Deflategate Still Shaking Up NFL Futures
A higher court has now ruled that Tom Brady must serve a four-game suspension for his role in the Deflategate saga that seems never ending. Online sports books and brick and mortar Vegas books have adjusted the NFL futures accordingly.
The Pats Super Bowl odds dropped from 6-1 to 8-1. This puts them as co-favorites to win it all along with Seattle.
The Patriots open the season at Arizona and the spread, where early betting is available, went from +1 to +4.5. Expect other betting lines to be shaken up soon as well.
Brady could still start Week 1 as he will likely appeal the decision. However, his legal options are more limited this time around. However, he could manage to drag out the court proceedings long enough to even finish this season.
