Fresh off their fifth Super Bowl win, the Patriots are favored to win their sixth next year.
Las Vegas odds-makers have wasted no time in making the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots the early favorites to win Super Bowl 52 next year.
Just hours off their stunning come-from-behind win over the Atlanta Falcons, the Patriots are 5-to-1 favorites to win their sixth Super Bowl championship next year in Minneapolis. Dallas Cowboys fans will be happy with their team's 8-to-1 odds. Other top contenders for next year include the Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Seattle Seahawks who all have 12-to-1 odds.

Scott's thoughts:
- A sixth Super Bowl win will tie the Patriots with the Steelers for the most in NFL history.
- Early odds don't mean much. Before this season started, the Falcons had 80-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl.
- As long as Tom Brady is still playing, the Patriots will always be a top contender.
