New England at New York

HC Mike Vrabel wants to establish a winning culture in his first year, as New England has dominated its first two preseason games, outscoring opponents 68-30. Rookies TreVeyon Henderson and Efton Chism III each had touchdowns against the Vikings. Chism also had six receptions for 71 yards and a score. Drake Maye's backups, Joshua Dobbs and Ben Woolridge, combined for 18 of 29 for 161 yards and a TD. New York surprisingly has won and covered its first two games, as Brian Daboll has not traditionally placed much importance on preseason wins. He still is only 6-5 straight up and 4-7 ATS in the preseason. The Patriots have gone UNDER five of their past six Game 3 preseason games, and they are 6-2 UNDER their past eight preseason games overall. Jaxson Dart finished 14 of 16 for 137 yards as the Giants defeated the Jets 31-12, although it isn't clear whether he will be the No. 2 QB with Jameis Winston on the team. Russell Wilson isn't expected to play in this game. Take the points with the Patriots and the UNDER.
