Week 11: Last 5 Weeks UPM
The "Ultimate Prediction Machine" original game simulator is run twice each week using two different data sets: the first uses season to date stats, the second uses stats from only the last five weeks.
The Ultimate Prediction Machine simulates each NFL matchup five-thousand times
using our exclusive TwoMinuteWarning Drive Chart stats. Each simulated
score is compared against the line on the game to assess who would have
covered and the numbers are compiled to give a confidence value to
the chances of each team covering.

Analysis:
The Patriots are still carried along in bettors' minds by the three Super Bowl victories. Truth is they were fortunate to get the win in Miami. Saints have been underachievers but are off a bye and if they can't get up for a game with New England then indeed all hope is lost.
Favor: New Orleans +10
