New England Patriots @ Detroit Lions
One of my favorite bets over the years has been playing on the Pats after a loss/after playing like sh1t. In fact, one of my top systems in my database is the Patriots off a ‘terrible performance’:
| SU: | 28-3-0 (12.29, 90.3%) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ATS: | 26-4-1 (10.10, 86.7%) | |||||
If you want the parameters to this just pm me^. However, I’m going to go against this one this weekend as there are several reasons why I love the Lions tonight. Most people don’t know how injured the Patriots are right now on defense, and were quick to call their defensive unit poor after giving up 31 points to Jacksonville last weekend.
While the Pats linebackers are mostly healthy, they will be missing two of their biggest leaders in the secondary, as well as their top pass rusher in this game. Everyone knows the Lions aren’t a threat to run the ball, but they have a very strong passing game causing these injuries to be huge factors in this week’s match-up. And on offense, New England is really starting to miss Edelman who doesn’t return until week 5. Yes they brought in Gordon who will be great for them later, but no way does he make a huge impact in this game after being on the team for just 3 days as the Pats have the most complex playbook in the league. I expect the Lions to win this game, and for my Pats to lose 2 in a row.
- Lions +7 -115 (4x) +270 (1x)
