Patriots division betting odds
- Buffalo Bills -625
- Miami Dolphins +600
- New England Patriots +1100
- New York Jets +100000
At 2-5, the Patriots are four wins behind the Bills and are in third place in the AFC East. Newton has not been playing well and they haven’t yet won a road game. With four divisional games still on the schedule in the second half, including two against the winless Jets, the Patriots have a chance to get back into the thick of things.
Patriots futures picks and predictions
NO, the Patriots are not a good bet for the Super Bowl. They are just too far out and they are missing too much of their talent from last year to be serious contenders.
As for the AFC East, though, the Bills have not played good defense, the Patriots have the schedule to recover from the slow start and the Dolphins look like, with QB Tua Tagovailoa, they will fade.
A small bet on New England to win the AFC East, because of the value at the midway point, is a good wager.
