Atlanta at New England

Bookmaker.com line – New England -4.5 (45.5)

      Take away the frantic final 4 minutes of the Buffalo game, and Tom Brady has led to Patriots to all of one touchdown in 116 minutes. Yikes. Any thoughts of picking up where he left off in 2007 are now out the window as New England goes back to the drawing board. Everyone thought the defense would have problems, and it has at times. And now the Falcons come to town. Atlanta has taken care of business at home and now begins a nasty five-game stretch that includes road games at NE, San Francisco and Dallas before a division showdown at New Orleans.
