The lowly San Francisco 49ers will be served up on a silver platter for the Patriots, who last week suffered their first SU and ATS loss since Tom Brady’s return but are on a run that’s seen them go 16-3 SU after a loss. Oddsmakers are well aware that the Patriots will have vengeance on their minds, Sportsbook them as the biggest favorite of the week at 14 points, which also makes them the biggest favorite of the season if that spread remains intact.
- The 49ers are 0-8 SU and 1-7 ATS in their last eight games.
- LeGarrette Blount has scored at least one rushing TD in his last five games.
- The 49ers are allowing an NFL-worst 185.6 rushing yards per game at home.
New England has been a road favorite three times already this season and has absolutely cleaned up in that spot, going 3-0 SU and ATS, winning by an average 15.6 points. But, is 14 points too much to cover for a road team traveling cross-country? No. The 49ers already have five losses of more than 14 points this season, with two of those losses coming at home. In their seven ATS losses this season, they’ve lost by an average of 16.3 points. This team is awful.
Looking a little bit closer at the significance of that big spread, over the past five seasons, there have only been TWO spreads of 14 or more points favoring the road team. Big spreads like this, no matter what side is favored, tend to favor the underdog, as favorites are 39-47-3 since 2006 in games with a spread of 14 points or more.
As of Tuesday, the line was bumped down to 13 points, but per usual, more movement is expected.
