Haven't seen much on Week 1 so far but starting out Week 1 Pats are between +6 and +7 at Arizona. Outside of the obvious stories on Jimmy etc. I did a bunch of research but this has to be the worst line since 2002:
From 2013:
And here's another amazing stat: Since that 2005 Colts game, the Patriots have only been road underdogs 15 times, and in those contests, the Patriots didn't cover the spread just three times.
Another stat:
The largest spread was the undefeated 2007 Patriots giving 24.5 points against a middling Eagles team starting A.J. Feeley at quarterback. (The Eagles only lost that game by three points.)
I'm sure there's a record of it somewhere but have the Pats been dogs by 6 on the road or at home since 2002? It's an amazing run. I haven't found a great list of spreads for 2008 though.
