Summary

The New England Patriots enter the 2021 season with a win total of 9. In 2020 the team was struck with a number of late COVID opt-outs featuring five key starters in addition to losing Brady and skill players in the offseason.

If he and the team won 7 last season, bettors should be optimistic heading into 2021 with the opt-outs returning to the lineup and a free agency frenzy that built one of the more interesting rosters in the league.

0:57.3	So why do I have the Patriot so high?
1:00.7	Of the top 10 teams, there's another team that I'm going to make a pretty big statement about,
1:05.7	but I would say that I am more intrigued by the upside that New England offers than any other team in my top
1:14.8	10. And that largely is relevant to price point, but I think perception to some extent too.
1:21.6	And so before I get into why I like them, I'll just try to make the case against it and just play devil's advocate.
