Have the Patriots become more popular over the years?

Jonas D., Writer

Over the years, some football teams have been more popular than others. For example, in 2014, the Seattle Seahawks were all the rage, but the Patriots have recently come back to reclaim the spotlight. The New England Patriots arguably continue to be the most popular team in the NFL. The team’s name and star players are known throughout America. And in Las Vegas, early wagering shows that the Patriots are heavily favored to win the Super Bowl.

According to David Purdum of ESPN, in Las Vegas, “[T]he big money…is squarely on the New England Patriots, the overwhelming consensus favorites to win Super Bowl LII.

In the past, the Patriots have won five championships, all in the 21st century. Two of those titles came in the last three years. With their recent success, New England hopes to fulfill the financial wishes of gamblers in Las Vegas by winning the Superbowl for the sixth time.
