The Seattle Seahawks come to New England as a -3 road favorite. This one has mostly moved between -3.5 and -3.

Sagarin gives us a number of 2.58. We'll call this an accurate line with the slightest lean on an overlay, especially with the number at 3. Our own model does not suggest any advantage here.

The Jerod Mayo era got off to a winning start in New England last Sunday.

The former Patriots linebacker-turned coach began his tenure replacing the future Hall of Famer Bill Belichick on the New England sideline with a 16-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 120 yards and a first-quarter touchdown, Kyle Duggar had a touchdown-saving forced fumble and Joey Slye kicked three field goals for the new-look Patriots in their first regular-season game since firing Belichick, the six-time Super Bowl champion, after a 4-13 season and beginning their rebuild under Mayo, a first-time head coach.

Starting quarterback Jacoby Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 121 yards, and he ran seven times for 32 yards.

“He made plays with his arm, he made plays with his legs,” Mayo said. “He did everything we asked him to.”

Kenneth Walker III sparked Seahawks rally as Seattle tops Denver 26-20 in Mike Macdonald’s debut as head coach.

Walker III rushed for 84 of his 103 yards and a touchdown in the second half and sparked a rally following a mistake-filled first half littered with sloppy mistakes.

How to Be a Baseball Bookie

Just think about it, on average there are 162 regular MLB game per season. If a gambler bets $100 on one team per season with a 10% vig, you can earn $1,620 from them. Multiply that by the number of friends you have that follow baseball and it can become quite high.

Key Matchup

New England’s run game against Seattle’s rushing defense. Rhamondre Stevenson gained 120 yards on 25 carries last week, lugging the ball four straight times in the final minutes to pick up a pair of first downs that allowed the Patriots to bleed the clock. The Seahawks were 31st in run defense last season, allowing 138 yards per game, but they gave up just 99 on the ground in their opening 26-20 victory over Denver.
