To see a New England Patriots NFL win total of 4.5 is jolting considering the franchise’s dominance over the 21st century. However, the mainstays of the franchise that resulted in six Super Bowl championships since 2001 are gone, most notably Tom Brady and Bill Belichick, as the Patriots look to seek a new identity this season under first-year head coach Jerod Mayo. After selecting Drake Maye with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and signing veteran career-long backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett, where does the value lie in the Patriots when betting 2024 NFL wins totals and 2025 Super Bowl futures?
The Patriots finished last in the AFC East for the first time since 2000. In the last four NFL seasons, a last-place team from the year before won their division the next year. It would be a huge shock if that team is the Patriots in the 2024 NFL season, but is there a disappointing team from last year that can supersede one of the lowest 2024 NFL win totals and generate a huge payday in 2024 NFL futures bets? Before you lock in any 2024 NFL win total picks or 2025 Super Bowl picks, you should see what SportsLine NFL expert Eric Cohen has to say.

Top 2024 NFL Win Total predictions
One team Cohen is bullish on this fall are the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams went 7-1 over their final eight games last season with their only loss coming in overtime on the road to the 13-4 Ravens and there’s ample reason to suggest how they closed the regular season is a better resemblance of the team’s talent than their start. The Rams went 10-7 with six of their seven losses coming to teams who made the playoffs last year. Their only loss to a non-playoff team came against the Bengals when Joe Burrow was healthy. Cohen believes their ability to knock off the teams they should beat consistently gives them a strong chance at surpassing their 8.5 win total this season.
On the other side, he is fading the New England Patriots and new coach Jerod Mayo. The Patriots ranked 31st of 32 NFL teams in scoring (13.9 points per game) last year while ranking 30th in yards per game. They struggled to keep drives alive, finishing 31st in third-down percentage and last in fourth-down percentage. The Patriots signed veteran Jacoby Brissett along with drafting Drake Maye with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, but with a wide receiver room lacking a true No. 1 target, it may be a struggle again for New England to move the ball. Pair that with playing in a division with Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers and Tua Tagovailoa and playing the tough NFC West this year, Cohen expects a rough first year in New England in the post-Bill Belichick era.Ā See which other surprising winners Cohen is picking only at SportsLine.
