Green Bay Packers at New England Patriots
When: Sunday, November 4, 8:20 p.m. ET
Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Massachusetts
Betting Line / Total: New England -5 / 56.5 Points
New England Patriots
The Patriots’ 1-2 SU and ATS start to the season continues to fade into distant memory as the team keeps on rolling. New England has averaged 36.4 points per game on offense and has won by an average margin of victory of 14.8 points per game over the team’s current five-game winning streak.
The defending AFC champions are running away with the AFC East as they always do and are in control of their destiny towards earning a playoff bye over the second half of the regular season.
In New England’s last 11 games at home, the Patriots are 11-0 SU and 9-2 ATS per the OddsShark NFL Database. New England is 7-0 SU and ATS in its last seven home games against teams with losing records.
Green Bay Packers
Green Bay came close to pulling off an upset over the undefeated Los Angeles Rams last Sunday, but a late kick return fumble by Ty Montgomery deprived Aaron Rodgers of the chance to try to lead the team to victory in the 29-27 loss.
Montgomery is no longer a part of the team as he and safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix were both shipped out at the trade deadline. With a 3-3-1 SU and 3-4 ATS record on the season, these moves seem to indicate that management does not believe the Packers will contend for the Super Bowl this season.
Sunday night’s total is set at 56.5 points. The UNDER is 4-1 in the last five games between Green Bay and New England.
The Packers are 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS in their last five games on the road, and they are facing arguably the league’s best home team this Sunday night. The chance to see Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady should excite football fans and bettors, but there is no question that the supporting cast and the odds are stacked in Brady’s favor.
