NFL Week 11 2022: 3 teams on upset alert for this Sunday

1. NFL Teams That Should Be On Upset Alert In Week 11 – New England Patriots

Things have rebounded nicely for New England after their embarrassing home loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 7. Wins over the New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts put the Patriots at 5-4 entering their bye, which put them in position to enter the final Wild Card slot with the Los Angeles Chargers’ loss in Week 10.

It is still difficult to get a proper read on New England’s potential since Mac Jones has regressed from his rookie year and their outside receivers haven’t made a ton of plays. A strong running game and solid defense will keep the Patriots in every game, but they need a lot to go right to make the postseason against a tough second-half schedule.

The Patriots get the Jets again coming off their bye weeks and are favored by three points in a rematch of their Week 8 game. There is reason for concern here since New England won the game thanks in large part to three boneheaded interceptions from Zach Wilson, who played much smarter football in New York’s upset over the Buffalo Bills in Week 9.

The overall roster that the Jets have is more talented, and they will be highly motivated to return the favor to New England and snap a 13-game losing streak against their bitter rivals. Bill Belichick will need to use every trick in his book to avoid an upset that could severely hamper their playoff hopes in a crowded AFC field.
