Title: Gronk to have back surgery Post by: Landshark on May 30, 2013, 12:17:57 pm And Bill Belichick's chances of earning a fourth ring this year have just taken a nose dive.

Also, I don't believe New England's chances of a fourth title, even with a healthy Gronk were high enough to perform a nose dive. A puddle jump...maybe.

How much higher than this do you want them? http://www.ibtimes.com/super-bowl-2014-betting-odds-new-england-patriots-san-francisco-49ers-favorites-win-title-1120881# Granted it these aren't the most recent. The more recent ones take in to account Gronk. They haven't exactly nose dived but they have declined from the #1 spot.

In order to be the favorites you need to be the team in which the most people are willing to bet $$$.
This is not one random person thinking the Pats are or are not the team to beat.
