Look for the Jets to continue their tradition of stubbornness and annoyance against the rival Patriots on Sunday. New York is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings against New England and is coming off a needed bye week. Tight end Rob Gronkowski will play but will likely not be at full strength, and Tom Brady is also banged up a bit. This should be a good spot with a live home underdog. Take the points.
I'm looking for lots of points in this game, because that's what the Patriots do, and the Jets will follow suit and play a faster pace and score themselves. Will they cover? I don't know, but they've gone 5-0-1 ATS against the Pats the past three seasons. I'm not betting that, though. Ryan Fitzpatrick has a good command of the offense and a rapport with his receivers. He actually beat the Patriots last season and both totals went Over. This one should go Over as well.
Even though the Pats may be without Rob Gronkowski, you still have to like the matchup between their passing game and the Jets' secondary. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start for Gang Green, so there goes your 7.5 right there.
