New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos Preview
The New England Patriots will still go into this game as the favourites on the moneyline, but their early season form to this point hasn’t been as dominant as many would have been hoping for. They have received a boost this week, as it has been revealed that there is expectancy that Cam Newton will be re-signing with the Pats, with an official announcement expecting very soon. The Patriots currently have a record of 2-2, but there is currently no clear momentum in their favour.
They won their first game of the season against the Miami Dolphins, before they were beaten by the Seattle Seahawks in their following game. The Patriots got back to winning ways in their most recent home game against the Oakland Raiders, before they were humbled on the road by the Kansas City Chiefs. The reigning Super Bowl champions won that match 26-10.
Brian Hoyer scored 130 passing yards in the defeat, before he was replaced by Jarrett Stidham, who completed 60 passing yards. His arrival led to the only touchdown scored by the Patriots in the defeat, which was scored by N’Keal Harry. However, the Patriots impressive home form so far this season will mean that they will be a difficult nut to crack for the struggling Broncos.

However, they did get back to some kind of form in their last match in the NFL, as they were able to get a first win of the season against the New York Jets. The Broncos won on that occasion 37-28. Brett Rypien completed 242 passing yards in that win, while touchdowns were scored in the victory by Tim Patrick and Jerry Jeudy. Meanwhile, Melvin Gordon scored two touchdowns to cap an excellent performance.
