Sports books in Las Vegas are shifting their odds on the Patriots now that a federal judge has ruled quarterback Tom Brady can play right away.
Odds compiled by gambling expert R.J. Bell of Pregame.com show New England's chances of winning the Super Bowl at 8-1, compared with 10-1 before the resolution in the "Deflategate" scandal.
The ruling erased a four game suspension dished out by the NFL in the dispute over underinflated footballs in the AFC championship game last season.
Las Vegas casinos moved the Patriots from a 2.5-point favorite to a 7-point favorite in their opener Sept. 10 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Had the suspension been upheld, the Patriots would have started Jimmy Garoppolo instead of Brady.
