I love this pick, this game just screams of one of those classic patriots/jets games that comes down to a last second field goal 
what do you guys think?

this is a revenge game for Patriots. and Brady plays his best football after Thanksgiving. not to mention the fact forecast calls for flurries and in the 30's. Patriots weather. Patriots all the way to bank for meComment -
Pats by 7+ here. It shouldn't even be close. Pats are on fire right now, Jets are scraping together wins. Pats win, 31-21Comment -
weather will be a factor.. i would consider the under.. can the receivers catch the ball with frozen hands..? hehe
it already moved 2 pts down from 47.5..
good luck!

Love the Jets in this spot I really think this Jet team matches up well against the PatsComment -
Love itComment -
I'm well aware... doesn't mean anything for this week. Both teams were different then. The Pats secondary has gotten better and is very confident right now, and Tommy 3 Rings is back to his old ways of shredding defenses w fast throws. Sanchez needs to have one of the best games of his life IMO to keep the Jets in this. Pats just have too many weapons, and w no clear number 1 receiver, Revis' impact will be minimizedComment -
And this is where stats go wrong. Sure, Pats are at the bottom for yards given up. But have you watched their games? They had garbage time of 1 quarter or more against the Bengals, Bills, Steelers, Colts, and Chargers. The defense switches to prevent to avoid the big play. Granted, they usually give up a score or 2 late, but the goal is to drain the clock or get a turnover. The defense is far from best in the league, but they aren't at the bottom either. The Pats D wants to burn clock (when ahead), and then get Brady on the field to score points.
I'm not saying this approach is fool-proof (see the Colts game) but in general, it works. Pats D is not as bad as the stats show.
Rule 1 of NFL betting is never bet against Brady and Belichick at home. Jets will be lucky to get the cover hereComment -
Pats 49 Jets 21Comment -
pats defense sucks brah...no matter how u justify it
they gave up 34 points to cleveland in a 20 point loss and gave up 28 points to the jets in their other loss. Hell they gave up 24 points to a mediocre lions team last week
Sanchez has looked good 3 out of the last 4 games and he looked fantastic in that first matchup (and he didn't even have santonio holmes in that game)
defensively, Revis and Cromartie dominated TO and Ochocinco that last game. They should at least contain this tremendous Patriots offense
I think this is a VERY even matchup. I see it being 24-24 late in the game and one of the 2 teams will hate a field goal late to winComment -
NY Jets 27 NE Pats 21Comment -
of course the D looked bad in their 2 losses... that's why they were losses. Having 2 good corners is not how you beat the Pats. On any given play, the Pats have 5 weapons who Brady WILL throw to. He doesn't have a Randy Moss to please anymore. Welker doesn't care if he's shadowed by Revis all game and doesn't catch a ball, as long as they win. Is it any wonder why the Pats work so well? Its because their offense is too multi-faceted and has too many weapons, and there is no single way to stop them.
Revis and Cromartie could each not allow a single catch on them all night... all that means is the rest of that secondary is getting burned all night long.
Pats by 7-10
Edit- and the Packers, one of the best Ds in the league, gave up 26 AT HOME to the Lions. The Lions aren't that bad this yearComment -
pats jets. both teams with 10 days rest. bodies should be healed, both teams should be ready. Might be the first monday night game in a while that i don't bet on, think i might just sit back and just enjoy this one. Ahhhhh who am i kidding ill end up putting some kind of teaser together like i always do on mondays.Comment -
the pats defense looked awful for 3 quarters last week as well
for the love of god, they gave up 130 rush yards to one of the worst rushing teams in the entire league in the lions. They gave up 24 points in 3 quarters. they were just lucky that the lions self destructed in the 4th quarter
the pats defense gave up 34 points and 400 yards of offense to one of the worst offensive teams in the league in Cleveland
oh and Mark Sanchez in the first matchup?? 120 QB rating WITHOUT Santonio Holmes
the whole jets secondary/linebackers are all excellent though in addition to having 2 shutdown corners. Obviously I'm not saying they are gonna shutdown the pats offense, but they will contain itHaving 2 good corners is not how you beat the Pats.
and I don't get it, you seem to be more confident in an awful Patriots defense playing well than a Jets defense that's top 3 in the league in both total yards allowed and total points allowed. That makes no sense to me
Pats by 7-10
on a monday night big time Rivalry game between 2 division rivals with identical records???
that's crazy talkComment -
We'll see what happens. Jets were lucky to win against the Lions and Browns... the Pats coaching won't blow this game like those 2 staffs didComment -
And the Jets needed coaching mistakes to win both those OT games.... and the leagues worst secondary to blow the game against the Texans.
I'm well aware that the Pats lost to Cle... they also dominated the Lions,and the Jets didn't... what's your point?
Comment -
the point is that it's about an equal matchup
major lulz @ you having more confidence in the 29th ranked Patriots defense than the 3rd ranked Jets defense
u trolling?Comment -
I don't have more confidence in them... I already saidd they aren't great. I have the most confidence in the Pats offense, and them being at home. The Jets defense just doesn't have enough to stop the Pats offense right now.
Pats are on fire, Jets are struggling a bit. Although last week was a great game by the JetsComment -
I think Patriots will win but its insane to say that it will be a blowout or even a 10 point game
basically it breaks down like this
Jets offense is decent but not great
Pats offense is fantastic
jets defense is fantastic
Pats defense is awful
Homefield advantage goes to Pats
Coaching Advantage goes to Pats
end result???
Pats - 27
Jets - 24Comment
