New England Patriots NFL Week 14 Betting Lines

The New England Patriots will be out to snap a five-game losing and coverless streak when they kick off Week 14 betting action in the Steel City against the Pittsburgh Steelers under the lights of Thursday Night Football. It remains to be seen just how determined they’ll be to win this game knowing full well the No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft is almost theirs for the taking, but early line movement has actually gone the way of the visitors if you can believe it. Pretty interesting considering the teams’ lone win and cover on the road against the NFL odds to date came against the moribund New York Jets way back in Week 3.

New England Patriots Week 14 Matchup

On Thursday, December 7, 2023, the New England Patriots will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers from Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, PA. Kickoff for Thursday Night Football is set for 8:15 p.m. ET with live television coverage on PRIME VIDEO. The lookahead betting line for this conference battle hit the board with the Patriots catching 6.5-points and the total set at 35. The number to beat has since fallen a half-point to +6 and the total down three-points to 32. While some of that has to do with Mitchell Trubisky now manning the Steelers ship after Kenny Pickett went down last week, it also has to do with the putrid showing from the offense that’s scored, six, seven, and zero points over the last three weeks with Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe being shuffled in and out of the lineup. Rhamondre Stevenson went down with what’s being called a high ankle sprain early on against the Chargers, so he likely won’t be making an appearance in this game. That means it will once again be up to the Pats proud defense to make a game of it, and that’s likely to occur as rough a go of it Pittsburgh’s offense has had all season as well. NE has held the upper hand in the recent rivalry winning seven of the last 10 overall meetings (5-3-2 ATS) with the under cashing seven times and 47.3 points scored on average. Last year’s skirmish saw the Patriots score the 17-14 win that played to an easy under (40).

New England Patriots Week 13 Recap

Only five more weeks remain in the disaster that has been the 2023-24 campaign for the New England Patriots with the team hitting rock-bottom in Week 13 betting after losing 6-0 to the Chargers with a not so solid out Gillette Stadium crowd taking the catastrophe in live. In doing so, the Pats became the first team to allow 10 or fewer points in three straight losses since the Chicago Cardinals pulled off the feat way back in 1938. That meant the under money train remained on track for New England versus the Chargers with the six combined points falling well short of the 38.5-point total much to the chagrin of linemakers that saw 78 percent of the bets and 70 percent of the money align itself with the under that’s now 9-3 overall. Neither team breached their opponents red zone in the match with less than 500 yards of offense accrued by both teams. It’s very rare that a 4-point favorite covers a game when it scores six points in this day and age of the NFL, but that’s exactly what happened in this one with the Pats once again stinking the joint up offensively. The online sportsbook would’ve loved to have seen them put a measly field goal on the board with Bill Belichick’s troops only taking in 31 percent of the bets and 28 percent of the money. However, “The Hoodie’s” plan of potentially granting the team the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft before bolting for another team got another step closer with New England now sitting just one game in back of the Panthers for the top pick. With each of their next four games to come against playoff hopefuls, they’re likely to give the Panthers a run for their money and will likely get it with Carolina handing it off to Chicago.

New England Patriots Schedule & Results

Founded in 1960 as the Boston Patriots, this franchise was a charter member of the American Football League. Since that year, they have shared the same division with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. The Miami Dolphins joined the division in 1966.

New England operated on a shoestring budget for the first 35 years. But when Robert Kraft took control of the team in the mid-1990s, the entire culture of the franchise changed. In 2000 Kraft hired Bill Belichick to run the franchise, and the results have been historic. New England has won six Super Bowl championships and nine AFC championships in the Kraft and Belichick era.

Quarterback Tom Brady became the GOAT of his position for Kraft and Belichick. His departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 led to that franchise winning the Super Bowl in Brady’s first season. Brady’s championship in Tampa fuels Belichick’s fire to build a new dynasty with Mac Jones.
