Odds For Patriots To Go Undefeated
One of the most intriguing drafts in the Bill Belichick era is around the corner for the New England Patriots.
The focus has been primarily on building for the future and keeping the offense decent enough for Tom Brady to work with. Last year’s draft was the first without Brady at the helm, but the Patriots went without a quarterback and drafted a DII safety (Kyle Dugger) with their first pick. The team’s trajectory was unclear and many believed Belichick could salvage the team without a top quarterback running the show — which was incorrect.
- The Patriots and Deshaun Watson. “If I get Deshaun Watson — with all those other opt-outs coming back — I’m going to go to the Super Bowl. The odds are actually in favor of.
- The Bengals were 3-0. Unfortunately, this was the year where Bill Belichick said the New England Patriots were “on to Cincinnati.” The Patriots creamed the Bengals 43-17, and Cincinnati would go on to lose in the wild-card round.
- The New England Patriots were so impressive in Week 1 that the conversation of perfection has already begun. Their odds to go 16-0 are +1000.
A week ago, it seemed silly to wonder if the New England Patriots could go 16-0 this season, or if the Miami Dolphins could go 0-16. Then they played each other, and oddsmakers reacted to the.
Moving forward to 2021, the Patriots will likely be without Cam Newton and drafting a quarterback at No. 15 is becoming more realistic. ESPN’s Todd McShay’s first mock draft put Ohio State’s Justin Fields in New England and Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest mock draft inserted Alabama’s Mac Jones at that place.
They don’t pick this high often. Why not go and get your guy and build around him? Now, that changes if Bill Belichick & Co. can make a deal to get a veteran quarterback on the trade market or if Jimmy Garoppolo gets cut by the 49ers. But with Cam Newton unlikely to return to New England, Jones could become a signal-caller to groom for offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. …
But with Cam Newton unlikely to return to New England, Jones could become a signal-caller to groom for offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Jones can make every throw at every level of the field, and he’s extremely accurate. Plus, we know that Belichick has drafted plenty of Alabama stars and trusts Nick Saban. Jones will be at the Senior Bowl this week, and I’m expecting him to impress. And yes, if you’re keeping count, this makes five quarterbacks in the top 15 picks.
Kiper Jr. has Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence going No. 1 (Jaguars), BYU’s Zach Wilson going No. 4 (Falcons), Fields going No. 7 (Lions) and North Dakota State’s Trey Lance landing No. 8 (Panthers). Jones was an underdog at Alabama who worked his way to the top and the Saban connection would only make things sweeter for Belichick.
What Year Did The Patriots Go Undefeated
Jones led the Crimson Tide to an undefeated record, including an SEC Championship and National Championship in 2020. He threw for 4,500 yards, 41 touchdowns and four interceptions in 13 games — with a 77.4 completion percentage and 203.1 quarterback rating.
