The Patriots are back on track, and a win in the final week of the regular season will result in yet another first-round bye.
New England owns the second seed in the AFC, and just needs a win against the New York Jets to lock in that spot. The oddsmakers seem to like their chances, as they open as 14-point home favorites in the regular season finale.
Other betting matchups of note are the Pittsburgh Steelers as massive 16-point favorites against the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Minnesota Vikings as 6.5-point favorites against the Chicago Bears, as Minnesota needs a win to make the playoffs as the No. 6 seed.
