Patriots quarterback Mac Jones shined in Week 1, going 35/54 for 316 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Unfortunately for Patriots bettors, the one interception was returned for a touchdown and was the difference in a 20-25 defeat.
Still, Jones’ performance is encouraging for betting on the Patriots at sportsbooks for the NFL because it was the third-highest passing yards total of his career. The Eagles were the best in the NFL for passing yards allowed last season, giving bettors confidence for the +125 moneyline odds against a Dolphins team that gave up 228 passing yards in Week 1.
