Breakdown: While the Patriots Super Bowl odds have moved they are not considered a serious contender. Not yet.
There are are still 9 teams with more favorable championship odds. The main reason. Quarterback. The Patriots are not and will not be considered a serious threat to make it to the Super Bowl with Cam Newton as their quarterback.
Now it remains possible that the Patriots will still make a move at quarterback. Whether it be to trade up in the draft for someone like Trey Lance or wait out the 49ers for Jimmy Garoppolo.
