It’s simple to presume the New England Patriots are a favorite week but heading into Week 2 vs the Miami Dolphins, Odds Shark is tracking a spread that we haven’t seen??for the Pats since the 2011 period that is regular. It’s the spread for almost any NFL game because 2013.
The Patriots are??currently -19-point favorites in BetOnline to beat the Dolphins after launching as 14.5-point faves??with 67% of their cash currently coming back on the Pats.
This is New England’s biggest disperse as a favorite since 2011 when it??shut as 20-point chalk vs the Colts and it’s??the Pats’??biggest spread as a fave for a street game in Odds Shark’s database when they had been 19-point faves at 2007 versus the Ravens.??
To put that in view of how large a spread that is 3 matches have experienced spreads of 18 points or more since the Beginning of the 2010 year:
Not my style to answer a question with a question but did you really see??the Patriots and Dolphins play in Week 1? They seem like teams since the Pats beat against the Pittsburgh Steelers moving in entirely opposite directions and the Dolphins dropped by 49 in their home field to the Baltimore Ravens.
The Patriots’ offense didn’t miss a beat in Week 1 and is expected to get a huge boost with WR Antonio Brown coming into town. New England’s defense looked incredible by shutting Pittsburgh down to only three points.
Miami appeared like a 52-man dumpster fire and oddsmakers are hanging around the idea that the Dolphins could go 0-16 SU at 2019.
The one glaring fact which seems to be glossed over is how the Patriots have fared in the last several years in Miami. New England belongs to Miami every season and since 2013, the Pats have been 1-5 SU and ATS in six games at South Beach (popping eye emoji!) .
In four matches in Miami since 2016, the Patriots were favored by a touchdown or even more with just one SU and ATS win to show for it (35-14 win as 7.5-point faves on January 1, 2017).
I’m not ready to say that New England lose and will go into Miami. That would be absurd. What I am stating is that expecting the Patriots to pay this large of a spread hasn’t been a rewarding undertaking.
They’ve been a fave of 18 points or even five occasions from the Brady-Belichick age and while they’ve won each game, the simple fact remains that they failed to pay the spread every time.
See for yourself
Now, it’s worth noting that four of those games, in which the Patriots were large faves, was during their historic 2007 year when they finished 16-0 and demolished all their league (before the Super Bowl, naturally ). But it has merit when we’re referencing spreads that are historic that are larger.??
