They are favored because they are a good football team. The last 13 years they've made the playoffs 11 times. They've been to the Superbowl 5 times. Been the AFCCG 6 or 7 times. Have consistently been top 5 in offense for the past several seasons. They made it to the Superbowl with the worst defense in the league last year and they made it there almost entirely on the arm of Brady. Plus they have arguably the best coach in the league. The Patriots are always in the mix, always make the playoffs and consistently win. If you mean the public loves teams because they win, they why would they favor any other team, than the one who has probably more postseason wins and appearances over the last decade than any other team?
The Yankees have the biggest bankroll in professional sports. That's why they are favored. Their ability to buy really whoever they want and their ability to buy talent allows them to buy wins.
So really why would any other team or teams be favored to win over the winningest team?
