Bet On Patriots To Go Undefeated
The Patriots are +1200 to go 16-0 during the 2019 regular season, according to FanDuel. The most intriguing of these bets has to do with the odds on the Patriots going undefeated. They Pats are currently listed at +185 to go undefeated for the regular season.
A Las Vegas sportsbook has a mounting six-figure liability on the New England Patriots to finish the regular season 16-0.
On Sept. 15, the SuperBook at Westgate Las Vegas posted odds on the Patriots winning every game during the regular season: Yes +1,000 (10-1) / No -2,000 (1-20). They must finish 16-0, meaning if there is a tie, the 'No' would be the winner.
Out of the first 148 bets on the prop at the SuperBook, 143 were on the 'Yes,' including $5,000 and $4,500 bets from the same customer in October at shorter odds. One of the first five bets on the 'No,' however, was a $24,000 wager to win $2,000 placed on Oct. 2, but the SuperBook is still rooting for a Patriots' loss.
'Right now, we lose a little over six figures on the Patriots going 16-0,' SuperBook executive director John Murray told ESPN.
Eight weeks into the regular season, New England and the San Francisco 49ers are the only remaining unbeaten teams.
The Patriots are now +500 to finish 16-0, as they head to Baltimore as short road favorites over the Ravens. Barring notable injuries, New England is expected to be favored in its remaining eight games.
The 49ers, who are at Arizona on Thursday, are +1,500 to win all 16 regular-season games.
On Tuesday, Caesars Sportsbook posted odds on the two winless teams, Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals, to lose all 16 games. The sportsbook opened the Bengals at +2,000 to finish 0-16 and quickly took action from a respected player that drove the price down to +700.
To create the prices, Jeff Davis, director of trading for Caesars, said his team of oddmakers make a projected point spread and money-line on each of the remaining games. 'You figure out the parlay payout of all the money-lines,' Davis told ESPN. 'You take that number and create a yes/no price around what you come up with.'
The Dolphins are +500 to lose all 16 regular-season games.
The 2020 New York Jets could very well join the 2008 Lions and 2017 Browns as the third winless team in modern NFL history.
Oddsmakers at DraftKings Sportsbook are offering a competitive market for the Jets to lose out. The Jets to go winless is currently “Yes -134” at the book, while “No” is +110.
At FanDuel Sportsbook, “Yes” is -125 while “No” is +100.
Jets schedule breakdown
Patriots Undefeated Regular Season
Here are the Jets’ four remaining games:
- Sunday, Dec. 13: at Seahawks
- Sunday, Dec. 20: at Rams
- Sunday, Dec. 27: vs. Browns
- Sunday, Jan. 3: at Patriots
The Seahawks, Rams and Browns are all battling for top NFL playoff seeds, while there is certainly no love lost between the Jets and the Patriots. New England is still mathematically alive for a playoff berth at 6-7 at the moment, but there’s a good chance that their Week 17 game against Gang Green will mean nothing in terms of potentially advancing to the postseason.
New England Patriots Undefeated Season
What could make that last game interesting if the Jets are 0-15 going in is that if the Patriots were to win and clinch a winless season for the Jets, they would also be gift-wrapping Trevor Lawrence to their rivals for the next decade or so in the process. The Jaguars, who are also certainly in the market for a franchise-altering QB, are in a race to the bottom as well as they currently sport a 1-11 record. The Patriots would certainly much rather see Lawrence go to Jacksonville than a team they play twice a year.
The Jets came incredibly close to getting off the schneid in Week 13 as they were up by four points late in the fourth quarter against the Las Vegas Raiders. But with five seconds left on the clock, the Jets blitzed Raiders quarterback Derek Carr. Carr then threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Henry Ruggs III, completing one of the more bizarre moments in NFL history. New York fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams the next day.
