New England Patriots Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV

The New England Patriots have ruled the AFC East like no team has ruled its division in NFL history. New England has won the last ten division titles and 15 of the last 16 AFC East titles, and the Pats are massive favorites to claim the division once again this year. Their Super Bowl betting odds have been cut in half after a dominant win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football, and they are enormous favorites on the road against the Miami Dolphins in week 2.

New England Patriots Week 2 Preview

The Patriots are one of the biggest road favorites in NFL history. New England opened as a 14-point favorite in south Florida per the initial NFL betting odds, but one-sided action led to oddsmakers closing the line. When the line opened again a few hours later, the Patriots were -17 per the football betting odds. They have since been bet up to -19, and if the line closes there New England would be the second-biggest road favorite in NFL history.

Interestingly enough, New England is already the second-biggest road favorite in history. The Patriots were favored by 18.5 points on the road against Baltimore during their undefeated regular season in 2007, and they nearly lost that game to the Ravens. Baltimore led by four points with less than a minute remaining, but then mistakes and penalties cost the Ravens one of the biggest upsets in NFL betting history. Miami can use that for inspiration along with the fact that the Dolphins are 10-7 against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick in Florida.

New England is expected to dominate on both sides of the ball against Miami. Tom Brady was sharp in the season opener against Pittsburgh, and the Dolphins’ secondary just allowed Lamar Jackson and Robert Griffin III to combine for a near perfect passer rating in Week 1. That should lead to big games for Julian Edelman and Josh Gordon against Miami, although Phillip Dorsett led the team in receiving against Pittsburgh.

The Patriots are probably going to make an effort to establish the run too after failing to do so against the Steelers. Sony Michel averaged less than a yard per carry on 15 carries, and New England averaged 3.4 yards per carry as a team.

This Pats defense is expected to hold Miami in check. New England’s secondary is the strongest it has been in years, and the Dolphins don’t have much in the way of skill position talent.

Unfortunately, the specter of Antonio Brown will somewhat overshadow this game. Brown has been the story of the league for the last month due to his antics, and the Patriots signed him last Friday following his release from the Raiders. Since then, Brown has been accused of sexual assault, and he might not play against Miami or for the rest of the season.

New England Patriots Week 1 Recap

New England opened its season at home, hanging its sixth Super Bowl banner against the only other team in NFL history with six Super Bowls. The home crowd had plenty to cheer for on the night as the Patriots hammered the Steelers 33-3.

The Patriots continued their dominance of the Steelers as Brady has yet to lose to Pittsburgh at home. Brady was incredible on the night, completing two-thirds of his passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns, and he averaged 9.5 yards per pass attempt.

It was nearly a perfect performance for the Pats. They were ahead 20-0 at halftime, and everything they did seemed to work. Only the ground game struggled against the Steelers front seven, but their defense was fantastic in completely flustering one of the best offenses in the league.

Pittsburgh could only muster 32 rushing yards on the evening, and James Conner averaged just 2.1 yards per carry. Donta Hightower was as great as usual in the middle of the defense, and the secondary was great. Ben Roethlisberger couldn’t get anything going until garbage time on Sunday night.

Past New England Patriots Seasons

A charter member of the AFL, the Patriots joined the NFL when the league’s merged in 1970. Things haven’t always been so rosy for the franchise, which endured many painful seasons at the outset. From their inaugural season in 1960 until the 1976 campaign, the Pats made the postseason just once. They reached the AFL Championship game in 1963. Under Chuck Fairbanks in 1976, the Pats won 11 games and qualified for the NFL playoffs for the first time.

However, it wouldn’t be until the 1985 season when the Pats would win their first NFL playoff contest. In fact they won three that season, knocking off the Jets, Raiders and Dolphins to reach the Super Bowl for the first time. They were no match for the Bears losing 46-10. After several down years and a few head coaches, the Pats returned to the Super Bowl in the 1996 season under Bill Parcells, only to lose again.

In 2000 the team hired Belichick and drafted Brady in the sixth round with the 199th overall pick. Since the 2001 season when Brady became the starter, the Pats have been to nine Super Bowls, won 16 of 18 AFC East titles, including a current league record 10 in a row. They also won at least 10 games in a season 17 times and posted the first 16-0 regular season in NFL history. They were denied the perfect season in 2007 with a loss to the Giants in Super Bowl XLII.
