Best Bet

Patriots –3.5 @ $2.00

Bet Now

The Texans might be enjoying a lengthy winning streak, but the Patriots could be heading to the Super Bowl, and we’re not betting against them on Monday morning.

Drake Maye is a leading MVP candidate with 31 touchdowns and only eight interceptions, and although he’s new to this situation, he’s taking it in his stride. He could be the difference in this game, and that’s why we’re backing the Pats to cover the –3.5 spread.

There is renewed energy in Boston in the post-Tom Brady era. It didn’t take long for the franchise to find another star quarterback, and although the Texans have played well over the last few weeks, they only pulled away from the Steelers late in the game last week.

Punters get $2 for the Patriots to win by 4+ points, which is a good price.

Same Game Multi

Patriots –3.5, Rhamondre Stevenson Anytime Touchdown Scorer, Drake Maye Over 220.5 Passing Yards, Over 40.5 Points @ $10.50

Bet Now

Punters get $2.90 for Rhamondre Stevenson to score a touchdown, which is a good price. He has six touchdowns from his last three games, including three TDs against the Dolphins two weeks ago.

Maye should have over 220.5 passing yards. He has been throwing the deep ball well over the last few weeks, and he only needs a couple of long passes to take him over the mark. Our NFL models have him throwing for 240+ yards.

It should be a high scoring game. We expect the final score to be around 26-17, so include the over.

Best Value Bet

Patriots Halftime/Fulltime @ $2.20

Bet Now

The Patriots could lead from the outset, and we priced them at $2, so we’re taking the extra value from bookmakers.

They typically start the game well and playing at home helps. The energy from the crowd could be enough for the Patriots to score on their opening drive, and if the pressure goes on Houston, it could crack.

Include the $2.20 odds in NFL predictions this week.
