2022 NFL Playoffs Odds: New England Patriots Given a 66% Chance to Miss the Playoffs
The New England Patriots have been dominating the NFL for nearly two decades. In 18 of the last 21 years, the Patriots have made the playoffs and they have six Super Bowl titles under their belt during that time.
Yes, a lot of that had to do with Tom Brady but last year they were a 10-win team that made the playoffs with a rookie quarterback in Mac Jones under center. What Bill Belichick has done as a head coach is beyond insane, but sportsbooks think that may be coming to an end.
When looking at the 2022 NFL Playoffs odds, the Patriots, even after a playoff season, are expected to miss out on the playoffs.

Patriots Playoffs Odds Breakdown
The New England Patriots missing the playoffs is something that we aren't used to in the 21st century. Sportsbooks are giving this a nearly 66% chance of happening though as New England begins to go through a transition.
Losing offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could be challenging for this team and a young quarterback. Now, Matt Patricia is taking over the play calling responsibilities and it's safe to say it hasn't gone well.
In two preseason games, Mac Jones went 13 of 21 (61.9%) for 132 yards (6.3 Y/A) no touchdowns, and a pick. Davante Parker, Kendrick Bourne, and Jakobi Meyers as a receiving trio leaves a lot to be desired and the defense definitely took a step back with Jonathan Jones and Jalen Mills as your projected starting corners.
If the Pats do make the playoffs, the most likely outcome is a Wild Card exit which is given a 25% chance of happening. When looking at their schedule though that seems like a tough ask.
New England gets the Bills twice, the Ravens, Packers, Colts, Cardinals, Raiders, and Bengals. All teams that are projected to be pretty solid in 2022. Poor Bill, at least he had 2001-2020.
