Patriots at Jets: Game notes
- The Patriots enter on a four-game skid and have never lost five in a row under head coach Bill Belichick. The last time New England suffered a five-game losing streak was in 1995 under then-head coach Bill Parcells. The Pats almost won last week (as 4-point underdogs), but QB Cam Newton‘s red-zone fumble in the final minute thwarted a chance to tie or take the lead in a 24-21 loss at the Buffalo Bills.
- The Jets, one loss away from their first 0-9 start in franchise history. QB Joe Flacco is expected to start in place of Sam Darnold, who is doubtful with an injury to his throwing shoulder. Head coach Adam Gase told reporters, “Unless something strange happens, Joe will be the starter.” Flacco, who has completed just 51.9% of his passes with 1 TD and 1 INT, started in Week 5 (30-10 loss to the Arizona Cardinals) and Week 6 (24-0 blanking at the Miami Dolphins) when Darnold was out with the same nagging injury.
- The Patriots are 3-4 ATS, coming off last week’s cover vs. the Bills. The Jets are 1-7 ATS, covering as 9.5-point dogs in an 18-10 home loss to the Bills two weeks ago.
- The Pats have won the last eight in the series, and are 16-2 in their last 18 vs. the Jets. New York’s last victory in the rivalry – if you can call it that – was back on Dec. 27, 2015, with a 26-20 overtime win.

Patriots at Jets: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Patriots 20, Jets 13
Money line (?)
PASS. The Patriots’ -455 is way too high of a price to even think about.
Against the spread (?)
As bad as the Jets are, the Pats aren’t much better and are hampered by injuries. Back the JETS +9.5 (-110) with a small wager – half your usual bet. They should be able keep it within 10 points.
Over/Under (?)
The UNDER 40.5 (-106) is the play. The Patriots, 3-4 vs. the O/U, average 19.4 points per game to rank 29th in the league. The Jets, 3-5 vs. the O/U, average 11.8 PPG to rank last.
