I like the Jets to beat last year's nearly undefeated chumps.
QB Favre vs Cassel: Advantage Jets
RB Jones vs Green-Ellis: Advantage Jets
DEF Jets best defense last 2 weeks vs Thomas (out): Advantage Jets
Favre knows the team now and he is in command. On 2nd week he barely knew players names and practiced only for 2 weeks. The Jets defense is facing an undrafted QB named Cassel and an undrafted RB named Green-Ellis with the only ones knowing they are in NFL are their parents. Adalius Thomas is out and noone can stop the run or the pass for Patriots.
My Pick:
Jets +3.5
