"Arguably the most anticipated season since the end of the Tom Brady era in Foxborough is set to begin on Sunday. There's certainly one way to prove that there are greater expectations for the Patriots in 2025 than there have been in other recent years. If you look at how oddsmakers view the Patriots entering the year, you'd notice that Mike Vrabel has some pressure to succeed when they kick the season off against the Raiders on Sunday."
"This year, oddsmakers project the Patriots to be at least a playoff contender. Their +115 odds to make the playoffs give them a 46.5 percent implied probability of playing in the postseason. Even though the Patriots' win total is set at 8.5, they're actually favored to win 11 of their 17 games in the regular season. The Patriots also have the second-best odds to win the AFC East, trailing just the Bills."
Oddsmakers set the Patriots' win total at 8.5 with Super Bowl odds at +6000 and AFC title odds at +2800. The team has +115 odds to make the playoffs, implying a 46.5 percent chance of postseason qualification. Betting markets favor the Patriots to win 11 of their 17 regular-season games despite the 8.5 win total. Mike Vrabel faces added pressure entering the opener against the Raiders. The Patriots rank second in odds to win the AFC East behind Buffalo, which is heavily favored at -330 after five straight division titles. Drake Maye's early odds show modest expectations, including +5000 MVP odds and projected season totals.
