Taking the PATRIOTS here. Part of me doesn't like this line, but my thinking is simple. There is no way I am laying against Tom Brady losing 3 straight. Especially off a bye week. It isn't as if we have to cover double digits. We don't even need to cover a TD. If Edelman plays for NE, it is a plus. Even not being 100% still opens things up as he has to be respected if hobbled. Again, I think this is about Brady hitting Gronk. In Miami, we saw a steady diet of run plays by the Pats. Obviously working in new RB Steven Jackson. Belichick worked him 7 times vs the Jets, and 14 against Miami. I am sure he will see 20 here against the KC. He isn't the 1000 yard pounder from his Rams days, but he is someone who is fresh, albeit at a ripe old age of 32 in mid January. Alex Smith is a nice QB for KC. He does however have 4 INTs in his last 3 games. He has some help in a very good TE in Kelce. But it does look like WR Maclin will not be full throttle with a high ankle sprain. I know KC is red hot. By some freak mistake, I thought the Texans defense who stymie these guys. I should know better then back a team led by an ex-Browns QB. You get a big fat shut-out and TOs galore when you do that. I think this line represents that win, plus the overall win streak of KC. I said in my write up last week that the Chiefs were beating bad teams. I thought Houston was not bad. My mistake. This is a big step up facing Brady on the road. I clearly remember cashing KC destroying NE 41-14 on MNF last year. And clearly remember NE going 13-2 and winning a Super Bowl. So, we have a bit of revenge from that game which is an added bonus. 10* Money Bomb NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
