The New England Patriots won’t win a Super Bowl if they play the way they did Sunday in South Beach.
That much is obvious.
Heading into Week 1, Bill Belichick’s bunch had the 17th-best odds to emerge with the Lombardi Trophy this coming February, but American oddsmakers were very quick to move their numbers in the future book. The Patriots were surpassed at BetMGM by the Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins, New Orleans Saints, Tennessee Titans, Pittsburgh Steelers and Washington Commanders after just one week of regular-season football.
And it’s difficult to argue with most of those adjustments.
