If you're playing in a slate that includes the Monday night game, the New England Patriots make for a great option, as they get a crack at Jay Cutler and the Miami Dolphins.

After starting the season as a defense to target with opposing offenses, the Patriots have turned things around since their Week 9 bye. Over the past four weeks, the Patriots have finished no lower than ninth in weekly scoring on FanDuel. Just two weeks ago, in their first matchup with the Dolphins, the Team Belichick finished the week tied for second in weekly scoring. In that game, the Patriots sacked Matt Moore 7 times and forced 3 Dolphins' turnovers.

This week it will be Cutler back under center for the Dolphins, but he has been as turnover prone as any quarterback in the league, throwing 11 interceptions through 10 games.

Vegas is projecting another Patriots blowout in this contest, listing the Patriots as an 11-point favorite, the largest spread on the week. In a matchup against Cutler, the Patriots defense has as much upside as any other team on the slate.
