NFL FREE PICK: New England is 5-0 ATS L5 in series. The Patriots were extremely impressive last week, dominating Tennessee on the road, 34-13. They take on an Arizona team that is also off a nice win, defeating Seattle at home, by 4. However, QB John Skelton (ankle) was injured meaning injury-prone backup Kevin Kolb will start this week. The Pats defense looked stronger last week, allowing just 13 points, led by LB Jerrod Mayo’s 13 tackles and rookie DE Chandler Jones, who had five tackles and a sack. Expect the Pats to dominate the Cardinals, who will be not be facing a rookie quarterback this week. Pats also now have a running game led by Stevan Ridley, who rushed for 125 yards last week.
