Last year New England and Houston were playoff-bound teams. And with quarterbacks that were considered to be top tier. Of course, Tom Brady has departed New England. While Deshaun Watson remains in Houston. After he was locked in with a record-setting contract. Watson’s problem is that he lacks a supporting cast. As good he is, Watson can’t carry Houston alone. New England has the same problems from 2019. The Patriots lack playmakers that can bust games wide open. Correlate Tom Brady covered those issues up. By contrast, Cam Newton hasn’t been up to that NFL betting level.
