The New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks was one of the most bet on games of the week early on despite the fact that the Seahawks have yet to win more than 2 games this season, not to mention this is a late afternoon game so action should be especially heavy throughout Sunday.  And most of the money is flowing New England's way.

It probably has something to do with that enticing -4 ½ line that favors a 7-5 New England team.  Bookies have a strong opinion on this game, believing that Seattle will cover and some have even moved the line down to Patriots -4 in an effort to encourage further betting on New England.

The Seahawks are 5-1 over the last 6 games but they date back to 1989 with the only game of this decade between these two teams resulting in a 10 point win by the Patriots at home.

Of the important stats to consider for New England Patriots vs. Seattle Seahawks:

The Seahawks are 2-7 ATS as an underdog.

They are, however, 6-1-2 ATS at home against teams with a winning record.

The Patriots are 1-5 ATS against a team with a losing record.

But they are also 5-0 ATS following an ATS loss.  

Accuscore suggests that The Patriots should be able to avoid the drops and other mistakes that cost them last week to win in Seattle. Randy Moss has a 44 percent chance of having at least 1 touchdown and when he does score the Patriots winning percentage increases from 72 percent to 78 percent. The Seahawks anemic running game is only getting 3.7 ypc from Julius Jones and Maurice Morris. There is only a 17 percent chance that Jones has 50+ rushing yards and Morris has 25+ as his backup. If these two are this productive the Seahawks actually become the favorite winning 53 percent of these Custom Game Simulations.
