The New England Patriots odds have been hovering between +200 and +300 for the majority of the season. The day after Week 1, their odds were +350 which would be the highest since the start of the regular season.
Yet, once October hit and the Pats continued to be undefeated their odds hit +250 on Oct. 14 and went as low as +200 on Halloween. Entering Week 9, their odds were +217, so following the loss, the odds have changed quite a bit.
Patriots Struggle In Week 8
The Patriots did not play like they usually do against the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson had a very impressive game throwing for 163 yards and a touchdown while adding 61 yards rushing and two touchdowns on the ground against what had been a vaunted Pats defense. Mark Ingram also ran the ball for 115 yards on 15 carries.

Meanwhile, Tom Brady threw for under 300 yards and a touchdown while also throwing an interception, and was sacked twice. The run game struggled with Sony Michel only able to manage 38 yards.
Patriots Still Worth Betting?
Yes, the New England Patriots are absolutely worth betting at +275.
Even with the loss many still peg the Patriots as the favorites to win the Super Bowl and to get their odds at +275 after their first loss is providing huge value.
New England will win the division, which is a given, and most likely earn a bye. Then, all they will have to do is win two games to advance to the Super Bowl. This game was more likely a blip than a trend, so take the Pats confidently.
