It’s not surprising that Sunday Night Football has a Super Bowl feel considering all the hardware shared between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, who butt heads for the first time ever when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers visit the New England Patriots in Week 4.
The NFL betting odds for Bucs at Patriots have seen some huge movements heading into the primetime finale for Sunday. Here’s a closer look at the spread, total and consensus picks for Tampa Bay at New England.
Buccaneers vs Patriots Consensus
Spread Consensus
The point spread for Buccaneers at Patriots opened at Bucs -5.5 last Sunday night and that line didn’t last long, quickly moving to -6 and -6.5 by Monday afternoon. From there, continuous action on the road team pushed this spread to Tampa Bay -7 for most of the week.
However, with some injuries on both sides of the ball for the Buccaneers – TE Rob Gronkowski out and CB Carlton Davis questionable – this spread is ticking down to New England +6.5 as of Sunday morning.
The bulk of the Covers Consensus picks on this game – derived from an educated and experienced community of savvy sports bettors - were made at -6.5 and 77 percent of selections are laying the points with Tampa Bay.
Over/Under Consensus
The total for the Sunday nighter hasn’t seen as much movement as the spread, opening as high as 49.5 points and trimming to 49 points at most sportsbooks.
