Pats never cover on non-primetime games vs div. foes

I think Blount has a game like he. Did vs the Colts last year in the playoffs.....

N.E. wants that home field advantage through out and should cover here easily.

its that time of year to say bye bye to the pretenders..Pats !

OK so im a HUGE BRONCOS fan, and id LOVE to see the PATS go DOWN so the BRONCOS get home field advantage.. BUT we all know thats NOT going to happen.. LAY THE POINTS THE PATS WIN BY AT LEAST 2 TOUCHDOWNS...

There's no way in hell Miami beats the Pats this time, payback will be sweet. Pat's aren't even at their best yet, can't wait to see them at their best. Statement game!!!! 

A statement game would have been a win over Green Bay.  A win this week should just be expected.

Damn near came back and beat the Packers but floundered late to lose, bounced back and handled SD, now back at home going to go nuts on MIAMI 

New England / Miami Analysis (not my own)   

"NEW ENGLAND 31 - Miami 13—Payback time for the Pats, who were outscored 23-0 in the second half of their season opener in Florida after building a 20-10 lead.  For the game, the Miami defense had 4 sacks, 12 QB hits/hurries, and 2 QB fumble recoveries.  The Dolphins still had now-injured RB Knowshon Moreno (134 YR that game), while the Pats have since added LeGarrette Blount. Moreover, WR Brandon LaFell (57 recs.), then in his first game with N.E., is now
a well-established Brady target."

While true the Dolphins can back donor cover this one , it is a big disadvantage playing in the cold at Gillette stadium being a warm weathered team . Revenge factor kicks.in along with playoff seedings , the pats are heading into the right direction while miami is just trying to get by , if the patriots run game continues to improve this won't even be close 34-20 patriots  

I have N.E. - 7.5 as my top play.

Hope that 1/2 don't bite me in the behind, but I think they cover easy.

 

last two games NE faced Miami at home, they beat em by 10+. I am not even slightly worried. 

Acting upon hypotheticals, like an extra 5 minutes, is totally invalid.  Fact is: Belichick and Brady had the ball with 7+ minutes and wasted valuable time with poor decisions and time management, and as a result the better team won that day.

Getting back to this game: Miami has won the last 2 match-ups and played NE well in the last three games, covering the last 2 seasons.  Weather is going to be in the low 40's with no precipitation and Miami played just fine in similar weather at Denver and NY/NJ in the last two weeks. I look for a good 2nd half play if NE is down at half or the game is tied, but saying this is going to be an easy cake-walk for NE is foolish, IMO.

Everyone here on Pats. Too many easy cover comments. Guess what that usually means. Miami covers

Pats defense will score more TD's than Miami's offense today.

I'll go with the Pats. Revis and Browner show today

Patriots -8.5.

when it comes to playoff time and wrapping up divisions, I don't think public sentiment is that big of a deal.   the line keeps getting bigger.  that tells me that the public is on NE and the sharps are going against it, or maybe they are on NE as well...

NE -7.5
