Game: New England Patriots vs. Carolina Panthers (currently at NE -3.5)
TREND: Carolina can’t beat the spread since early-season start
- ATS: 1-4 (20%) over the last 5 weeks
Sam Darnold had a fantastic start to his Carolina Panthers career, however, that’s faded quick as the Panthers have struggled immensely since Christian McCaffrey got injured. C-Mac is back this week, but he’ll be on a pitch count as he gets back to 100%. Meanwhile, Mac Jones has yet to lose a road game in his NFL career and Bill Belichick might have Sam seeing ghosts again.
Pick: NE -3.5 (-110)
