The Patriots’ decision to make Drake Maye their new starting quarterback might have caused some to have higher expectations for the team when they take on the Texans on Sunday and for the rest of the season. However, oddsmakers are setting relatively low expectations for the rookie in his debut.
Maye’s projected to have fewer than 200 passing yards in his first NFL start at most sportsbooks. His passing yard total is set at 164.5 yards at DraftKings Sportsbook as of Saturday afternoon. Additionally, Maye’s passing touchdowns total is only set at 0.5 touchdowns at DraftKings. His interceptions total is also set at 0.
