Can you believe Tom Brady has just four TD passes, but five picks over his last four games? The Pats have covered the spread in three of those games, but he's not at his best right now and that's been a theme in a few recent years for him. Two years ago he blew home field in the playoffs as New England lost its final two games. The Jets were one of those and they've gone 7-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the Pats. I took the Jets and all those points.
The Patriots have been making short work of their division "rivals" at home, beating the Dolphins by 18 and the Bills by 21 in their only two home games since a Week 9 bye. With homefield advantage in their sights and Bryce Petty coming to town, there's no reason this game should be competitive by halftime. The Patriots will have this number covered by the time Bill Belichick takes his starters out, and the defense will do its part to prevent a backdoor cover against an offense that's averaging about 100 passing yards over the last three games.
