vs market (Earl \u2212 line)

New England sits at +3.7 points better than an average team on a neutral field, and that rating jumped 1.38 this week despite a brutal 4.34 schedule strength. The market is pricing them 5.19 points better than my number, which makes them a clear sell — especially with Carlton Davis, Christian Gonzalez, and Mack Hollins all out and a 4.8-point injury dock already baked in.
