J-E-T-S Jets! Jets! Jets! try not to L-O-S-E Lose! Lose! Lose!
Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 1,663 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions on 61.7% passing while Breece Hall leads the Jets rushers with 348 yards (3.7 ypc). Garrett Wilson leads New York with 46 receptions for 460 yards and 3 touchdowns. On defense, Jamien Sherwood has a team-high 37 total tackles. As a unit, the Jets defense allows an average of 292.0 ypg and 20.7 ppg (#11), so Mr. Rodgers and the offense needs to catch up with the defense.
Why the New York Jets will win
- Aaron Rodgers is 55-33 ATS (63%) vs Divisional opponents, 48-26 ATS as a Favorite.
- The Jets are 2-0 SU/ATS ve New England and beat them 24-3 in Week 3.

New England Patriots Recap
The New England Patriots may be the worst team in the NFL and have just one win, in Week 1 vs the Bengals—then proceed to lose their next six games to the Seahawks, Jets, 49ers, Dolphins, Texans and Jaguars last week in London. After this AFC East showdown, New England will head to Nashville to play the Titans in Week 9.
Rookie Maye making strides, but NE offense still anemic
Drake Maye took over the QB helm from Jacoby Brissett, and the rookie from North Carolina has performed pretty well, throwing for 541 yards, 5 touchdowns, and 3 interceptions in his three games. Rhamondre Stevens has rushed for 374 yards and 3 touchdowns while Hunter Henry has 313 receiving yards and 1 touchdown from his tight end spot. The Patriots have averaged just 12.6 ppg in their last 5 games. On defense, Jahiani Tavai has a team-high 42 total tackles including 20 solo tackles while Jabrill Peppers has 1 interception so far this season.
Why the New England Patriots will win
- The Patriots are 7-2 ATS the last 9 vs the Jets and 15-2 SU the last 17 meetings.
- NE is 4-1 SU the last 5 Home meetings and had won 15 straight before losing last year.
- The Patriots had won 15 straight series meetings vs the Jets before losing last year.
- New England is 23-4 SU the last 27 games vs the Jets since the 2011 season.
Jets vs. Patriots Prediction
I like the Jets chances here despite the long-term series trends favoring the Patriots. Those were numbers carved from poorer New York rosters and they really need a win here to stay in the AFC race.This is a mad team, and although Rodgers is hobbled, remember he has the better weapons and his team has the better defense. New York outgained New England 400-139 in the first meeting, had 27 first downs to the Patriots’ 11, and didn’t allow a touchdown. With a win, Gang Green can get to 3-5, and with Miami at 2-4, can sneak into second place in the AFC East with a Dolphins loss to the Cardinals.
