The over/under for the game is right around 47 on most sites, and the over might be the smart bet, given New York’s defensive struggles this season. Both teams feature defensive coaches, but both units remain in the bottom half of the NFL in yards and points allowed.
OddsShark.com confirms the notion that the over might be a good bet, given that these two teams have combined for the over in their last five meetings. The total has gone over in 17 of New York’s last 22 road games and 16 of New England’s last 23 home games, on top of that.
