Tank For Trevor? Odds on Pats Starting QB for 2021, Yes 2021 Opening Day

The oddsmakers are really digging deep with their latest set of Patriots-related props at SportsBetting

Not only have they projected who will be New England’s quarterback this coming season, but there’s a list for the 2021 campaign as well. 

This was likely prompted by the chatter that the Patriots will try to tank in order to draft Trevor Lawrence after he finishes his college career. 

There are some interesting names on it, particularly at the top where Deshaun Watson sits. The Texans just traded away DeAndre Hopkins for a bag of balls, which has drawn mass criticism for the head coach and the GM-less organization. 

A Bill Belichick-Deshaun Watson marriage could set the stage for another dynasty.

Lawrence and other notable college QBs are on the list, a few NFL free agents to be and Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes, albeit with long odds.

Big Swing on Tampa, New England Super Bowl Odds

While most of the sports betting world is on hold, Tom Brady’s cross-conference move has had a massive impact on the NFL futures markets at SportsBetting

On February 3, the day after the Super Bowl, the Buccaneers had 66-1, or +6600, odds to win Super Bowl LV. Yesterday morning, Tampa’s odds opened at 33-1, then moved to 25-1 and dropped as low as 12-1. 

Currently, the Bucs odds to win the Super Bowl are 20-1. 

In terms of AFC South odds, the Saints remain odds-on favorites (-125) to take the division again, but Tampa’s odds went from 8-1 to 2-1 following the Brady news. 

The Bucs currently have the third-best odds to win the NFC at 17-2, or +850.

For New England, its odds have shifted with a question mark at quarterback, but not as much as you might think. 

“As long as they have that hooded genius roaming the sidelines in Foxboro, the Patriots are never going to be too far off from the favorite position,” said Robert Cooper, head linesman at SportsBetting.ag.

The Patriots had 12-1 Super Bowl odds yesterday morning, but now their chances have jumped to 20-1. Their odds to win the AFC are third at 10-1.

And despite the loss of Brady, the Pats remain odds-on favorites to capture another AFC East crown at -110. But just a week ago, they were -250.
