Patriots vs. Jets Odds
Game Preview
New England lost to the Bills at home but bounced back quickly, winning in Baltimore against the Ravens, 28-24. They were 11 points down, but Maye and the boys kept their composure, locking the Ravens when needed the most.
The Pats’ QB had 380 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and one interception. Stefon Diggs was his top target, with 138 receiving yards in 9 catches.
Jets are probably asking themselves if Aaron Glenn is the right fit for the head coaching position. They had their ups and downs (mostly downs), and the team is 3-12 right now, looking bad.
Saints rolled over them last weekend, 29-6, with the team from New Orleans starting the season with the same goals, also in rebuild, yet improving a lot as time went by. The Jets didn’t make a single step forward.
Patriots vs. Jets Head to Head
The AFC East rivalry has seen 133 games, with the Pats winning 76, the Jets 56, and there was one tie. This year, we saw the Patriots winning at home, 27-14.
Patriots vs. Jets Predictions
The New England Patriots are on a different level compared to the Jets. That’s why we pick them to win and to cover the spread here, which is 13.5 points.
