New England at Tampa Bay Game Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
New England has already matched its loss total from last season’s Super Bowl run at 2-2 straight-up through the first four weeks of the this season. It is 1-3 against the spread following Sunday’s stunning 33-30 loss to Carolina as a nine-point home favorite. The total easily went OVER the 47.5-point closing line in that loss and it has now gone OVER in the Patriots’ first four games.

<p>
You cannot blame Tom Brady or the New England offense for the team’s unexpected slow start. He has already thrown for 1,399 yards and 10 touchdowns despite the fact that his favorite target Julian Edelman was lost for the season due to injury. The main concern for the Patriots is a defense that has sunk to last in the NFL in yards allowed (456.8) and 31st when it comes to points allowed (32.0). The defense secondary has been the biggest issue with an average of 324 passing yards allowed through four games.
