Pats have homefield advantage and first round bye, but they will still play their starters in the first half.

This team has an average win of about 20.5 points per game. Now they are playing Miami, one of the worse teams in the league?

Pats should easily cover 13.5 in the first half.

I'm not sure what will happen in the second half in terms of starters playing, or the team's motivation to blast Miami which isn't necessary. I prefer betting the first half when the Pats offense will be firing on all cylinders.
