New England Patriots NFL Week 2 Odds

As surprising as it may seem New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick and his new quarterback Cam Newton have a few things in common. Each has something to prove. Belichick may be the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) coach in NFL history but wants to prove he can win it all without the GOAT of quarterbacks Tom Brady. Newton was 2015 NFL most valuable player after leading the Carolina Panthers to the NFC championship that season. The Hoodie and Newton are very much in the honeymoon phase of their new relationship after a nice home win over the Miami Dolphins. Following the game there was the renewed hope that the Patriots AFC East dynasty may continue this year. But this Sunday brings a strong NBC prime time test at the Seattle Seahawks, minus their frenzied fans.

New England Patriots Week 2 Matchup

On Sunday, September 20 the Seattle Seahawks will host the New England Patriots on NBC Sunday Night Football at Century Link Field in Seattle, Washington. Kickoff time is set for 8:20 p.m. ET with coverage on NBC. This interconference matchup is the road opener for the Patriots and home opener for the Seahawks. Seattle is known with Kansas City for having the NFL’s loudest stadium. COVID-19 will mute much of that unless the Seahawks crank the stereo speakers. Naturally for this matchup fans and gamblers harken back to Super Bowl XLIX when the Patriots defeated the Seahawks 28-24 on February 1, 2015.

Seattle is coming off an impressive 38-25 win and payout at the Atlanta Falcons as 1-point dogs with the game soaring over the total of 49.5. Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson flashed superstar credentials passing for 31 of 35 good for 322 yards with four touchdown passes. Seattle heavily emphasized the pass with 35 attempts compared to just 20 rushes. Atlanta outgained Seattle 506-383 but the Seahawks were plus-two in turnover margin.

As a road dog the Patriots have come away with the cash in 12 out of their last 16. New England is 4-1-1 over the total when getting points on the road. In away games vs. NFC teams the Patriots have covered the spread in seven of their last eight. New England is 3-9-1 under the total at NFC opponents.

Seattle has not been an effective home team vs. AFC visitors lately as evidenced by a mark of 2-5-1 against the spread. Five of their last nine at home against the AFC went under the total. As a home chalk the Seahawks have covered only five of their last 17 games. Four of Seattle’s last six as home chalk went over the total.

Head to head the Seahawks have gotten the cash in seven of their last 10 games against the Patriots. New England and Seattle have gone over the total in five straight meetings. At Seattle the Patriots have failed to leave with the money in their last two visits. Both of those games went over the total.

New England Patriots Week 1 Recap

Last week’s season opener was a 21-11 home win and payout for New England. The Patriots were 7.5-point chalks with the game going under the total of 41.5. The star of the game for the Patriots was Cam Newton, who led New England with 75 yards rushing on 15 carries for two touchdowns. Additionally, Newton was 15 of 19 passing for 155 yards. New England outgained the Patriots 357-269 and held a 29-20 first down advantage. The Patriots intercepted quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick three times. On the ground New England dominated both sides of the line with a 217-87-yard advantage.

Bill Belichick made a low risk gamble on Cam Newton with potentially high reward. Newton signed for a cheap contract loaded with incentives. He was named Patriots team captain and seems determined to prove the skeptics wrong. Belichick certainly gained the early advantage over Tom Brady after one week of play.
