I think the fact that they somehow managed to win that game gives the Patriots some added line value. I'm basically looking at it as the Patriots off a bye, at home, against a team making a second consecutive roadie up north.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Miami kept it to single digits, but I strongly feel that this game has blowout written all over it.
I think he makes valid points and so do you.
I do think it's a bad situational spot for MIA....
BUT at the same time, it may be a bad spot for NE as well.
I say this because I remember when SD/NO went to London they both layed HUGE eggs the week back following the bye.
Now, it's hard to say if NE will will suffer the same effects because the NO/SD game was hard fought but NE somewhat easily handled the sorry Bucs.
I'm still not sure about this game. I do feel like the Over is a decent play.
I was looking at the team totals and MIA at 17 and NE at 27.5 seem good considering the total is 47, I think both are low.
MIA Ov. 17 is appealing considering they put up at least 30 points in four straight games against solid D's including playing terribly last week.
Good thread btw
