"The Coach's" 3-Game All Early NFL Report - 3-0 S-W-E-E-P?!
(NFL) Washington vs. New England,
Total: 52.00 | -107.00 Under
Result: Loss
*8* play on OVER Skins/Pats.

The New England Patriots haven't shown any signs of slowing down, coming off a 36-7 win over the Dolphins last Thursday. They are actually looking better as the season progresses, and I just don't think the bookmakers can set the line high enough for this Sunday's game against the lowly Washington Redskins. My money is on the over in a game that's destined to be a blowout.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. New England's Offense - The Pats are firing on all cylinders, and this unit is running like a well oiled machine. It's so much more than just Brady to Gronkowski (who can't be stopped). They have the running game going as well, with LaGarette Blount and Dion Lewis, and Brandon LaFell is back and healthy with four catches for 47 yards against the Dolphins.

2. Kirk Cousins - After throwing for 317 yards and three TDs in a come from behind win over the Bucs, Cousins puffed out his chest and acted like he won the Super Bowl. Reality Check.... it was the Bucs. The fact remains that he comes into this week's game with as many INTs (27) as TDs in his career.

3. X-Factor - The Patriots tend to score plenty of points at home, with the total going over in 37 of their last 54 at Foxboro, and they've covered the spread in four of their last five at home.

Selection: This is a play on the Skins@Pats to go OVER the total (8*)
