New England Patriots: 2008 Super Bowl Favorites
Writing by admin on Tuesday, 4 of September , 2007 at 1:29 pm
The news hit the betting world like a hammer: The New England Patriots, 2-1 favorites to win the Super Bowl.
The Pats were expected to get plenty of title talk. This “dynasty” underwent a high-profile upgrade during the offseason, adding the likes of Randy Moss to what was a no-name receiving corps in 2006. But 2-1?
The betting public didn’t even blink. New England’s odds shortened to 8-5 before the pendulum swung back. But those bettors who assumed a fair chunk of Super Bowl risk for relatively little reward might be second-guessing themselves.
New England’s title chances, however strong, took a hit when Rodney Harrison was suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. With Richard Seymour missing at least the first six games after going on the PUP list, and Moss missing the entire preseason with hamstring issues, the Pats are staring at a possible 3-3 start to their would-be championship season.
