Game Preview

Jets sacked Deshaun Watson 8 times last weekend. Now, we know that the Browns’ offense is bad, but still, 8 sacks are remarkable. That’s the main reason why NYJ won last weekend against the Browns, 17-12.

Offense, on the other hand, is very limited under QB Geno Smith. Despite not throwing a single interception this year and posting 6 TD passes, the Jets struggle to score heavily.

Patriots’ defense is even better, and since Drake Maye and the rest of the offense contribute well, New England is 3-2. Maye threw 4 and ran for one more touchdown in the 45-17 win over the Raiders last weekend, his career high.

After beating the Bills in Buffalo, it’s pretty sure that the Pats are back on the right track. If they manage to triumph in this contest too, that would be their 3rd straight and a step closer to the playoffs.

Jets vs. Patriots Predictions

Patriots are favored by one touchdown, and we are more than sure of their victory here. Jets have a solid defense, yet a poor attack, plus they aren’t handling the rivals well on the road. Therefore, Pats covering the spread here is our final pick.
