Drake Maye and the New England Patriots are on the rise, and wide receiver Stefon Diggs has played an important role on offense for head coach Mike Vrabel. Diggs may no longer be the superstar he once was, but there’s no denying that the four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver still brings a lot to the table for the Pats.

The Patriots have endured injury issues at safety in recent weeks with Jaylinn Hawkins missing two games and rookie Craig Woodson being banged up this week. They still have Dell Pettus and special teams player Brenden Schooler as depth options. The team also signed veteran defensive back Richie Grant in free agency.

The New England Patriots are riding a four-game winning streak heading into their Week 8 matchup at Gillette Stadium against the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland’s defense has been its calling card, and my Browns vs. Patriots predictions play a massive role in my early spread and game total leans.
