Posted by Henry Watkins on Tuesday,January 31, 2017 4:16, EDT in
Super Bowl 51 goes this weekend in Houston, and one of the participants is a team that has been there on a regular basis over the past 10 to 15 years. The New England Patriots have become a Super Bowl Staple, and whether you love them or hate them, you need to respect what they have been able to do during the Brady/Belichick era. This will be their 7th appearance during that reign, and Tom Brady will have the opportunity to fill one hand with championship rings should his team be able to get past the Falcons this coming Sunday. This has all the makings of a game for the ages, and regardless of whether you believe the Patriots will win or lose, you can still make money on them by playing the prop bets that are available.

A First Look At Super Bowl Prop Bets For New England Patriots
SB51 New England Patriots Game Props
The Falcons offense is the one that is getting all the love heading into the big game, but we shouldn’t forget how good the New England Patriots attack has looked this postseason. If you like Brady and company to score first, you can wager on that, and you can also wager on whether that score will be a TD or a field goal.
This offense is perhaps a little more balanced than the Falcons, which is why the running game props might be worth looking at. That said, if the Falcons get out to an early lead, Brady may be asked to open up the passing game, which could see the total offensive yards through the air start to take an upwards tick.
There are a lot of defensive props available for the Patriots in Super Bowl 51, and those are sure to draw a lot of attention given that this was the best defense in the NFL this season. Will they be able to get to Matt Ryan, and if so, how often will the defense create turnovers, and will they be able to add to the point total by scoring a defensive TD? These are just some of the many game props available for the New England Patriots.
SB51 New England Patriots Player Props
It’s no real surprise that much of the focus in the Patriots player props falls on Tom Brady. This team tends to go as he does, and you can wager on the total yards he throws for, number of TD’s, and whether he might even toss an INT or two.
The Patriots receiving group does not really feature a go to guy like the Falcons have with Julio Jones. That may be a good thing for those of you who want to wager on several different players. Chris Hogan and Julian Edelman figure to be the biggest threats, and there are a lot of props to play between those two.
The same rules apply with the running game, with all kinds of different prop bets available for Dion Lewis, LeGarrette Blount, and James White. You can choose to focus on just one of those guys, or spread your wagering money across all of them.
