New England Patriots
Even one of the best defenses in the NFL proved to be no match for New England’s offense last Sunday. The Patriots went into Chicago and beat the Bears 38-31, putting up at least 38 points for the fourth straight game in the process.
That was without tight end Rob Gronkowski as well, who is expected to return this week against the Bills. New England is 19-5 SU over its last 24 home games.
The Patriots have historically dominated the Bills. Most recently, the Patriots are 6-0 SU in their last six games against Buffalo and 4-0 ATS in their last four per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Buffalo Bills
Over the course of Buffalo’s miserable 2-5 SU and 3-4 ATS season, a shocking 27-6 road win over Minnesota as 16.5-point underdogs sticks out like a sore thumb.
That win turned out to be an anomaly instead of a turning point to the season; since then, the Bills are just 1-3 SU and have averaged a paltry 7.75 points per game. Buffalo is 3-26 SU and 9-18-2 ATS in its last 29 games against New England.
Monday night’s total is set at 44 points. The UNDER is 5-0 in Buffalo’s last five games and 4-1 in New England’s last five games against division rivals.
With New England averaging 39.25 over its last four games and Buffalo averaging only 7.75, it’s difficult to make a compelling argument for the Bills in this one.
It gets even more difficult when you consider how thoroughly the Patriots have dominated this head-to-head series over the last 15 years. Contrarion bettors will likely hold their noses and take the points on the home team, but the majority of NFL bettors are going to have trouble passing up the Patriots in this spot.
