Last season, the Jets ended a miserable 15-game losing streak against the Patriots and this
year, New York will try to end another long skid. The Jets have lost 8 in a row at home to New
England and now it’s up to Aaron Rodgers to snap this run of futility.
New England Patriots
The Patriots offense, pedestrian at best as Jacoby Brissett has thrown for a total of 260 yards in
two games. Hunter Henry had a career game vs the Seahawks, 8 catches for 109 yards while
the run game was also impressive, 185 total yards. Expect some more ground and pound with
Antonio Gibson and Rhamondre Stevenson as the Patriots will try to keep it close by playing
mistake free, and avoiding turnovers and rely on that tough defense.
New York Jets
While they got the win in Tennessee the Jets were far from impressive, especially offensively.
Breece Hall had just 62 yards while Aaron Rodgers was 18-30, 176 yards and fairly average at
best. We’re still waiting for a breakout game from Rodgers, and I don’t think it’ll come against a
team allowing the 5th fewest points. The defense, considered one of the strongest units, also
hasn’t found its stride yet, just a couple of takeaways. The Jets need to find a way to make a
statement and it could happen Thursday on the national stage.
BEST PLAYER PROP PLAYS
Rhamondre Stevenson: Over 67.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Rhamondre Stevenson has been a beast for the Pats and should thrive against a Jets defense
that has allowed 114.5 rushing yards per game so far. Stevenson has been productive rushing
for 120 yards in Week 1 and 81 yards in Week 2. Stevenson should hit this number considering
Jerod Mayo’s run-first offensive scheme.
Breece Hall: Under 69.5 Rushing Yards (-114)
Breece Hall has shown he can be a game breaker but on short rest, the Jets will likely rotate
runners in the backfield meaning his carries may be limited. The Pats defense is allowing just
46.5 rushing yards per game, third-lowest in the league. Hall has been average thus far, 16
carries for 54 yards in Week 1, and 14 carries for 62 yards in Week 2.
BEST BET: Under 38.5 (-110)
This number is a tough one but the matchup and history justifies the wager. The teams have
played to the under in seven of the last eight contests in New York and the total has gone under
in the last four meetings. Right now, the Pats are a top-5 run team and the Jets will try to
establish more of a run game with Breece Hall, which could mean a ground heavy attack from
both sides. Both defenses have been solid and either team getting to 20 points may be a tough
task.
