The Patriots suffered a rather embarrassing defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints in Week 3 and will look to turn the page in Week 4.
Everyone has had this game with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers circled on their calendars since the schedule was released to see Tom Brady return to Gillette Stadium and take on his former team.
New England opened this week at 5.5-point underdogs, and the money continues to come in on the Buccaneers. According to Tipico Sportsbook, the Patriots are now 6.5-point underdogs heading into Sunday Night Football.
Tipico also has Tampa Bay as favorites on the money line with the odds currently set at -280 for a Bucs win, and the over/under is set at 48.5 points.
The way that the Patriots have looked in the first three weeks compared to this Buccaneers team lends credence to the spread in this game.
New England has yet to really get everything firing all at once, while Tampa Bay suffered their first loss in Week 3 to another Super Bowl contender in the Los Angeles Rams.
Obviously, this matchup is one of the most anticipated matchups of all time, but there may be a real shot at a blowout in Week 4.
