Pats are underdogs in only the opener this year so far

New England Patriots' point spreads for Weeks 1-16

There is no line yet for the Pitt game... likely underdogs there too in Pitt.

First 4 games:

NE +4.5 @ ARI
MIA @ NE -6
HOU @ NE -3
BUF @ NE -3

Wow. Might be worth taking all of these if you think Brady is playing....

The -9 versus Ravens seems high. They always play the Pats close................

We'll blow the ratbirds out.

While it's true that the Ravens play the Patriots tough more often than not in recent years... but they are not that good of a team anymore. Plus there's the obvious that will be a factor.

I'll be shocked if they cover -9 in Foxboro.

Can't wait to see the "expectations" head games that BB plays with Carson Palmer et al in the weeks leading up to the game...a few mentions of their loss to Carolina..."I know they're going to be looking to make a statement after the loss to Carolina. So, it's going to be a tough game for us. Jimmy will be starting his first NFL game against one of the league's established stars. Tough one, that's for sure."
