New England has the best coaching staff in the NFL and it has shown with this young team getting better each week, winning four straight. They were actually very good during a 2-4 start, missing a last-second field goal against defending champion Tampa Bay, losing in OT to Dallas, and fumbling late in the red zone in a 17-16 loss to Miami. They're very close to being 8-2. The balanced offense keeps getting better while the defense has been impressive all-around, sixth in yards allowed, second in points (17.7 pg). New England has won all four of its road games and is 21-6 UNDER the total on natural grass, 25-11 UNDER against teams that allow 27+ points per game. Bill Belichick has a big edge with this week's defensive game plan facing a one-dimensional Atlanta offense that averages 3.5 yards per carry (third-worst), just 82.9 yards rushing per game (fourth-worst). While New England took Dallas to overtime, the Falcons just lost to the Cowboys, 43-3. Atlanta is 83-57 UNDER the total against offenses that score 24+ points per contest. Combine the Patriots (-280) on the moneyline and the New England-Atlanta total UNDER 47 into a 2-team parlay at +163 odds.
