The New England Patriots are gaining buzz as a trendy sleeper team, but not everyone is on board. Many onlookers expect the Patriots to improve drastically from a 4-13 season. The Athletic’s Vic Tafur warned everyone to slow down the hype train when picking the Patriots to finish under that win total among his best NFL bets. “We like Mike Vrabel fine, but to hear people talk this offseason, the new Patriots coach is a combination of Vince Lombardi and Bill Belichick,” Tafur wrote.
