NFL odds: The signing of Cam Newton forced oddsmakers to change Patriots' 2020 outlook

Cam Newton’s signing by the New England Patriots on Sunday wasn’t just big news in the NFL world.

At BetMGM, oddsmakers had to reevaluate the Patriots on the spot. There are plenty of future bets up on New England — win total, division, conference and Super Bowl odds, Week 1 point spread — and the Patriots aren’t the same team after upgrading from Jarrett Stidham to Newton, a former MVP. Yet, oddsmakers also can’t yet pinpoint how healthy Newton is, how fast he and the Patriots’ offensive coaches will adapt to each other or what impact he can have.
