There is no head coach in the history of the NFL who has had more success than Bill Belichick with the New England Patriots as he’s won six Super Bowl titles with the team. But it’s safe to say that thing have not exactly been going their way recently, and the latest Super Bowl odds reflect that.
As ESPN points out, the Patriots have just 70-1 odds to win the upcoming Super Bowl, which are the longest odds the team has faced under Bill Belichick.
“Las Vegas doesn’t believe in New England, which is 70-1 to win the Super Bowl this season, per Caesars Sportsbook, the Patriots’ longest preseason Super Bowl odds under Belichick (2000-present). According to SportsOddsHistory.com, it’s the franchise’s longest preseason Super Bowl odds since 1993, when it was 100-1. From the silver-lining department: The last time the Patriots entered a season at least 50-1 to win the Super Bowl was 2001 … and they won their first title with Belichick and Tom Brady (20-17 over the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI),” ESPN wrote.
It’s a sign of a pretty concerning downfall if you’re a Patriots fan, and the NFL world had plenty to say about it on Twitter.
What're the odds on "win a playoff game"?
I'm guessing they're not super great https://t.co/XAkhYF1oc1

It’s safe to say that the Patriots have struggled ever since the departure of Tom Brady. We’ll have to see how they can rebound.
