Betting Preview Brief

The Patriots have a relatively easy schedule with five of their first eight games at Gillette Stadium.  They will ultimately play five road games over a six-week span, however.  SettingTheEdge.com notes that Since 2006, only eight teams won double-digit games by multiple scores in a single season. Those teams almost always win over two-thirds of their games the next season, too.

The Patriots will likely go over the .500 mark Against The Spread after finishing with one of the best ATS records we’ve seen in years (13-3).

Off Season Moves And Impact

The Patriots did enough that they could potentially be improved over last season’s Super Bowl winning squad, if that is even possible.

From ESPN.com:

They maximized their short-term window around Tom Brady. It's weird to say for a team that just won the Super Bowl, but the Patriots conducted most of this offseason like they want to build the best team possible over the next two seasons, as opposed to building a team that is more likely to be great four or five years down the line. It explains their move to trade a first-round pick for Brandin Cooks, who is signed for the next two years at a total of just over $9.2 million. It justifies their aggressive decision to head into free agency and sign Gilmore in lieu of replacing Logan Ryan with a draft pick. They traded for or signed guys in their prime, including Dwayne Allen, Lawrence Guy and Kony Ealy.

LeGarrette Blount (3.9 yards per carry) was traded away for Mike Gillislee (5.7 yards per carry) and Rex Burkhead (4.6 yards per carry) while Martellus Bennett (12.7 yards per reception) is also gone from the team.  A healthy Rob Gronkowski should offset such a loss.

Perhaps the single most important thing to take away from the off season is that the Patriots retained their full coaching staff from last season.
