Special BetMGM prop line
In New Jersey? BetMGM has a special prop bet on Patriots QB Tom Brady for new customers. Bet $1 and win $100 (in free bets) if Brady completes a pass vs. the Eagles Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019. Easy win. Visit BetMGM for terms and conditions.
Moneyline (?)
The PATRIOTS (-186) are the play; and, while still chalky, the juice isn’t nearly as painful as usual. You can thank the Ravens for that. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has a .736 win percentage following a bye. Brady is 13-4 following a bye. While the Eagles (+155) might be enticing, it’s a hard pass here.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Patriots returns a profit of $5.38 with a New England victory.
Against the Spread (?)
The Patriots are favored by three-and-a-hook, which is a teasing line (-106). Don’t take the bait. In the Eagles’ four losses, they’ve either been blown out or played it very close. This spread is too dangerous to wager and the best bet here is no bet at all. AVOID.
Over/Under (?)
With 44.5 points slated as the total and both teams returning from a bye, this feels like it will be a game of chess and that number will be a razor-thin margin on my projections. The UNDER (-115) is the play, but just a small-unit wager.
