Patriots vs. Falcons betting preview
Odds: Patriots -5.5, over/under 45.5
Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is off the injury report (bone bruise), and Atlanta may be eager to get him back on the field after Cousins went 21-for-31 with 173 yards and no touchdowns against Miami. Bijan Robinson was held to just 25 yards in that game and will now go up against a Patriots run defense that only allows 76.0 yards per game. Atlanta has still held opposing QBs to a league-low 149.1 yards per game but will have their work cut out for them against a surging New England offense.
Maye put his league-leading completion percentage (75.2%) to the test against a tough Browns defense and came away with 282 passing yards and three touchdowns. Third-year receiver Kayshon Boutte now has at least one touchdown catch in three straight games and Stefon Diggs tallied his first TD of the season against the Browns. The defense has been solid overall and is only allowing 18.3 points per game. Plus, the Patriots have cleaned up since a mistake-heavy loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 3 and now enter Week 9 with a plus-two turnover ratio.
