The Jets are vastly improved in almost every area except for stopping the run. The Patriots have been far from the Patriots we all know, the offense is having problems running the football and the defense can not stop anything with a pulse. The Jets run the ball well enough to move the football and put points on the scoreboard. I'll take the team with the better defense getting a lot of points.
It seems foolish to pick against the Patriots in any spot, but they've had trouble putting away the Jets on the road in recent years, going 2-2 SU and failing to win by more than five points playing at MetLife in this matchup during that stretch. And this New England team is a shell of those Super Bowl contenders on defense, giving up an abysmal 6.9 yards per play. Even last week where the defense seemingly came alive, they still surrendered 409 yards of offense to the Bucs, making it the fifth straight game where the Pats have allowed 400 yards or more. The Jets run the ball well enough to keep this game close.
I'm projecting 41 points for this AFC East battle, giving us a strong play on the Under. The Patriots took some steps in the right direction defensively in their narrow win in Tampa Bay, plus they had extra time to prepare. The Under is cashing in 69 percent of my simulations.
