Keys to the game:
This game should be a lock for the Silverbacks but the team is still
working hard to find consistency with a rookie laden squad. London will
continue to bring pressure with their defence which had more than 15 sacks
and hurries in their last meeting while the offence will control the tempo
with a stellar balanced attack. Special teams have improved greatly since
their mistake-riddled performance two weeks ago and are now a major threat
to opponents.
The Patriots can never been overlooked with their impressive coaching
staff lead by former NY Giants (NFL) Andre Weathers and Mark Ingram. These
coaches always find a way to maximise the ability of their young roster
who continue playing hard with a lot of pride.
