Patriots Season streaks

[everlong]

11 straight division Titles
11 straight playoff appearances
17 straight 10 win seasons

Green wins, red loses. Obviously it will never to go script like this but I 9-7 is where I have this team and they'll get better as the year goes on. I'd love to see them steal one more game and continue the streak of 10 win seasons and playoffs. The division will really come down to are the Bills as good as everybody thinks or are they merely the May champs the way the Jets used to be.

If I had to pick a game to steal it's either @ Houston, @ Miami if Tua doesn't get the starting job until later in the season and least likely SF but I still give it a chance because teams coming off the SB loss tend to be really up and down week to week. Plus the NE game is sandwiched between Seattle and LAR two divisional rivalries.

Is there a streak for point spreads?

For example the last time Pats were a touchdown underdog?

I think they were that big of an underdog in the Cardinals opener in 2016 with JG’s debut.

Pats were 4.5 point favorites

Impressive.

How about if we included only Brady starts, would it go back to 2001?

No I am sure they were a decent sized underdog on the road with JG starting. Maybe you’re thinking of a different game?

Oddsshark says the Pats were a 7.5 road dog to the Texans in the 2009 game when Welker got hurt. Brady started but it was week 17 with the division already wrapped up, the Texans still had something to play for and Pats key players rested. So an asterisk for that reason. Hoyer also got some playing time. They lost that game.

Before that - yup it was SB XXXVI which was the last time they were a dog like that with Brady starting.

ESPN posted spreads in June 2016. Must be before they knew Brady was suspended?

According to Oddshark on 9/10/16 Pats were -7 underdogs.

His suspension was reinstated on 4/25 and the request for en banc denied in July. Yeah I’m sure anywhere who had them as a favorite was not factoring in the suspension at the time. No way they would be favored with a green JG starting.

So Pats open at +9 1/2 at KC?

I saw +8.5 somewhere else but yeah that sounds right.

im thinking we’ll steal 1 or 2 of the reds and blow 1 or 2 of the greens but 9-7 is what i see as well. Sneak into the playoffs as a low seed. Id take it definitely

Division foes will be sniffing blood. They have a massive ? at the most important position in football and people are on here predicting winning records?

Not to mention they have ? with the running game, WR's, run D and pass rush as that diminished as the season wore on.

They’re still in the AFC east and none of the quarterbacks in the division are more of a sure thing than what the Pats have.

Hate to say it but Sam Darnold might be
