During their seven-game winning streak between Weeks 7 and 13, the New England Patriots (-15)
averaged 32.1 points per contest and looked like one of the most potent scoring units in the NFL. Over their last two games, however, they have struggled putting points on the board: New England scored only 17 points against the Indianapolis Colts (-6.5), and only 21 versus the Buffalo Bills (-14) — both ending in defeat.
Going back to their Week 13 matchup versus the Bills, the Patriots have averaged only 17.3 points per game. Obviously, though, all of that came against playoff-caliber opposition and some of the best defensive units the league has to offer.
