New England Patriots betting and odds

The New England Patriots in good shape, again favorite to win the Super Bowl according to the betting odds.

New England Patriots betting and odds Last NFL season the New England Patriots were the clear favorite to win the Super Bowl, but a lost to Indianapolis Colts 38-34 in the AFC Championship game put an end to those dreams. Despite that, the sportsbooks remain optimistic for this year's performance of the Patriots and the team is highly favorite to win every competition.

Quarterback Tom Brady will have extra help this season, with lots of attention towards the wide receiver Randy Moss, who was acquired from the Oakland Raiders, and another fresh wide receiver Donte Stallworth was added to the New England Patriots. With Corey Dillon out of the picture, the running back Laurence Maroney will be carrying most of the load after a rookie year in 2006.

Defensively, the New England Patriots made some much welcomed improvements, signing linebacker Adalius Thomas from Baltimore Ravens as a free agent and adding the safety Brandon Meriweather in the entry draft. Barring injuries, the New England Patriots will be a Super Bowl frontrunner again this NFL season. Tom Brady threw a pair of touchdown passes in Week 3 of the preseason, leading the New England Patriots to a 24-7 win over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium. Brady was 17-for-22 for 167 yards and no interceptions, while Donte Stallworth caught three passes for 45 yards for the Patriots.
