New England Patriots vs NY Jets Prediction
I’m going with New England. The Pats gave up a healthy bit of offense to the Jaguars last weekend: 364 total yards (193 passing) and 23 first downs—not to mention the 6-of-10 rate on third-down tries. New England came up with just 38 rushing yards themselves, with 17 first downs. That makes 16 or fewer points in four of the last five games.
As for the Jets, they posted another miserable outing against the Steelers on national television last weekend. New York gave up 409 total yards (260 passing) and 6.2 yards per play while going just 3-of-10 on third downs themselves. The Jets can’t get out of their own way, and I don’t see them regrouping well enough to cover on the road this weekend.
