NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS -3 (-120) over Kansas City Chiefs

There is one reason and one reason only why taking the Patriots make any sense. This is the type of game where everyone counts them out and they somehow figure out a way to win the game. It happens every year. The Patriots get beat away from home. They look vulnerable. Everyone starts piling dirt on their grave. They come back and win.

New England is 41-6 after a loss since 2003. They cover 71.9 percent of the time. I’m not going against that.
