New England Patriots at New York Jets odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New England Patriots (0-2) meet the New York Jets (1-1) on Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium. The AFC East rivals kick off the Week 3 game at 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Patriots vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Patriots are coming off a hard-fought 24-17 home loss last week against the Miami Dolphins as 2-point underdogs. The Patriots’ defense made significant halftime adjustments to hold the formidable Miami offense to only 1 score in the 2nd half. New England will look to keep that defensive momentum going, as they prepare to keep Jets QB Zach Wilson guessing.

New York is coming off an embarrassing 30-10 loss to the Cowboys as 8-point underdogs. The Jets defensive front led by Quinnen Williams will need to be felt by Patriots QB Mac Jones all afternoon. Jones looks to rebound after an up-and-down against Miami, where he threw for 231 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT.

Patriots at Jets picks and predictions

Prediction

Patriots 17, Jets 16

Moneyline

Although New England has beaten the Jets 14 games in a row and won 24 of the last 26 meeting between these AFC East rivals, these are obviously very different teams than in past years. Through 2 games, Jones leads the league in pass attempts, which won’t bode well for New England against this Jets defense. However Bill Belichick will be sure to mix in his back of tricks to keep the young offensive line of New York on their toes.

LEAN NEW ENGLAND (-150).

Against the spread

New York’s lackluster offense simply can’t be trusted here. At the same time, they do have various matchups they can take advantage of here. Aside from getting RB Breece Hall more touches, look for the Jets to get the ball to WR Garrett Wilson in space as much as possible. Meanwhile, the Jets CBs on the outside should prove to be a huge issue for the Patriots wideouts.

STAY AWAY.

Over/Under

The weather forecast calls for rain all day in East Rutherford, N.J. Look for this to be a tight defensive matchup, and with the Jets hitting the Under in 13 of their last 17, the UNDER 36 (-110) has to be play the play here.
