defending Super Bowl champions are 1-10-1 ATS in the preseason when playing with an undefeated record against an opponent off a loss, including 0-9-1 ATS since 1983, when as a dog or favorite of less than 10 points.

New England will be trying to build on the success of preseason victories over Eagles (31-22), Bucs (25-21) when they visit Detroit Lions who won their opener 26-17 vs Jets but took it on the chin this past week getting smacked 24-6 by Browns. Tom Brady looking mighty sharp in his warm-up appearances going 18-of-20 for 172 yards, 2 TD and getting additional snaps this week could do serious damaged against the Lions and it's shaky pass rush allowing 524 yards, 5 TD's in two preseason games. Meanwhile, Lions uninspiring offense faces a tough task vs the Patriots pass rush which has been a bright spot piling up seven sacks in two games. In looking at how these two have done in what is the closest thing to a regular season game teams play in August, the Lions clearly have history on their side posting a 4-1 ATS mark while Patriots are on an 0-5 skid during dress-rehearsal week. NFLx sports bettors siding with Lions will also point out home favorites of 3 or less during WK3 have enjoyed a profitable 10-5 ATS mark at the betting window. However, NFLx sports betting contrarians will stick with the Brady Bunch knowing Patriots are on a 4-1-1 ATS stretch as preseason underdogs.
