NFL Football Betting Lines: New England Patriots To Win Super Bowl

The New England Patriots failed to win even one playoff game last year, but they're still high on the NFL Football Futures Odds on practically all the futures lists heading into the season. Such is life for the league's golden child.

New England went 14-2 overall and a lucrative 10-5-1 against the spread last season, but then they were thumped 28-21 at home in the Divisional Playoffs – by the hated Jets no less.

Still, that hasn't been enough to dampen the public's enthusiasm for Tom Brady and company for 2011, as they sit as the -165 favorites to win the AFC East title again. The Patriots are also up high on the NFL lines at 5/2 odds to win the AFC Championship, and at 11/2 odds to win another Super Bowl.

The oddsmakers at the Bodog Sportsbook also have the Patriots' wins OVER/UNDER for the season at 11.5, a number they should have no trouble surpassing if Brady remains on top of his game. The quarterback threw for an even 3,900 yards for New England last season with 36 touchdown passes and, incredibly, only four interceptions.

And Brady has a new target down the field for 2011 as the team signed yet another reclamation project in the offseason – former Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco.

The artist formerly known as Chad Johnson had just four touchdown catches to go along with 831 receiving yards for Cincinnati in 2010, but could find himself in the end zone much more often this year with Brady chucking him the ball.

The Patriots begin their season on road in Miami this year as they take on the Dolphins in the early kickoff on Monday Night Football.
