong, and the Packers hung 45 to 27 on them at Gillette while my recliner looked away in shame. New England got run over for 129 yards and only managed 94 of their own, and if you can't stop the run, you can't win. Green Bay is 6-3 and rolling, and the Pats at 5-4 better find some tackling before Detroit or I'm throwing another remote.
