NFL Week 11 Predictions: Will Drake Maye and the Patriots Change Their Fortunes?

As the NFL season rolls into Week 11, the excitement escalates with the intriguing matchup of the New England Patriots led by Drake Maye. Known for his resilience and raw talent, Maye has garnered attention as the “dirt poor man’s Josh Allen.” After struggling for much of the season, the Patriots hope to rise from the depths of their recent dismal performance. Will they turn things around this week?

Last week, the Patriots opted for veteran Jacoby Brissett, but the decision backfired, as he struggled against pressure, ranking poorly in various efficiency metrics. In contrast, Maye has demonstrated significantly better numbers, including a sixth-place ranking in expected points added per dropback. While the Patriots clinched two victories in their last three outings, many speculate they might be better off with Maye under center.
