New England's Game Plan: Relying on Rhamondre Stevenson

00:00Let's start with New England. We know that's been the offensive game plan. Make Jacoby Brousset play clean football, take the ball out of his hands, and feed Ramondre Stevenson. Does that happen for a third straight week to start this year for the Pats?
00:16I think so. Like you said, this is their game plan, and this is going to be their game plan every week, even if they bring in Drake May. This is still going to be their game plan. Limit the quarterback exposure to limit his chances to make mistakes. They also don't have a very talented receiving core.
00:32Ramondre is the guy to trust, so I like him specifically over 16 1⁄2 attempts tonight, sitting at plus one on two. They have a 57.6 rush play percentage. That's a fifth-highest they'll need. It's good for 37 1⁄2 attempts per game. He has 25 and 21 over the first two weeks.
00:46The line at 16 1⁄2, I think, seems low because it's working with the game script. They're underdogs. They probably shouldn't be in a spot to run the ball too often, but ultimately, when they get the ball, they're going to be running it. Stick with Ramondre. He's super consistent. Over 16 1⁄2, there's also a game special for him to rush for 25 plus in both halves. I think he's at plus 120. I think that seems pretty solid. We're not looking for too much there.
01:16We're not looking for too much there.
