Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: The New England Patriots are the heavy favorites to win the Super Bowl.

Sportsbook giant Bovada, like most in the industry, is listing the Patriots the chalks to win Super Bowl 53, as the team is priced or 6/1 or +600 in American odds.

Although they fell short in winning the Super Bowl earlier this year by losing to Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles last February, the Patriots still have Tom Brady under center and Bill Belichick at the helm of everything the team does. Even at age 41, Brady is regarded among the best quarterbacks in the game today. He is coming off a magnificent 2017 campaign in which he threw for 4,577 yards and 32 touchdowns with only eight interceptions.

Belichick is Belichick and there’s no active coach outside of the Patriots' bench boss who has better mastered the art of winning Vince Lombardis.

Moreover, New England does not seem to be legitimately threatened in the AFC East division. The Buffalo Bills present the biggest challenge to the Pats’ autocratic rule in the group, but the gap between Sean McDermott’s men and the Patriots remains wide.

Speaking of the Eagles, they have the second shortest odds to win it all next season with odds of 10/1. That means a $100 bet on Philly has a potential return of $1,000 should the team repeat.

Other notables are the Green Bay Packers and the New Orleans Saints, who are labeled with odds of 11/1 and 14/1, respectively.
