Season Win Totals NFL Predictions – New England Patriots 2015 Lines

Patriots Over Under Wins Betting Odds

The defending Super Bowl champion Patriots enter this season with a target on their back, but that’s nothing new for Bill Belichick and co. This year, however, the team will play its first four games without quarterback Tom Brady, but losses on the defensive side of the ball could prove to be a greater concern.

New England

The reigns to the Patriot offense will belong to Jimmy Garoppolo during the first four weeks of the season, with Brady suspended four games for his role in the Deflategate investigation. Garoppolo was drafted to be the team’s quarterbacks of the future, but no one expected the future to come so soon.

Running back LeGarrette Blount will also miss the first game of the season against the Pittsburgh Steelers as he serves a suspension. That could pose a problem with Shane Vereen and Steven Ridley leaving via free agency this offseason, though Jonas Gray and Brandon Bolden have proven to be capable backups.

The bigger issues come on the defensive side of the ball, where the Patriots lost starting cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, in addition to defensive tackle Vince Wilfork, who has been a staple along the team’s defensive line for the better part of a decade.

That unit will now have to lean on its linebacking corps, headlined by Jerod Mayo, Jamie Collins, and Don’t’a Hightower. That group will need to make putting pressure on the quarterback a top priority to help out the unit’s young secondary.

The Patriots get to play plenty of home games early in their schedule, and their bye week comes early in Week 4.

Things get tougher from there, though, as the team will take to the round to face off with the likes of the Denver Broncos, Indianapolis Colts, and Dallas Cowboys.

2015 New England Patriots Season Win Betting Prediction

Bet on Under 10 wins +150

The Patriots have been the class of the AFC East for over a decade, but they were the losers in the division’s offseason arms race, as everyone around them got better while they got worse, losing key parts on a defense that really came together last season.

It’s tough to bet against Coach Belichick, and Brady will surely return from his suspension extra-motivated – which is when he’s at his most dangerous – but the schedule doesn’t play out too favorably, and the hits the defense took during the offseason just can’t be overlooked. This feels an awful lot like it will end up as a push, but for our purposes, the under is the play.
