New England Patriots NFL Week 15 Betting Lines

The New England Patriots return from their Week 14 bye positioned to finish last in the AFC East for the second straight season. With three consecutive losses, the team stands 3-10 straight up (SU) and 5-7-1 against the spread (ATS), making them strong contenders for the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL Draft. Facing a challenging final stretch against playoff-bound opponents, a top-five draft selection appears highly likely. Despite the team’s struggles, rookie quarterback Drake Maye has been a silver lining. Since making his debut in Week 4 against a formidable San Francisco 49ers defense, Maye has shown steady improvement, solidifying his status as a potential franchise cornerstone. However, his Offensive Rookie of the Year bid trails behind contenders Jayden Daniels and Bo Nix, primarily due to New England's lack of offensive weapons. The team’s inability to surround Maye with quality playmakers has limited his potential, highlighting the critical need for offseason roster upgrades. With the bye week providing a chance to regroup, the Patriots look to finish the season on a positive note. They’ll face Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15, hoping to play spoiler against a team desperate to stay in the playoff hunt.

The Patriots odds to win Super Bowl LIX, the AFC, and the AFC East have all been taken off the board due to the team officially being eliminated from postseason contention following the disheartening loss to the Colts before going on bye. Their odds of punching a ticket to the second season have also been stricken from the record. The lone futures odds that remain involve their adjusted season win total and odds of winning the fewest regular season games. Their adjusted in-season win total remains a season-low 3.5 with heavier juice still attached to the high side of the impost. Due to the Jaguars unconscionably going all-out to defeat the Titans last week, the Pats saw their odds of winning the fewest games shorten up to +850 from +1100 behind only the Giants (+-140) and Raiders (+280).

New England Patriots Week 14 Recap

The New England Patriots suffered another heartbreaking NFL odds loss, falling 25-24 to the Indianapolis Colts, marking their fourth defeat in five games and officially eliminating them from playoff contention. The Patriots showcased some strengths, including a season-high 200 rushing yards, but inefficiency in the red zone proved costly, converting only 2 of 6 trips into touchdowns. Rookie quarterback Drake Maye had an efficient performance, completing 24 of 30 passes for 238 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Maye’s key plays in the final moments advanced the Patriots to midfield, setting up a record 68-yard field goal attempt by Joey Slye, which fell just short. Tight end Hunter Henry contributed two crucial catches for 20 yards on the final drive but was unable to push the Patriots into better field position. The Patriots controlled possession, holding the ball for nine more minutes than the Colts in the first half. Despite outgaining Indianapolis offensively, four holding penalties and stalled drives forced them to settle for three field goals in the red zone. Antonio Gibson’s 11-yard rushing touchdown and a 2-point conversion gave New England a late 24-17 lead, but the defense couldn't hold off Anthony Richardson’s game-winning drive or 2-point conversion attempt.

Quarterback Tom Brady became the GOAT of his position for Kraft and Belichick. His departure to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 led to that franchise winning the Super Bowl in Brady’s first season. Brady’s championship in Tampa fueled Belichick’s fire to build a new dynasty with Mac Jones, but it didn’t come to pass. Jones was traded to the Jaguars in March of 2024 while the future Hall of Fame coach ended his tenure in New England a few months prior. A new coaching staff led by Jerod Mayo will attempt to rebuild the dynasty with Drake Maye leading the offenses’ charge.
