Trends

- The Fish have recorded a 3-20-1 ATS mark in their past 24 outings vs. teams from the AFC East.

- New England is 3-6 ATS after winning a game straight-up but failing to cover the pointspread.

- New England has played 15 overs and 5 unders in its past 20 games overall.

WOL Playcall: The Pats are a very good team and at the very least, the best in recent memory but they've failed to cover in all games where they've been favored by 19-points or more.

But Miami has been snake bitten all season and not even new executive Bill Parcells can help that. Take New England.
