The Patriots have won 17 straight home games, and are 6-0 against the spread in their last six games – including a 43-0 whipping of the Dolphins last week. New England has also won eight straight games straight up against the Jets at Gillette Stadium. The Jets are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games, and are 0-5 straight up. Making matters worse is that both Sam Darnold (mononucleosis) and Trevor Siemian (ankle) are out Sunday. Sure, RB Le'Veon Bell is great, but he is one player. Tom Brady and the Patriots roll again.

In its past three games, beginning with the high-octane Rams in the Super Bowl, New England has permitted six total points. Through two weeks this year, the Patriots' allowance of four yards per snap is well below the next stingiest defense (Chicago's at 4.4). The previous 14 Pats outings have produced 11 Unders, and another looms with the Jets likely down to their third-string QB, Luke Falk. Now, if only coach Bill Belichick will call off the dogs offensively in the fourth quarter, which he refrained from doing against Miami.
