When was the last time the Pats were home dogs? (1 Viewer)

I honestly can't remember the last time the pats were + points at home. 

Was it maybe Brady's rookie year? Or does it go back to Bledsoe?

Any gamblers remember? I understand why, but man - crazy.

Since the start of the 2002 season, a.k.a. the season that followed the first Super Bowl title of the Brady-Bill Belichick era, the Patriots have been home underdogs exactly five times. New England wasn’t even a home dog at all in 2008, when Brady went down in Week 1 and missed the rest of the season.

Wow, thanks eoMMan! Ask and he shall receive.

5 times in 15 years? That's crazy.

Pats are going to stomp the Texans.  Don't know how, but they will.

FWIW, they haven't been dogs since about 5pm...line flipped quickly late this afternoon, and has been holding at -1 for the better part of the last 3 hours, from what I'm seeing at most outs...

Last time was in 2014 week 5.

Edit: Big fat lie - last time was week 9 of that same year vs Den.  

Edit 2: I see the article mentions all of that

Follow-up question: when's the next time the Pats will be (installed as) home dogs?

If I had to guess, it won't happen again during Belichick's tenure.

Maybe the most dominant game from a special teams perspective I have ever seen.
