The Patriots, once a powerhouse team in the NFL, are currently struggling. After missing the playoffs in 2021 with a 4-13 record, they are now in a rebuilding phase. This has made them the favorite to miss the playoffs in the upcoming 2024 season, according to DraftKings.com.
The odds for this outcome are -1800, making the Patriots the most likely team not to make it to the postseason. There are several reasons for this, including their poor performance and their rivals in the AFC East division performing well. The Bills, Dolphins, and Jets are all expected to have successful seasons, making it challenging for the Patriots to climb out of last place in the competitive division.
While other teams also have odds of missing the playoffs at -1100 or lower, such as the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, there is still much uncertainty about how these predictions will unfold once the season begins. Only time will tell if these teams can improve their skills and compete with one another on a higher level.
