Despite entering Week 5 off of three straight losses, the New England Patriots are betting favorites to win their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday — the first time all season they are not viewed as an underdog by the oddsmakers.
According to FanDuel, the Patriots open the week as 1.5-point favorites versus their division rivals. The over/under has been set at 35.5 points.
The Patriots being favored has little to do with them showing significant signs of progress lately, but rather with Miami seemingly falling apart in front of all the world to see.
