What do the New England Patriots need to jumpstart their season? | New England Patriots

The New England Patriots return home to Foxborough, MA after opening with two weeks on the road as they face the Oakland Raiders in Week 3 of the regular season this Sunday. After losing the opener at Miami in the season opener, the Patriots rebounded with a 30-7 victory last week at Minnesota. New England will attempt to get over the .500 mark this week with a win against the 0-2 Raiders.



While the Patriots talk about the matchup being challenging the facts speak for themselves:



The Raiders have given up 400 yards rushing combined in just two games;

Las Vegas has the Patriots as a 14-point favorite;

Oakland got wiped out at home last week by a team that lost 14 games last season;

and the Raiders have lost 14 consecutive games on the East Coast.
