Fox, I initially liked the Pats, but does it bother you at all that the Pats are 2-2 against teams over .500? They beat Indy and Denver and lost to Seattle and Balt. This is without a doubt the best team and best D the Pats have faced, I feel like the Pats losing Gronk and Edelman could be big in a "playoff" game of this caliber
You really can't look at the losses to Baltimore and Seattle IMO. This Patriots team has come a long way since then both offensively and defensively. Plus the Pats have 3 losses by a combined 4 points. 4 Points away from being undefeated. They started playing well when they played St. Louis. If you look at their games side then, they have been dominant and have been fading 7+ point lines. A less than TD spread with New England at home is very favorable IMO. Just think an 11-1 team is getting 4-5 points for a reason. I think it should be New England -7/8. This team at home on Monday Night will be dominant. Just how I see it. Bol.
Also note those losses apart Seattle and Bmore were on the road. Is team is a totally different animal in foxboro. Trust me. Lay the points sir

Joseph is playing by the way. And Ball might be out but with Joseph back he wouldn't really play much anyway.
I agree that the Texans secondary has been shaky lately. But Joseph was a huge loss and they missed him dearly. And with Gronk most likely out that's one less weapon they'll have. I don't know if the pats will cover but I do think Houston will have success running the football and chewing up clock with long drives.
Don't know if Joseph playing changes your mind at all.
Good luck either way.

Regarding the line jumping to -5.5. I locked it in earlier in the week when it dropped to 4. In the future I'll give a heads up if I have a max bet with a home fav, a couple days in advance, to get the best line for ya guys. My bad.
I would wait to see if the 5.5 and 5 point lines get bought up, it's likely they will. Once it drops to 4.5/5, I'd buy it down to 4. A 4.5-5,5 line is not a good one to have. So if you don't want to buy it down to 4, it's your risk, although I don't see the Texans getting close to that.
Wait it out for a couple more hours tho. Line will hit 4.5 I think at some point today. Get it 4. BOL

NFLJoe. Yea saw that. He still won't be at 100%. And I'll gladly take a guy at 70% against the Patriots. He won't be him usual self, and may hurt them more than anything if he can't play up to his normal standards. We will see tho.
