"Straight" line is -7. Can it be that the Patriots are actually becoming undervalued? This line would have 10ish before last week when Brady got zero help for his young receivers, to the point of forcing passes to Edelman toward the end. Remember that was a Thursday game though, so Bill Belichick with about three extra days of preparation does not sound like a bad thing. Lost in all this is that the Patriots defense has actually looked good, and should have no trouble with a struggling Tampa Bay offense. The Bucs have been good on defense, but with the extra prep time I look for Pats to score enough to win by at least a touchdown.
