New England Patriots NFL Week 2 Betting Lines

Wiping out a high percentage of Survivor pools with the Bengals representing one of the most heavily used selections of the week 1 NFL betting slate, the New England Patriots scored the most shocking win of the week after toppling Cincinnati 16-10 as decided road dogs. There was absolutely nothing fluky about the triumph either with the Pats outgaining the Bengals 290-224, winning the time of possession battle by eight-plus minutes, racking up 17 first downs to Cincy’s 13, and most importantly, winning the turnover battle 2-0. Even with Jacoby Brissett only throwing for 121 yards and zero touchdowns, it was enough for the Patriots to open the year with a tally in the win column with the new coaching staff proudly taking it all in from the sideline. Should New England be considered a bonafide threat in the AFC East? Likely not. However, it just might not be the pushovers NFL bettors envisioned it would be heading into the regular season with Bill Belichick no longer looking over the franchises day-to-day.

Take a bow if you went against the norm and invested on the over of the Patriots suppressed 4.5-game season win total odds! The readjusted number to beat has since climbed to 5.5 with heavier vig attached to the high side of the offering. Not many envisioned New England sitting 1-0 both SU and against the NFL odds heading into the second week of the campaign, but it proved to be a perfect storm when taking into consideration the amount of off the field drama swirling around the ‘Natti’ these days. Be that as it may, the Patriots still aren’t being considered viable threats to challenge in the AFC East (+2200), AFC (+8000), or Super Bowl LIX (+15000) futures odds betting markets—nor should they! There’s still a major rebuild going down in Foxboro as evidenced by the “No” of the team making the playoffs still chiming in at -1400.

The number to beat has since swelled to +3.5 with New England taking in just over 30 percent of the bets and money. The Pats were brutal in front of the Foxboro faithful a season ago in managing a lone win through nine overall tries and going a bankroll killing 1-7-1 against the closing NFL spread.

The win was a solid start to Mayo’s tenure, emphasizing disciplined play and effective clock management. Owner Robert Kraft presented his new coach with the game ball, celebrating the team’s ability to overcome doubts. While the Bengals showed signs of life late in the game, New England's ability to capitalize on Cincinnati's mistakes and dominate the turnover battle underscored a promising start to the season under the new leadership.

Quarterback Tom Brady became the GOAT of his position for Kraft and Belichick. His departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 led to that franchise winning the Super Bowl in Brady’s first season. Brady’s championship in Tampa fueled Belichick’s fire to build a new dynasty with Mac Jones, but it didn’t come to pass. Jones was traded to the Jaguars in March of 2024 while the future Hall of Fame coach ended his tenure in New England a few months prior. A new coaching staff led by Jerod Mayo will attempt to rebuild the dynasty with Drake Maye leading the offenses’ charge.
