N.Y. Jets vs New England Patriots NFL Predictions: The Jets (6-3) are on a three game winning streak after a blow out win last week at home to St. Louis 47-3. Brett Favre was 14/19 for 167 yards and 1 TD. The Jets have won three straight and five of six, with the only blemish a 16-13 overtime loss at Oakland three weeks ago. The Jets have been carried by their defense and RB Thomas Jones, while Bret Favre has thrown twice as many INTs as TDs. Favre will most likely decide this game (whether or not he turns the ball over) but this should be close, so the Pats special teams should give a field position advantage throughout the game. The sports odds posted by the oddsmakers at BetUS.com currently list New England Patriots -3.5 favorites to N.Y. Jets heading into this matchup.
"This is a huge game," said running back Thomas Jones, who gained 149 yards and had three TDs on 26 carries against the Rams. "It's a divisional rival, first of all. It has a lot of implications as far as who's going to be in sole possession of first place in the division, which leads into other things as the season goes along. It's a really big game for us and we really look forward to it."
The Patriots (6-3) are coming off a win last week at home to Buffalo 20-10. QB Cassel, the steadily improving replacement for Tom Brady, directed the offense with poise and completed 23 of 34 passes for 234 yards. The Patriots lost Laurence Maroney for the season and have been without their next two best running backs, Sammy Morris (check status) and LaMont Jordan (check status). Cassel has to learn to throw Moss the deep ball at least four times a game, Moss will catch 1 out of 4 bombs. NE is ranked 12th, giving up only 17 points per game, while the Jet's at 10th, giving up 21 points per game. The online sports betting odds at BetUS.com has the OVER/UNDER in this N.Y. Jets vs New England Patriots game is set at 42 points.
NFL Predictions: The AFC East co-leaders meet on Thursday night in what has the makings of a great battle. The Patriots beat the Jets 19-10 in week two in New York but the Jets have a bit of momentum, having won five of the past six games and posting 47 points. I'm expecting this to be a great game. Both teams are settling into what they are now. The Cassel led Pats are much different than the Brady led Pats, but they are looking comfortable with their new QB. Favre/Mangini/Schott Enheimer look to finally have agreed on a run first offense. The Jets D is looking great the last few weeks, even if the opponents were Oakland, KC & St. Louis. Also, as far as I've seen the Jets get penalized quite a bit on offense, and the Pats hardly do. Jets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in November. Jets are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 meetings. Favorite is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings.
