The New England Patriots (10-2) will look to end their first two-game losing streak since 2012 and cover the spread for the first time in more than a month when they visit the Houston Texans (6-6) in the Week 14 Sunday night matchup. The last time the Patriots lost three in a row was 2002 when they dropped four straight following a 3-0 start. They won the Super Bowl the previous season.
Point spread: The Patriots opened as 3.5-point favorites; the total was 44.5 early in the week, according to sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark.
