NFL Betting in Québec

 New England Patriots

There are no NFL teams in Canada, but the New England Patriots are the nearest team from Québec.

The Patriots franchise has been around since 1960, starting in the American Football League before the AFL and NFL merger in 1970. New England owns six Super Bowl championships (2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016, 2018) and has made the NFL playoffs 27 times.

They are led by rookie quarterback Mac Jones, who was drafted 15th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Jones was also the first first-round quarterback drafted by the Patriots since Drew Bledsoe in 1993. He signed his four-year rookie contract, worth $15.6 million fully guaranteed, on July 6, 2021. New England's current odds are at +750 to win the AFC East and +5000 to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, per DraftKings Sportsbook.
