Patriots open NFL Week 10 in Munich against 6-2 Lions after 45-point loss

The New England Patriots get Sunday of Week 10 started, and they'll do it about 4,000 miles from Foxborough. As NBC Sports Philadelphia notes in its rundown of the full Week 10 schedule, Drake Maye and the 5-4 Patriots face Jared Goff and the 6-2 Detroit Lions at Allianz Arena in Munich. It's the last game the league plays in Europe this season, and after it come seven games in the early window and three in the late afternoon.

Kickoff is set for 9:30 a.m. ET on Sunday, Nov. 15. NBC Boston lists Fox as the broadcaster. Detroit is the designated home team, and DAZN reports the Lions arrive on a four-game winning streak, with a win putting them first in the NFC North. The Bears and Broncos, both 7-2, are among the four teams on bye.

New England heads overseas after its worst afternoon in weeks. Green Bay won 45-27 at Gillette Stadium. NBC Boston reports that Maye threw three interceptions in the first half and Christian Gonzalez gave up a season-high 192 passing yards in coverage. Mike Vrabel said afterward that his best players didn't play to their potential. The line may be thinner too: Covers reports left tackle Will Campbell left the Packers game with a knee injury, and Detroit's 27 sacks ranked second in the league in that report.

What it means for Sunday

The Patriots haven't won or lost two in a row since September. Their last four results were a win, a loss, a win and a loss: a 26-19 win over the Jets, a 30-24 loss in Chicago, a 24-19 win in Miami and then the Green Bay loss. They're 3-1 at home and 2-3 on the road, and they've scored 211 points while allowing 207. Their defense has given up 30 or more points in two of the last three games.

The Detroit matchup could suit Maye. CBS Sports reports the Lions are allowing a league-high 260.9 passing yards per game. CBS also reports that Maye has nine touchdown passes and 11 interceptions in six games against teams with winning records. New England has gone 3-1 against the AFC East and 2-3 against everyone else, and the Lions are the fourth NFC North team on the schedule after Green Bay, Chicago and Minnesota's division-mates.

On this site's Patriots-Lions board, which covers 12 venues, Detroit is favored. Novig has the Lions at -141 and the Patriots at +138 on the moneyline. Novig sets the spread at Lions -2.5, with New England at +113. The best price anywhere on the Patriots side is Pinnacle's +3 at -113, so the venues are half a point apart on the number. The total is split the same way: Novig has 51.5 with the over at +108, and FanDuel's 50.5 at -115 is the best over on the board. Sportsbook hold runs from 3.0% to 5.5% across the markets. That high total fits recent Patriots games: SI reports the over has hit in each of New England's last six.
