New England Patriots Projected To Win Literally Everything In 2017
With the schedules set and the draft completed, many bettors have set their eyes on the upcoming NFL season, still sadly a little over 3 months away. As it is, there are already game lines available for the upcoming regular season, we’ve come to see teams with Super Bowl 52 odds, and even more interestingly, odds on the total wins in the 2017 regular season.
Atop this list are the reigning Super Bowl Champions, the New England Patriots. Tom Brady and Co. had a successful offseason, adding free agents Brandin Cooks and Mike Gillislee to the roster and drafting a number of talented rookies. So it should come as no shock that this Massachusetts-based team has the best total in the league, set at 12.5 games. As you probably vividly remember, the Patriots went 14-2 last season, despite the fact that they started the first quarter of the season without Super Star QB Tom Brady.
In addition to having the best game totals of any other team in the league (Pittsburgh and Seattle were the closest with their totals set at 10.5 games), they are also the only team to be favored in literally every matchup of the 2017 regular season. That’s not a joke. The gamelines released by a sports book last night put New England on top every single week, except for week 17, which has not been released yet.
The Patriots end their season against the Jets at Gillette Stadium, though, so you can probably guess who the favorite will be in that game.
According to ESPN, the Patriots are favored by an average of more than six points per game. While this average includes outliers like the 12.5 point spread against the Chargers and the 1.5 point spread against the Raiders, it’s still pretty ridiculous. No team should be the favorite in every matchup, and no team should be favored by an average of 6 points for the season. Then again, no team should be able to come back from a 25 point deficit in the 3rd quarter of the Super Bowl.
To top everything off, the New England Patriots are far and away the favorites to win Super Bowl 52. At 3-1 in most Vegas sportsbooks, there’s really no doubt who the oddsmakers think will be taking home the Lombardi Trophy in February 2018 – or should we say retaining, since it looks like a repeat is in order?
So are these odds just further proof added to the foregone conclusion that the Patriots are going to win everything this season? Of course not. Oddsmakers use public opinion heavily when determining a team’s betting odds, and people are hot on the Patriots right now. In professional football, anything can happen. A single game can change the tempo of an entire season. Let’s not forget, the Falcons were 73/1 in some sportsbooks prior to the beginning of last season, and look how far they went.
Now, for those Patriots fans who enjoy laying futures bets and firmly believe that Tom Brady is the GOAT and can do no wrong, by all means, lay those wagers. Betting on the Patriots is one of the best things about the offseason. There’s so much hope and hype for the upcoming football season. MassachusettsGamblingSites.com wants you to know this is the time when anything can happen.
Massachusetts residents can bet on the Patriots at an online, offshore sportsbook like Bovada or BetOnline. You don’t have to bet on the Patriots, though. Tom Brady’s age is going to catch up with him sometime, right? Right?
