A sports betting dynasty, by the numbers
Perhaps it's easiest to demonstrate just how dominant New England has been in the sports betting world by listing some numbers from ESPN Stats & Information:
? The last time the Patriots experienced a losing regular season against the point spread was in 2002; that streak of 17 is more than twice as long as any other franchise's longest streak in the Super Bowl era (since 1966).
? The Patriots were 189-128-7 ATS with Brady starting and Belichick have the second-best point spread cover percentage (59.6%) of any quarterback and head coach combination (minimum 80 games).
? In those games, they were favored by an average line of 5.8 points (fourth-shortest mark as favorite by any QB in the Super Bowl era with at least 100 starts).
? Off a regular-season loss, Brady and Belichick were 42-19 ATS (68.9%), which ranks third-best (minimum of 30 games).
? Brady and Belichick never lost four straight games ATS in a single regular season.
? Brady has been favored in 74 consecutive regular-season starts, the longest streak by any starting QB in the Super Bowl era.
