I jumped on this line earlier this week when the Patriots opened at -2.5 on Sunday and it was still hanging around Monday.
The Texans are definitely the best defense that the Patriots have played this season, but I’ll still trust Drake Maye’s squad here.
New England’s offense is humming, putting up seven yards per play in its last three games, while its defense has also played superbly, giving up just 3.9 yards per play (fourth-best).
My model has the Patriots favored here pretty big, with a projected score of 22.74-16.57.
This is a spot to take the favorite at home in what we’re expecting to be some crummy conditions that could include rain and sleet.
