The New York Jets (1-4) are on the road Sunday to play the New England Patriots (2-4) for a Week 7 AFC East showdown. Kickoff from Gillette Stadium is slated for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Jets vs. Patriots odds and lines; check back for our NFL picks and predictions.
The Jets had their bye in Week 6. The last time saw New York in action was a Week 5 loss 27-20 to the Atlanta Falcons in London. QB Zach Wilson has struggled in his rookie season, being held without a passing touchdown in three of five starts and under 200 passing yards in two of those outings.
RB Michael Carter has been the leading rusher out of the backfield for the last four Jets’ games, but despite finding paydirt in back-to-back outings the fourth-round pick has failed to reach 40 rushing yards in any game since Week 2.
The Patriots fell 35-29 in overtime to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 6. While the overtime finish indicates a close game, Dallas outgained New England 567 to 335 in total yards and dominated time of possession 39:17 to 26:51.
QB Mac Jones was 15-for-21 passing for 229 yards and 2 touchdowns against 1 interception. WR Kendrick Bourne lead all Patriots receivers with 75 yards, but they all came on one reception. While WR Jakobi Meyers lead the team with 6 targets. RB Damien Harris reached 100 rushing yards for just the second time this season and the first time since the opening week as he finished with 101 yards and a score on 18 carries.
